Hyundai Motor has released a revamped version of the company's entry-level mini SUV, the Casper.

The new Casper builds on the iconic design of the previous generation, enhancing the SUV's rugged appearance with a more sophisticated exterior and premium interior design.

Hyundai Motor said the model features newly designed 17-inch alloy wheels and redesigned rear lamps. It also offers improved aerodynamic efficiency by optimizing the design of the radiator grille and wheels to minimize air resistance.

The company has also enhanced noise and vibration reduction in the engine compartment, resulting in better overall quietness and refinement compared to the previous model.

Hyundai also announced the release of a new base model trim package for the Casper Electric, the electric version of the mini SUV that was first introduced in July.

The new trim is equipped with a 42 kilowatt-hour ternary nickel-cobalt-manganese battery produced by the joint battery venture between Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution.
