  New Engine For Hyundai i10 14 Jun 2008 (News)
  The efficiency of the new all-alloy unit means that power output has been improved by 18 percent to 77PS and torque rises from 98Nm to 118Nm – a massive 20 percent increase compared to the 1.1-litre. There is also significantly improved in-gear driving flexibility and more relaxed cruising. As a result the top speed rises from 94 to 102mph and the benchmark 0-62mph sprint drops by nearly three seconds to 12.8 seconds. Despite this the CO2 emissions and combined fuel consumption are identical to the smaller 1.1-litre engine at 119g/km and 56.5mpg.
