Ravishing Cars |

The gearbox is light, the throw accurate and the clutch light, all this makes the i10 an ideal city companion. The additional power is a boon on highways, all you need is to shove the car into a lower gear and floor the accelerator to get an instant burst of power to help you move ahead of the slow moving truck up front. But the difference between the 1.2 and the 1.1 engines is less visible in the city. That’s because the smaller 1.1 litre unit offers good response from low speeds. Overall, the Kappa engine feels a step ahead and more refined than the 1.1 litre engine. And the Kappa’s trump card is expected to be fuel efficiency that could be the best in its class. Hyundai has also decided to offer an automatic gearbox on the car now. It’s not a new one and is carried over from the Santro. The Santro does come with an automatic gearbox, but it is available only on special order.
