Hyundai Prime taxis: Everything you need to know
The Prime HB and SD taxis are identical to the models they are based on. However, they are stripped down to bare essential features as they are made for fleet duty. They pack rear AC vents, steering wheel-mounted controls, speakers, fast USB-C charging on the front row, front and rear power windows, rear defogger, central locking, footwell lighting, and driver seat height adjustment. The Prime HB gets additional features like rear adjustable headrests and keyless entry.
On the safety front, the Hyundai Prime HB and SD get 6 airbags, rear parking sensors, 3-point seatbelts, an emergency stop signal, and a speed limiting function (80km/h). Buyers can opt for a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, rear camera, a vehicle location tracking device with a panic button, and a 3-year warranty.
The two taxis are powered by Hyundai’s 1.2L Kappa 4-cylinder petrol + CNG engine. The automaker claims a fuel efficiency of 28.40 km/kg for Prime SD and 27.32 km/kg for Prime HB.
Mr Tarun Garg, Managing Director & CEO designate, Hyundai Motor India Limited, said “With the introduction of Prime HB and Prime SD, HMIL is proud to enter the commercial mobility space with products that are engineered for trust, reliability and good earning potential. Fleet operators and taxi drivers look for vehicles that deliver maximum uptime, predictable maintenance and low operating costs, and the Hyundai Prime range has been developed precisely with these priorities in mind. Backed by Hyundai’s extensive service network, attractive warranty, maintenance packages, low cost of ownership and flexible finance solutions, Prime HB and Prime SD will enable our commercial customers to enhance earnings while offering safe and comfortable mobility to passengers. This marks an important step in extending Hyundai’s promise of hassle-free ownership to the commercial segment as well.”
