Grand i10 Nios Engines

The i10 Grand Nios is available in petrol as well as diesel variants. This car will get a 1.2 litre petrol BS6 engine and the 1.2 litre CRDi diesel engine. These engines produce good numbers on paper. The petrol engine definitely feels more refined and calm in nature. When compared with the engine on the Maruti Swift it feels less peppy and seems to lack fun. The diesel engine isnt that peppy but what it does have is a good torque. This give the car good overtaking power in almost any gear. The engine noise is slightly more in the diesel but that is not an annoyance unless you build up the revs.

Grand i10 Nios Transmission

The transmission on this car is an eAMT gearbox. It slots the shifts more smoothly and has a slick feel to it. The gearbox is greatly useful while creeping in traffic. The clutch is managed well and the automated Manual gearbox is one of its kind in the segment. This gearbox is expected to appear in Hyundai’s other variants. There is no sporty nature in the engine but the gearbox feels sporty. The AMT gives effortless cruising which is a boon while driving the car in any condition. This AMT gearbox really takes off the effort that is part of driving a manual without compromising on the smoothness of driving. The transmission is a key point why one should buy this car over other AMTs in the market.
