India’s largest car exporter Hyundai launches the i10 Kappa which has a more powerful engine without compromising on the mileage. The in-line, four-cylinder, 1.2 lt engine will deliver greater operating efficiency in terms of fuel consumption and emissions. This engine delivers all time low NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) levels keeping the environment clean and safe.

The Kappa will come in three variants – Asta, Sportz and Magna with all top-end features like the sunroof, 2-Din audio system, a unique red pack for the Sportz interiors and some class leading safety features like anti-lock braking system (ABS) and dual airbags. The new kappa i10 will be sold along with the existing Epsilon 1.1 litre engine variant and will be available in a range of 10 colours.

Kappa has been developed over a period of 48 months and at a cost of $421 million and Hyundai will raise the bar in terms of power, performance, fuel efficiency and environment safety with this car.

Announcing the launch Mr. H S Lheem, Managing Director, HMIL, said, “Efficiencies in fuel consumption and environment are the prerogatives for any automobile manufacturer. And Hyundai, as a conscientious global corporate citizen, prioritises these with continuous innovation in technology and design. Our new Kappa engine is the best in class today, with more power, less fuel consumption and a lower CO2 and overall emissions. The current 1.1L engine has proved to be one of the very successful engines for Hyundai and it will continue to power both the Santro and the i10 but the new Kappa engine will significantly raise the bar in this segment and redefine the expectation from this class of cars”.
