Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Vs Exter - Normal Petrol Engine Spec Comparison (Expected)

Hyundai have confirmed that the Exter will get the 1.2L normal petrol engine, which also does duty under the hood of the Grand i10 Nios.

Hyundai Exter Vs Grand i10 Nios - CNG Bi-Fuel Engine Spec Comparison (Expected)

Besides the normal petrol-manual and automatic powertrains, Hyundai also confirmed that the Exter will get the CNG bi-fuel option with a manual transmission. While the specs aren’t out yet, we expect its performance figures to align with those of the Nios CNG. So, it could make 69PS of power and 95Nm of torque while claiming to deliver mileage of around 26kmpkg when running on CNG. The Grand i10 Nios CNG promises a mileage of 27.3kmpkg. In terms of drivability, because of a smaller body size, the Nios CNG may offer a slightly better drivability.
