Hyundai i10 Diesel 1.1L

A new 1.1L, 3-cylinder CRDi engine with VGT(Variable Geometry turbo) develops 55KW/75bhp capable of reaching a maximum speed of 165km/h will power european and indian i10. According to Hyundai, the the diesel i10 will consume 4.3 liters of diesel per 100km(23kmpl) and it CO2 emissions is 114g/km(less than the stipulated 120g/km). Hyundai has already created a lot of buzz with the all new 1.2-liter Kappa engine last year and well crossed maruti swift in terms of sales in a short span of 17 months.



Hyundai i10 Diesel is going to be the smallest diesel car in India. If the Hyundai I10 diesel specs are to be believed this will sure be a better and more efficient engine than what is currently powering Swift Diesel. The diesel motor will come in form of a three cylinder 1.1 litre turbo charged engine. The price range is expected to be in between 5-6 lakhs INR, It would be competitively priced below Swift diesel as is the case with i10 1.2L kappa variants. Mileage is expected to be well above 20 kmpl on highway and 18-20 kmpl in city.

Expected to hit the showrooms by mid 2009 somewhere around May-June to be more precise. So if you are planning for a small diesel car, watch out for this one.

According to me if anyone wants to take a relief from Maruti's small cars then Hyundai I10 Diesel is a best deal which is a perfect blend of looks and power.
