- Launch timing, pricing and powertrain choices for Hyundai's two new SUV nameplates by FY27.
- Bundle panoramic sunroofs with automatic transmission, ADAS, connected-car and premium audio packages to raise trim-level realization.
- Use the two planned FY27 SUV nameplates to target gaps in compact and mid-size SUV segments where premium-feature attachment can be highest.
