The new small car is under development at company's R&D center in its domestic market. After its launch in the Indian market, the new Hyundai 800 CC car will compete with country's best selling car Maruti Alto. A few months back, the company had indicated that it has plans of launching a small car in India which will be priced between the Tata Nano and Maruti Alto.

Recently, an official of the Hyundai India was reported as saying that there is minimal contribution in terms of engineering from India, but there has been a lot of input like component development, market research and customer feedback from the country.

On the other hand, Mr HW Park, the CEO and MD of the Hyundai India has said that the company is on course and the development is on its way. However, he refused to give the time frame of the launch.
