India Bound Duster Rival Hyundai ix25 Launched in China at 12 Lacs

Hyundai’s upcoming India bound compact SUV ix25 has been launched in China. The SUV was first showcased at the Beijing Motor Show earlier this year and has been spied regularly after that in China. Very recently, it was spotted testing in India, confirming its Indian foray sometime soon.

Chinese ix25 is 4270mm long, 1780mm in width and 1630mm in overall height, thus making it a smaller car than the Renault Duster but bigger than the Ford EcoSport. As we talked about earlier, the ix25 may be a Ford EcoSport rival in China but thanks to the sub 4 meter excise duty benefit law in our country the ix25 will see the Renault Duster and Nissan Terrano as its key competitors. Well later on, we can expect Mahindra’s upcoming compact SUVs to join the bandwagon as well.

  1. i am following this car launch for a long time. will it be coming with 2 additional seats as an option? folding seats . Indian family looks for a family car with this option…..anyway not the honda mobilio. if ix 25 is launched with this option under this price tag…no wonder it will out sell all its rivals……am waiting to shift from i20 to ix25.
