The government plans to introduce RDE emission tests on April 1, 2023 along with the introduction of BS6 Phase-II emission norms. The latest emission regulations are stricter than the current BS6 emission norms. RDE emission norms require a vehicle to emit less than a certain amount of CO2 emission in realistic driving situations. The BS6 norms, on the other hand, are tested in laboratory conditions.
Furthermore, the petrol engines of the Grand i10 Nios are also E20 fuel-ready. Currently, fuel stations in the country offer E10 fuel, which consists of 90% regular unleaded petrol and 10% ethanol. By 2025, the Indian government plans to introduce E20 fuel, which will increase the amount of ethanol to 20%. While the supply of E20 fuel is a couple of years away, as per Hyundai, the Grand i10 Nios is ready to run E20 fuel from the factory. The arch rival of the Grand i10 Nios — Maruti Suzuki Swift – will become E20-compliant by March 2023.
