The K1 platform is utilized for entry subcompact models (A-segment). It was introduced in 2018 coinciding with the launch of the second generation Hyundai Santro, replacing the SA platform and BA platform. It is a modified version of the SA platform, and Hyundai claimed the K1 platform is 63 percent more rigid than its predecessor. Two wheelbase variations are available, which are 2,400 mm (94.5 inches) and 2,450 mm (96.5 inches).

The platform is able to support models with three-row seating.[5] It is derived from the PB platform and GB platform, while also replacing them.

The platform also improves safety due to the usage of a multiload path structure.
