Seems like Hyundai will go the value route when compared to the direct price competition route. So more features it is
AMT will be the go-to gearbox for these products and maybe even the next version of i20.
New turbo petrol power plants on the way too. Quote:

I've slightly a different theory.
As the Kwid's new boy tag fades even the sales numbers are showing the real picture. What the customer looks for in that segment is the value proposition.
And Tiago is the black horse in that segment. Tata Motors has learned and reinvented itself in that segment. And that's whom Hyundai should try to emulate.
