Hyundai Motor India Ltd. has achieved two new milestones leaving the competition behind. Hyundai i10 the best-selling model in Hyundai’s range of cars has emerged as the top seller in the ‘over 1 litre of capacity’ segment. The BS IV compliant car powered by a 1.2 litre Kappa engine under test conditions has achieved a mileage of 19.81 km to a litre of petrol. This is the best in class ARAI-certified fuel efficiency, among petrol cars in compact segment in India. The high fuel efficiency coupled with environment friendliness makes Hyundai i10 an affordable transportation solution with a low carbon footprint for customers in India. The fuel efficiency and comfort of i10 also makes it the top selling car in the ‘over 1 litre of capacity’ segment. During the financial year 2009 -10, Hyundai i10 sold 149,242 units in the domestic market thus breaking all previous records and becoming the highest selling car in the ‘over 1 litre of capacity’ segment. Commenting on this, Arvind Saxena, Director, Marketing and Sales, HMIL, said, “The extraordinary fuel-efficiency of Hyundai i10, best among the petrol cars in its segment emphasizes Hyundai’s overall technology leadership in making highly fuel-efficient cars. We hope that the best-in-class mileage of i10 will enable us to increase our market share by reaching out to a larger customer base. We are also glad that i10 continues to be No.1 in its segment. This reflects the confidence customers place in our brandsâ€. Right from the time when i10 made its world debut in India, it has witnessed a huge demand both from the overseas as well as the domestic market. Ever since the i10 was introduced with the power-packed and highly fuel efficient Kappa engine, it went on to become the best seller in its segment.
