As said earlier, Hyundai has reiterated its stand to launch diesel variant of i20 in 2009. Hyundai which currently sells i20 with a 1.2L kappa petrol engine in India may start selling i20 diesel by the end of 2009. In international markets i20 is offered with 1.4L and 1.6L diesel engines. To qualify for the small car excise norm, Indian i20 diesel is likely to get 1.4L engine. But Hyundai remains tight lipped. “We will launch the i-20 diesel for the domestic market this year. But we are yet to finalise the engine size,” said Mr Arvind Saxena, Senior Vice-President, Sales and Marketing, Hyundai Motor India said.
