The Hyundai i10 has taken off from where the Santro left. The new car is also on the same lines of the Santro in terms of being a sensible, comfy and cost efficient family car. The results are certainly in favour of the i10 and have proved that i10 has all the right ingredients and could well go on to become a force to reckon with in the small car segment.

The Hyundai i10 has taken off from where the Santro left. The new car is also on the same lines of the Santro in terms of being a sensible, comfy and cost efficient family car. The results are certainly in favour of the i10 and have proved that i10 has all the right ingredients and could well go on to become a force to reckon with in the small car segment. Hyundai does not want to rest on its past laurels and is looking to take the mantle higher with launch of a next generation engine for the Hyundai i10.
The six headed grille for the new Hyundai certainly gives in that extra dash to the car and makes the car look much more daring than ever before. The huge air dam with honeycomb grille resemblance gives the car a racy look. The fog lights are livelier along with the bigger head lights. This time Hyundai has left no stone unturned to make sure the car lives up to its reputation.
On the sides, the OVRM’s have built in indicators and body side moulding. The rear bumpers too gets a body coloured rub strip. The renewed bumper also houses reflectors and parking sensors. The tail-lamps are more appearing with the overall length of the car increased by 20mm.
On the inside, the car has under gone some tiny changes. The driver can now adjust the seat. The finish of the seats is also more rich and attractive. The rear view mirrors have gone automatic, it has mp3 music capabilities, USB or iPod connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity is also added to the equipment list. The comfort factor is further enhanced by the inclusion of steering wheel-mounted controls for calls and your music system.
The dashboard has a blue backlight and gives a high tech look when looked at night. The dashboard has also undergone a colour change. The windscreen gets darker reducing the light disturbance and keeps the temperature under control even while driving during the daytime.
On the makeup of the car, the new Hyundai gets a 1.1-litre iRDE engine. These engines also get a special coating on the piston and rings for reduced friction. The intake and exhaust valve diameter has been increased along with an increase in lift for better breathing. This invariably leads to better power delivery of up to 68bhp. The car also notches a higher torque from the current levels of 4000rpm and the kappa engine seems to be the direction ahead for the upcoming cars of Hyundai as well.
The i10 Kappa2 gets the distinction of becoming the first car in its segment to use variable valve timing. This is easily noticeable in the city streets or during short power bursts. The quality of the engine surely moves up a notch higher. The kappa engine is surely more refined and easy to handle and the car is less vocal about the throttle and easily hits the 6000rpm red line. The Kappa2 has spreads its power more evenly compared to the earlier version which only realized its potential at higher speeds.
