Santro:

Prices of the Santro have increased by Rs 22,000 to Rs 27,000 depending on the variant. Interestingly, prices of the Sportz special edition and the CNG variants remain unchanged. The Santro is offered with a BS6-compliant 1.1-litre petrol engine that’s expected to develop 69PS of power and 99Nm of torque. It’s offered with a 5-speed manual and AMT option. Meanwhile, the CNG variants develop 59PS/84Nm and are offered with a manual gearbox only. 

Grand i10:

The Hyundai Grand i10 has received a standard price hike of Rs 7,000 across all variants. It utilises the same BS6-compliant 1.2-litre Kappa motor that’s found in the Hyundai Aura and Grand i10 Nios. The Kappa motor in its petrol-only form can develop 83PS and 114Nm, while CNG variants may put out 68PS and 98Nm. All variants of the Grand i10 come with a manual gearbox only. 

Elite i20:

Just like the Grand i10, the Elite i20 has received a standard price hike of Rs 7,000. However, it is not a BS6 upgrade yet. However, it will get the upgrade soon. The 1.4-litre CRDI engine won’t be upgraded to meet BS6 norms and will be axed eventually. The BS6-compliant 1.2-litre unit is expected to develop an identical 83PS and 114Nm. It’ll be available with a 5-speed manual and a CVT.  

Meanwhile, Hyundai India has rolled out its three millionth made-in-India car from its Sriperumbudur plant in Chennai. The special vehicle is the Aura, also known as the Grand i10 Aura in select markets.
