Modern lighting and large alloy wheels

Up front, it features a split headlight setup; the full-width LED daylight running lights are placed on the nose, giving it a modern touch, and the main vertically stacked headlamps are integrated with the bumper. The Hyundai logo at the centre just above the large trapezoidal mesh-style grille reflects the branding, and the sculpted bumper also gets angular air intakes for the cooling of the engine.

Large boot space and powered front seats

Will comes with seating for six people in a layout of 2-2-2, featuring captain seats in the second row and seven individuals in a configuration of 2-3-2. Behind the third-row seats is 200 litres; by folding the rear seats, it can be expanded up to 585 litres. When both the second and third-row seats are down, the cargo capacity increases to 1,892 litres, which helps in carrying multiple big pieces of luggage easily.

Inside, it is set to feature a two-spoke steering wheel with a Hyundai emblem on it and physical buttons for control, under which there’s a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster that shows all the driving data, such as speed, fuel and others, and the centre dashboard also gets a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system just above the central console that supports wireless connectivity via Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth.

Its engine layout is front-mounted, the drivetrain is front-wheel drive, and the steering is electric power steering. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut, ensuring good ride comfort, but the rear is a coupled torsion beam axle, helping to provide good ride quality.

The front wheels may get ventilated disc brakes, providing better heat absorption and powerful braking, but the rear is anticipated to feature drum brakes that are ideal for braking of rear wheels in multipurpose vehicles. For safety braking, it is all set to get an anti-locking braking system with an electronic braking system to ensure wheels don’t get locked up and braking force is distributed among all wheels.
