Seeing the enthusiastic response of the consumers, Hyundai has planned to introduce the diesel variant of its newly launched premium hatchback i20. Unlike the existing petrol i20 variants which carry 1.2 litre engines, the diesel variant will come with either in a 1.4-litre engine or in a 1.5-litre engine option. The diesel i20 model is already available in the European market with an engine size of 1.6-litre. But to avail the lower excise duty on compact cars, the company is planning to bring the car with lower capacity. Though Hyundai is already selling a good number of units than expected, it has decided to launch the diesel variant with a view to further accelerate the sales.
This car is of great significance to the Indian car industry as it is the first Indian built car that is been exported to the international markets. Inspired from the i30, the car was initially designed to woo and meet the demands of European consumers. But as Hyundai has shifted its small car plant from Korea to India, it is now also stressing on India’s market demand.
Hyundai i20 display a stylish look with a low slung grille, good large headlamps, and cool sporty round fog lamps. The interior of the car is also quite inviting with spacious cabin and flexible seating. The car is flavouring success in the Indian market due to its high reliability, uncompromising performance, and affordable price. The new variant also promises to deliver the similar performance with its fuel efficient and clean diesel engine.
Its a great news for Hyundai lovers, the stylish small car is creating waves in Indian Auto Industry. With the new versions of i-12 hitting the roads with the newly installed 1.4/1.5 lit engine will surely increase the pace of Hyundai sales. Now its gonna be a powerpacked 'small' ride!!
Hyundai has always surprises in their magic box. With the launch of i-20 104/1.5 lit engine variants, they are here to has revolutionize the style and performance of ride.
Diesel technology is gradually taking over petrol in the Indian market. One of the key factors contributing to the fact is the low price of diesel. Further to that I think, manufacturers are not introducing diesel variants of their respective car models because the technology has moved to new heights with the introduction of common rail diesel engine, turbochargers, and others. Even the power output, performance, and fuel efficiency of diesel cars are gradually surpassing their petrol counterparts.
Are you sure of that ?
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
