Powertrains
Moving on to the business end of the story, there’s a wide range of powertrain options for the Indian market as we saw in the list above. The 1.2-litre 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated Kappa petrol engine develops 61 kW (83 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque at 4,200 rpm, when paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. When paired with a CVT (branded as IVT), the power jumps to 65 kW (88 hp).
There’s also a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine on offer, the same one that powers the Venue, Verna and Sonet. The output figures here are 88 kW (120 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 172 Nm (127 lb-ft) of torque between 1,500-4,000 rpm. This engine can be paired with either a 7-speed DCT or a clutch pedal-less iMT gearbox.
For those who want a diesel grunt, Hyundai will, of course, offer a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged U2 motor that develops 74 kW (100 hp) at 4,000 rpm and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) of torque between 1,500-2,750 rpm. The diesel engine is paired with a traditional 6-speed manual gearbox.
