Agreed, it has more power than WagonR or Santro. But if they price close to Kappa, then I just feel Kappa has a definite edge with 79bhp. Plus the beige interiors to satisfy the beige crazy public.

Also, the WagonR and Santro weigh around 800 kgs, give or take. How will a 1.0L engine perform on a 900kg car? I hear people complaining with Swift P's 1.3 engine. Low torque etc. Swift engine produces around 87bhp peak and the vehicle weighs around 1050kg. This is my main concern.
