Red Hyundai Grand i10 Nios hatchback

The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios specifications show why it feels a cut above budget hatchbacks. The 1.2 litre Kappa petrol makes 82 bhp and 113.8 Nm, with a five-speed manual or an AMT. The bi-fuel CNG version drops to 68 bhp, since gas is tuned for economy. All of it drives the front wheels smoothly.

Gearbox choice is kept simple and sensible. The plain manual is cheapest to buy, the AMT skips the clutch for traffic, and the CNG uses a manual only. Each suits a different kind of driver without over-complicating the range. You can see what the Nios costs on-road once a pairing appeals to you.

On economy, the petrol manual reads 18 kmpl and the AMT 16 kmpl on the ARAI test. The CNG version leads at 27 km/kg, which is where the big savings come from. Traffic and constant air conditioning pull these numbers lower day to day. High-mileage drivers recover the CNG premium fairly quickly through cheaper gas.

Dimensions keep the Nios easy to park and thread through traffic. It measures 3815 mm long on a 2450 mm wheelbase, with a 260 litre boot. Five sit in a well-finished cabin sized for city life. The light steering and tight turning circle make crowded lanes and U-turns simple to manage.

Feature and safety kit is strong for the class. Higher trims add a touchscreen, alloy wheels, a reverse camera and dual front airbags. Read the sheet together and the Nios looks like real value. To sort the range by fuel, see how far a Nios goes on petrol and on gas next.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios power and torque explained

The Grand i10 Nios gives you one 1.2 litre Kappa engine in two forms. One is the plain petrol, which makes 83 PS. The other is a bi-fuel unit that runs on petrol or factory CNG and makes 69 PS on gas.

The petrol is the stronger, more eager of the two and pulls harder as the revs rise. The CNG version gives up some of that push for much lower running cost, so it feels calmer than keen.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.2L Kappa Bi-fuel Petrol + CNG spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 1.2 petrol is the one to pick if you want a bit more in hand. It puts out 113.8 Nm at 4000 rpm and 83 PS higher up at 6000 rpm, with 2000 rpm between the two. It feels its best when you let it rev, so overtakes and loaded highway runs come easy. Choose it if you leave the city often or fill every seat. If that sounds like you, it is worth seeing everything else the Grand i10 Nios offers, from cabin space to safety kit.

On CNG, the same 1.2 peaks at 95.2 Nm at 4000 rpm and 69 PS at 6000 rpm. That is the same 2000 rpm spread as the petrol, just with less muscle behind it. It is a fair trade if most of your driving is city commuting, where the low fuel cost of gas adds up fast. Keep it in the mid-range and plan your overtakes a touch earlier, and it handles the daily run happily. It is the pick for high-mileage city drivers, and you can see how far a kilo of CNG takes you before you decide.
