Atleast this part is true. Kappa range also includes a 1.4 Petrol for i20.
Also a lot of people are missing a few things while calling i10 a HOT hatch.
Putting in a larger engine in a small car does not necessarily make it a HOT hatch! It has also to do with engine
nature.
A Yezdi has a 250 cc engine, the SRV has a big engine, Palio had a 1.2, Aveo has a 1.6 yet we don't call these cars/bikes performance oriented. I am sure if Hyundai wanted it could tune the 1.2 kappa for greater performance and lesser mileage. But 1.2 is just the NEXT chapter of epsilon (Santro) range of engines
