i10 would cost me around 60-70k extra as compared to wagon-r but m ready to spend extra because i like i10's looks and more power.
but if there is any problem with i10 cng then i might stick to wagon-r only.
Please reply....
Dear Ahuja,
yes, there is compatibility problem with CNG in i10, better stick to Wagon-R or Santro if you want company fitted CNG which performs well in the car. Out of this i own a Santro CNG which is without any complaints in CNG, but if you want more fuel efficiency and factory fitted one, then go for Wagon-R. Santro, i10 and Accent are company fitted not factory fitted,means, Hyundai retrofits CNG in their petrol models of Santro, i10 and Accent in their own authorised centres--but the car is originally made as a petrol one. Santro and Accent are successful in CNG, but i10 is not that much.
I've heard that Wagon-R has reduced the number of cylinders and made it even more fuel efficient in CNG, power and pick up would be little lesser compared to i10, but it is without any problems in CNG. Wagon-R CNG would give better fuel efficiency than Santro CNG.
I had this first hand feedback from several Hyundai workshops and CNG fitment centres that i10 has some problems with CNG.
if you like i10 much, then opt for petrol one, it is wonderful in petrol, even i was in your position when i opted for Santro CNG instead of i10 petrol, even now i would love to have an i10 petrol, its pick up and performance is very good. however, maintaining a petrol car is very difficult for me at this price now.
