Check this link in the Hindu Online about the Hyundai Kappa.
The Hindu : Metro Plus Chennai / Wheels : Hyundai's trump card
I quote some parts here

In city driving, the Kappa didn't feel substantially quicker than the Epsilon i10 which develops its torque and power much lower down the power band
|
hmm..not very different from what our members have experienced as well, right. For pure city driving, the epsilon may score.

Besides, the Epsilon's legendary pulling power in third gear is something the Kappa cannot easily beat. However, as an overall package, the Kappa is far better. The engine feels smoother and quieter and has a spring in its step the Epsilon did not. The Kappa's trump card is expected to be fuel efficiency and it could be the class best. |
The statement on FE again. I guess, we will know better once we start getting some long term reviews.

The surprise package however is the automatic i10. The automatic i10 Magna though expensive is decent value but it remains to be seen how thirsty it is in comparison to the manual.
|
I guess we are not expecting more than 10-11 km per litre

With this iteration, the i10 moves further away from its rivals and into a class of its own. Expect this Hyundai to become a best-seller

Indeed, the kappa will wean away some customers from swift as well showing an 'upgrade' path to the wagon R/estilo crowd. Smart positioning!
