Hyundai India officially confirmed that turbo petrol engines will remain exclusive to models up and above the Venue.

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.

Hyundai offer the Exter with 2 powertrain options — 1.2L normal petrol and 1.2L petrol-CNG. Take a look at the power and torque figures of both the engine options.
