Hyundai Grand i10 and Xcent now available in CNG variants

With the onset of the festive season, Hyundai India has introduced CNG kits for the Grand i10 and the Xcent. Hyundai calls it Dual ECU Dynamic Sequential Technology (DEDST). The Korean car maker has installed separate injectors that smoother flow of gas thereby reducing lag. This system also has the option to switch to petrol once the car runs out of gas.

Under the hood, the Grand i10 and the Xcent will continue to sport the same 1.2-litre Kappa 2 engine but in a retuned state. Both these cars now make peak power of 70 horses and max torque of 100Nm. Both these cars will continue to be mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Needless to say, the reduction in power and torque has resulted in a bump in the efficiency. Hyundai claims an efficiency of 24km/kg for the Grand i10.

The Grand i10 and the Xcent CNG will be available in any variant at an additional cost of Rs 68,000. The Grand i10 CNG will start at Rs 5.37 lakh and go right up to Rs 7 lakh. The Xcent CNG on the other hand will range between 5.86 lakh – Rs 8.34 lakh. Now that Hyundai is officially giving the CNG kits, they will also keep the warranty of the car intact.
