It is the first time that Hyundai has introduced a diesel automatic with the Grand i10 Nios. The engine deliveries an immense 26.2 kmpl of mileage for both petrol and diesel engines. Ford Figo engine is the most powerful of the lot but it lacks the efficiency of whoever is eyeing their choice on diesel cars.
Also on the news is that Hyundai will continue with their smaller capacity diesel engine and we can expect the BS6 oil burner before the emission norms take place which is April 2020. The prices for the same will be increased.

In other news, Hyundai will discontinue their 1.4L and 1.6L diesel engines in order to bring the new 1.5L diesel engine. The latter will port on Hyundai Creta and Verna. The 1.5L engine is the same from the Kia Seltos but can see different power outputs.
With this step, the company will be saving huge development costs by sourcing the engine from Kia and moreover, they will also benefit from lower taxes and duties as diesel engines with capacities of under 1500cc enjoy a lower tax structure in India.
