The i10 will power a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine. It is a new engine that features a line of innovations such as an electric valve timing system, two cylinders for syringes, exhaust gas cycle and more to generate fuel consumption and lower pollutant emissions than before. The power is 84 kW and the torque figure is 12 kg. These are lower than those of the outgoing 1.25-liter engine, but performance has been improved. The 100 km / h acceleration takes 12.6 seconds in the manual version and 15.8 with the robotic box.
The four-generation planetary gearbox which was four-speed, replaces one single-clutch robotic one. According to Hyundai, unlike similar single-clutch hydraulic clutches, here the combination is done with three electric motors, this change should refine the unpleasant transmission that such boxes usually create.
Both engine and gearbox improvements should also improve fuel economy, which the manufacturer says is 25 percent better than outgoing generation.

All of these come as standard at all finish levels.
