Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), will soon be setting up a greenfield plant in India. The company will be spending Rs. 400 crore for this very purpose. This plant will be utilised to build 1.5 lakh diesel engines. Though the plants' location is not finalised as of now,  the company will be looking at expanding its reach throughout the country.

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) organized the ‘Miles & Smiles Rally 2010’ for the i20 customers covering a distance of approximately 81 kms. The rally was flagged off from Hotel Crowne Plaza, New Friends Colony and culminated at the same point.

Hyundai Motors India Limited are nothing if not committed to the Indian market. In just over ten years, they’ve come a long way, from a brand that no one had heard of to the second-biggest player in the market. They’re particularly good at making small cars, but the i20 is the ‘big’ hatchback in their portfolio. HMIL has now given their customers more choice with a 90bhp diesel and a 100bhp petrol, both displacing 1.4 litres.

Hyundai launched the i20 with a 1.2-litre petrol engine last year. The precise reason for using the 1.2-litre was to get the duty cut. But the engine never did justice to the car in terms of performance.

Hyundai is ready to launch the diesel variant of its i20. The diesel variant of i20 looks similar to the petrol variant. The i20 diesel variant comes equipped with a 1.4-litre CRDI engine.

Hyundai will launch the diesel variant of its i20 by the end of this year. The company plans to launch two cars annually for the next couple of years.
