Hyundai i10 kappa
Hyundai has launched its popular small car, the Hyundai i10, with a new 1.2 liter engine which it calls the 'Kappa.'
The original 1.1 liter i10 is still available in two models, D-Lite and Era. The 1.2 liter Kappa i10 will come in three variants - the Magna, Sportz and Asta. The i10 Kappa Sportz will be the top-end model, with sunroof, great interiors, and a bodykit.
The i10 in India had the Epsilon engine so far - the new Kappa all-aluminium engine replaces that in the 1.2 liter models, while the older D-Lite and Era will continue to be offered with the older 1.1 liter engine.
The i10 1.2 liter Kappa will also have an automatic transmission version - we have not seen a small car in India with automatic transmission in a long time now. The car will offer 80 PS (81 bhp), pretty good for a car this size. The Hyundai Kappa i10 1.2L will have a 0-100 kmph figure of 12.8 seconds and a top speed of around 165 kmph.
Pricing for the 1.2 liter Kappa versions of the i10 will be between Rs 3.89 lakhs and 5.43 lakh on-road in Mumbai.
