Under the bonnet, expect Hyundai to use the same 1.2-litre petrol and diesel motors. The petrol motor has 83 hp on offer while the oil burner offers 75 hp. Both these engines are paired with 5-speed manual gearboxes, however, the biggest change over here could be the introduction of an AMT gearbox. The petrol engine currently comes paired with a 4-speed torque converter which is rather good but with the torque converter, the cost of the car gets much higher. With an AMT gearbox, Hyundai will be available price the automatic variants of the car very competitively. Expect this new generation Grand i10 to be launched after the upcoming Kona, all-electric SUV, before the end of this year.
