Both engines are capable of producing 75 hp and 99 hp of power respectively.

Casper has dimensions of 3,600 mm which means it is in the same class as the Suzuki Ignis and Renault KWID.

Casper SUV will soon be launched in the Indian markets, it will compete with cars such as the Tata Punch, Renault KWID, and Maruti Suzuki Ignis.

There are also reports that the Hyundai Casper will get a fully electric version and will go into production in mid-2023.

The Casper span 3,595mm in length, 1,595mm in width, and 1,575mm in height. If these numbers are true, the Hyundai Casper will sit slightly shorter and narrower than the existing Santro hatchback that spans 3,610mm in length, 1,645mm in width and 1,560mm in height.

The trial production of the new Casper has already commenced, while the full production is slated to begin in September 2021.
