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.

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

And we all know that Hyundai's slightly bigger engines promise more on paper than they actually perform on the road starting from Accent's 1.5,1.6 and now Verna's 1.6

I hope the Kappa series are better on the road
