Sometime back they boasted about something called 'Erlx'. |
I went to the showroom today to check out the i10Kappa, the test drive car wasnt registered, so I decided to take a drive later tomorrow after the RTO completes his job.
The Sales Consultant informed me that the cars engine is special because of the following technicalities:
1.16V DOHC
2. Silent type timing chain instead of conventional (he said it is a wet type with constant lubrication)
3. All aluminium block which is made of high pressure casting
4. Hydraulic lash adjuster
5. Long reach spark plugs
6. Stretch type belts which will never give "morning sickness" due to less tension
7. Euro 4 & 5 ready engine
8. Compession ratio of 10.5:1 (swift btw is 9:1)
9. Knock sensor
10. The power to weight ratio is 92.5 (ps/ton) (swift is 88.2)
Can any one update us whether there is any other car in this segment which is so advanced as the kappa.
Then we can ascertain whether Hyundai is boasting or not.
ERLX... i have also heard of that. I have heard of PSPO from some fan co. too... I dont think any one knows what is PSPO!! I think these are just marketing gimmicks! ... and I think both PSPO & ERLX have clicked
