Load capacity 940ℓ... Hyundai Motor launches 'Casper Van'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 3rd that it has launched the 'Casper Van' model with enhanced cargo capacity.

The Casper Van features the iconic design and safety and convenience features of the Casper while freeing up the existing second-row seat space to achieve a cargo capacity of 940ℓ.

First introduced in September last year, the Casper created a new boom in the compact car market with its iconic design and diverse colors. In particular, the application of full folding functionality for all seats, including the driver's seat, expanded the usability of the interior space, receiving great response from customers.

Hyundai Motor applied intelligent safety technologies as standard on the Casper Van, including ▲Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists) ▲Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) ▲Lane Following Assist (LFA) ▲Driver Attention Warning (DAW) ▲High Beam Assist (HBA) ▲Front Vehicle Departure Alert.

By intensively applying the lightweight hot stamping method to key parts, the vehicle minimizes body deformation during collisions and secures safety by achieving a high-strength lightweight body that increases torsional rigidity and average tensile strength.

The Casper Van is equipped with a gasoline 1.0 engine delivering a maximum output of 76PS, maximum torque of 9.7kgf·m, and combined fuel efficiency of 14.3km/ℓ. For customers seeking more power, a gasoline 1.0 turbo engine is also available as an option, offering a maximum output of 100PS, maximum torque of 17.5kgf·m, and combined fuel efficiency of 12.8km/ℓ.

The Casper Van is priced at a single trim level of 13.75 million KRW. It can be purchased anytime and anywhere through the dedicated website 'Casper Online.'

A Hyundai Motor official stated, “The launch of the Casper Van will be an opportunity to once again showcase the diverse appeal of the Casper to customers.”
