ENGINE AND PERFORMANCE
Higher Efficiency And Cleaner Emissions
The engine is the heart of the car and having a great engine is essential for
making a great car. Over the past two decades, Hyundai has been pioneering cutting
edge powertrain and transmission technologies in India .With the current range offering
in India, it is one of the leading engine manufacturers.
Since good performance characteristics remain of prime importance. Hyundai
is trying to strike the perfect balance between power and efficiency with special
consideration to the environment. We are committed to working toward better
performance, higher efficiency and cleaner emissions.
TURBO PETROL ENGINE
Hyundai Motor recently launched its fuel economy-focused three-cylinder
turbocharged petrol direct injected (T-GDI) engine across the whole i20 range.
A turbocharger with an electronically-controlled waste-gate actuator improves
its fuel efficiency by lowering pumping losses as well as improving throttle response and
low-end torque. The unit features a six-hole GDI injector, pressured to a higher-than-
average 200 bar, securing a clean combustion and improving fuel economy and
emissions to fulfil Euro 6 emission standards (average CO2 emissions to 95g/km), well
ahead of their introduction in 2017.
It started with the Hyundai Venue that was launched last year and continues
with turbo-petrol variants being offered in the Aura, the Grand i10 Nios, the Creta and
now the Verna.
AURA TURBO
A 1-litre turbo petrol engine in a sub four-metre compact sedan . Now this isn’t
the first time that Hyundai’ s 1-litre turbo petrol engine has made it to a car on our
shores.
The engine is comfortable over a wide range of speeds, right from around the
1500rpm mark to the redline. It does have a sporty growl, but over 5000rpm it becomes
hoarse. There is not much in the form of turbo lag and you can barely perceive it around
the 1800rpm mark when it kicks in. The engine is rev happy and builds up speeds in a
progressive, linear manner.
CRETA
The new Creta at the auto expo, Hyundai offered us the opportunity of a peek
behind the curtain to witness it being made from scratch at the plant outside Chennai.
The Chennai facility at Sriperumbudur is an integrated unit where all of
Hyundai India’s cars are made and it produces more than 700,000 units every year.
Hyundai has its order books full and the Creta is rolling out in large numbers ahead of
an expected launch later this month. Is among the cars most in demand and it shows.
Scores of cars roll out of the plant every single day.
ADVANTAGE OF TURBO PETROL ENGINE
A turbo engine has several advantages compared to a regular engine,
improving the volumetric efficiency and reducing emissions.
1.0 litre T-GDi petrol engine
1.0 Turbo GDi petrol engine offers optimum fuel efficiency and performance. With a
maximum power of 120 ps at 6 000 rpm and a torque output of 17.5 kgm, all-new i20
1.0 Turbo GDi petrol engine is no slouch
1.2 liter MPI petrol engine
With 1197 cc of engine displacement and 4 cylinders, our 84 PS entry engine is a gentle
force to be reckoned with. Coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission, this power unit
offers both full control and pleasant torque delivery.
KAPPA TURBO PETROL ENGINE
The new generation Kappa 1.0 litre unit comes in two versions: the
standard-power 100 PS version being tuned for best fuel efficiency, while the 120 PS
high-power version balances more spirited driving characteristics with the need to
remain economical and efficient.
The Kappa 1.0 litre’s exhaust manifold is integrated within the cylinder head and can
therefore be cooled efficiently using its cylinder head water cooling system. These
design features result in faster warm-up of the catalyst and ultimately in improved real-
world fuel consumption and emissions.
1.2 Kappa petrol engine
1.2 Kappa petrol engine offers optimum fuel efficiency and performance. With a
maximum power of 88 ps at 6 000 rpm and a torque output of 11.7 kgm, all-new i20
1.2L Kappa petrol engine is no slouch
1.4 l Kappa Turbo Petrol Engine
Built with latest technology 1.4 l Kappa Turbo Petrol engine generates power of 140 ps
at 6 000 rpm and 24.7 kg·m torque at 1 500 ~ 3 200 rpm.
DIESEL ENGINE
The fuel economy of Hyundai diesel engines (especially with the 48 V mild hybrid
option) means they are a good choice for you if you drive a high annual mileage or
cover a lot of miles on the motorway.
This engine continues to power only the i20, and while the Venue gets an engine
upgrade, the i20 diesel will face the axe and soon be petrol only. Using the same 115hp
engine on the Venue would make sense as it will help with greater economies of scale
as almost every other Hyundai-Kia model in their India line-up is powered by this motor.
Advantages of Diesel Engines
Diesel Fuel Economy.
Diesel Engines Require Less Maintenance
Diesel Powers High Torque.
Diesel Engines Have a Long Lifespan.
Cummins Delivers Powerful, Dependable, Responsible Diesel.
R 2.0 l diesel engine
1.5 l U2 CRDi Diesel Engine (BS6)
The 1.5 l BS6 compliant Diesel engine is extremely robust and delivers 115 ps at 4 000
rpm while peak torque measures 25.5 kg.m at 1 500 – 2 750 rpm.
CNG RANGE
The Aura CNG model is only offered in a single variant. It is offered in the ’S’
variant positioned just above the base ‘E’ variant.
The Aura CNG is powered by Hyundai’s 1,179cc, 3-cylinder petrol engine which has
been tuned to run on CNG. The CNG variant of the engine develops 68hp and 95Nm of
torque. The engine offers lower performance than its standard trim as the petrol-only
version of the Aura offers 82hp and 113Nm of torque. While the standard petrol model
is also offered with a 5-speed AMT option, the CNG variant of the Aura is available with
a 5-speed manual only.
The Aura CNG does not get the 5.3-inch digital speedometer with MID from its higher-
spec trims, the Aura CNG uses analogue dials instead.
ADVANTAGES OF CNG
Environment Friendly:
One of the most significant advantages of CNG cars is that they are
more environment friendly than petrol and diesel powered cars. CNG is a
cleaner-burning fuel, emitting significantly fewer pollutants and greenhouse
gases into the atmosphere.
Cost-Effective:
CNG is a cheaper fuel than petrol, making CNG cars more cost-
effective to run. This is because the production of CNG is less expensive than
petrol and CNG is taxed at a lower rate.
Lower Maintenance :
CNG cars offer lower maintenance cost than petrol-powered cars. This
is because CNG burns more cleanly than petrol, reducing wear and tear on
engine components and motor oil will be less contaminated by the fuel. This
leads to lower repair costs over the lifetime of the vehicle.
Switching Option:
You always have the option to switch to petrol power in case you run
out of CNG.
1.2 l Bi-fuel (Petrol with CNG)
The 1.2 l Bi-fuel (Petrol with CNG) engine is capable of a Max. power 50.5 kW (69 PS)
@ 6 000 r/min and Max. torque 95.2 Nm (9.7 kgm) @ 4 000 r/min.

Social Responsibility (CSR) activities of Hyundai Motor India Limited in a sustainable manner. The
projects of HMIF are aligned to the vision of progress for humanity and the three communication areas –
Earth, Mobility and Hope.
Art for Hope
Art for Hope was conceptualised to promote art as an agent of change that
inspires positivity, happiness and documents the journey of ‘Progress for Humanity’.
The program is a unique initiative to recognise artists from various domains who are
undiscovered, need support to carry on their art form and need a larger platform.
Shortlisted artists are presented with an opportunity to exchange ideas along with
executing art projects. The winners’ art pieces and performances are then displayed for
community viewing across India, which stand as a testament to India’s rich and storied
heritage of arts, craft and culture. The ‘Art for Hope’ programme has a panel of expert
jurors from different art domains who act as mentors to the winners.
Miriam Koshy, Vishal Rawley and Tallulah D’ Silva
Artists, Panjim, Goa
Miriam Koshy, Vishal Rawley and Tallulah are artists from Goa – home to 12 unique
mangrove forests in India that have been selected for conservation by the Mangrove
Society of India. They believe that as unparalleled as scientific contributions are,
science alone cannot sway hearts and minds. They believe that humans are touched by
stories, poetry, art and music and that’s why they retell their personal experiences of
rapidly changing climate that needs our immediate attention.
The mangroves are a beautiful ecosystem and make for an accessible repository to
study the symbiotic relationship shared by specific species of birds (both local and
migratory), butterflies and a host of aquatic species in their natural habitat, the only
place they can call home.
Through their project ‘Aamche Mangrove’, the three artists want to address
environmental generational amnesia by involving younger generations. They want to
create a space for conversations around the Mangrove ecosystem and engage those
whose livelihood depends upon the health of the ecosystem.
The Art for hope grant was used to nurture Project Aamche Mangrove, urging people to
take positive action for the preservation of mangroves along the Pandim-Bambolim
highway.
Chanan Khan Mangniyar
Surmandal player, Kanoi, Rajasthan
Surmandal player Chananji Khan, aged 69, was born in Kanoi, Rajasthan in 1952. Situated about
35 kilometres from Jaisalmer, his family belonging to the Manganiyar community has lived in the same
district for generations. His instrument of choice, the Surmandal, is a 100-year-old 36-strings lap harp and
has been a part of Chananji's family and legacy. For decades Surmandal has been Chananji’s bread and
butter. Over the years, however, the number of Surmandal listeners dwindled. Today, Chananji Khan is the
only Surmandal-playing Manganiyar in a community of over 25,000 persons.
Chananji and his sons are doing all they can to keep the Surmandal alive. People from distant villages
come to him to learn Surmandal but lack of funds and absence of a reliable infrastructure made it almost
impossible to continue.
With Art for hope, Chananji is building a small community hall with some instruments. Over here he will
nurture the community dedicated to the Surmandal. He is relieved that the sound of Surmandal will
continue to echo for years to come.
CONCLUSION
The automotive industry has faced major trend changes in the concentration of
the market. It has shifted from a domestic market to a monopolistic to a global market
to a perfectly competitive market scenario. All these changes were accompanied by
growth and development of the industry and overall economy as well. India has
finally emerged as a world class entity in the global market for automobiles and has
made its presence felt by the other nations. The future of Indian Auto Industry
is bright as more and more companies are getting attracted towards the Indian Market
and are setting up their manufacturing units in India.
