Hyundai to introduce 1.1 litre diesel i10
PremiumMumbai: The country’s third largest car maker Hyundai Motor India Ltd is looking to build a diesel engine plant in the country. The auto maker has got an in-principle approval from its parent in South Korea, people familiar with the development said.
The company is likely to introduce a diesel variant of its i10 hatchback model in the next eight-12 months and likely to import the engine to start with and eventually look at localizing the 1.1-litre diesel engine, the people said.
It also plans to localize the 1.4-litre diesel engine for i20 model, which is currently being imported. Localization of these engines is likely to bring down the cost of the cars by almost 15-20% .
