  Engine

  998 cc, 3 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC

  Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.

  Engine Type

  K10C CNG

  The official title given by the manufacturer in terms of the name of the engine, the displacement and the number of cylinders.

  A bigger displacement and more than four-cylinders generally indicate a performance-oriented engine.

  Fuel Type

  CNG

  All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

  Max Power (bhp@rpm)

  56 bhp @ 5300 rpm

  Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.

  Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.

  Max Torque (Nm@rpm)

  82.1 Nm @ 3400 rpm

  Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.

  The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.

  Mileage (ARAI)

  32.73 kmpl

  This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)

  Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions

  Driving Range

  1800 Km

  Approximate maximum number of kilometers which can be traveled on a full tank of fuel or fully charged battery

  Drivetrain

  FWD

  Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.

  Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

  Transmission

  Manual - 5 Gears

  Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

  A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

  Emission Standard

  BS6 Phase 2

  Set by the Indian Government, this governs the amount of air pollutants released by cars to make the atmosphere safer for humans.

  Alternate Fuel

  Petrol

  Petrol cars can be fitted with CNG (compressed natural gas) kits or in some cases they come factory fitted as well. Then there are other systems like hybrid powertrain and electric motors which are expensive but have a much lower running cost.

  Maintaining a quarter tank of the primary fuel helps when you run out of the alternate fuel
