The carmaker offered a 1.0L turbo petrol engine for a brief time with the Grand i10 Nios hatchback and Aura sedan. However, the turbo petrol variants of both the models didn’t receive a good response from the market and with the launch of the respective models’ facelifts, Hyundai discontinued the turbo petrol engine from their lineup. Currently, only cars like the i20 hatchback and Venue B2-SUV and above offer turbo petrol engine options in the brand’s portfolio.
