Hyundai has also announced that it will integrate features such as swivel seats and more in its car and SUV line-up to make it more usable for people with disabilities. 

Additionally, Hyundai and Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled will support differently-abled individuals with assistive devices. There will also be an all-new programme introduced that will use blind cricket as a platform in pursuit of physical and social development of the visually impaired in India. To aid the visually impaired crickets at all levels, Hyundai will host special camps and will also organise an international bilateral series for the national blind cricket team.
