Fuel saving 1.2-litre Kappa engine by Hyundai
Hyundai has announced it has successfully developed new small engine which delivers class leading fuel economy and lowest CO2 output among engines of the same displacement. The new Kappa engine has been developed over a period of 48 months and will be first installed in Hyundai i10.
The new Kappa engine will also find its way into the upcoming Hyundai i20 due to be introduced at Paris Auto Show in October.
The Kappa engine adopts a number of weight and friction reducing innovations to achieve the best in class numbers in terms of power, torque and fuel consumption. While the new engine delivers fuel economy rating of 5.0L/100km (47 mpg), it also runs cleaner and achieves EURO–4 emissions compliancy. It produces 119g/km of Co2, which is far less than it’s main competitors coming from Fiat (Panda) and Renault (Twingo).
Kappa puts out 77.8ps at 6000rpm and best in class peak torque, which is rated at 12.0kg.m per 4000rpm. That should be enough power to ensure an outstanding acceleration and driving enjoyment in the small and light-weight i10 model. [Source: Hyundai]

Sir i have purchased I10 Kappa engine,sports model 05 months before.the performance of the car is good and excellent but the only 04 points i have noticed in this model car,they are as follows,
1) The color of the dash board top or entire to be changed to dark color because present light off-white color get reflected on front wind shield glass which really obstructs while driving.
2) Door can be opened while driving some time if the central locking as been done also and it is very dangerous when small children s are in rear seat.
3) Water bottle/book hold sleeves provided between the front seats is completely under size & if any bottle kept in that holder its very difficult to change the gears while driving since the play between the holder & gear is very less.
4) Mileage of the car as not soo better as they advertise, its only 16 kms in high way without AC.though it is kappa engine.
