"The model will be both for exports and the domestic market. While it will retain the name Getz for exports to the European market, we will launch it as Getz Prime in the domestic market," H S Lheem, managing director, Hyundai Motor India, said.
He said Getz Prime will come in two petrol engine variants of 1.1 litre and 1.3 litre enabling it to partly qualify for the benefit of excise duty on small cars.
As per finance ministry's definition, small cars have been defined as petrol cars with an engine capacity not exceeding 1,200cc and not exceeding 4,000mm in length, and diesel cars of engine capacity not exceeding 1,500cc and not exceeding 4,000mm in length.
"Towards the third quarter, we are planning to bring the diesel variant of Getz Prime with 1.5 litre common rail direct injection (CRDi) engine - similar to the one in Verna," Lheem said. (PTI)
