Hyundai Grand i10 Nios: Powertrain Options, Features

The Grand i10 Nios is available in two fuel options: petrol and a CNG bi-fuel version that comes with a factory-fitted CNG kit, offering greater range and better fuel efficiency compared to the petrol-only variant. Powering the car is a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine, capable of delivering up to 82bhp and 114Nm of torque.

In the CNG mode, however, output drops to 68bhp and 95.2Nm. Unlike single-cylinder setups, the bi-fuel model features twin-cylinder tanks with an integrated electronic control unit (ECU), allowing for smooth switching between petrol and CNG.

The petrol version is offered with both a five-speed manual and a five-speed automatic transmission, while the bi-fuel model is paired exclusively with a five-speed manual gearbox.

For added comfort and convenience, the model includes a multi-information display (MID), tilt steering, a 3.5-inch speedometer with a TPMS display, wireless phone charging, footwell lighting, a Type C fast USB charger, fully automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen audio system with smartphone navigation. The cabin also features premium touches like a leather-wrapped steering wheel, grey upholstery with Nios embossing and piping, a smart key with push-button start/stop, and metal-finished inside door handles.
