They’ve gone! Hyundai Motors India has discontinued the diesel variants of Grand i10 Nios and Aura due to poor demand. Bookings for the same have also been stopped. However, interested customers can still contact their nearest Hyundai dealerships if they have any stock to clear and avail some dealer-specific benefits.
For those who aren’t aware, the 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder, diesel engine of the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Aura developed 75PS and 190Nm. It was offered with both a 5-speed manual and AMT automatic transmission and was known for its frugal nature, delivering a claimed mileage of over 25kmpl.
