It only means no new ICE engine will be developed, current crop will continue to soldier on for as long as demand exists and tinkering is possible for upcoming emission norms.

With the entire world committing to EV future, Hyundai or for that matter any manufacturer worth its salt cannot go against the flow and stick out like a sore thumb. Even the biggest engine manufacturer in the world, HONDA, had to suck up and give in to EV cause; when the other big japanese conglomerate, Toyota, made a u-turn and joined the EV bandwagon.

1.2L CRDi BS6 is 4 Cylinder. Like all 4 Cylinder Hyundai diesels, it is very reliable if you take good care of it. By good care, oil and filter change every 7 to 10k kms.

If buying pre-owned, avoid the 1.2L 3 Cylinder diesels in grand i10 and its sedan avatar. It was a hack job from Hyundai to derive a 1.2L by down sizing the 1.4L 4 cylinder. That engine is not reliable at all

I remember reading Hyundai did not build its own engine until 1991, They have licensed to produce cars and engines of Ford and Mitsubishi. Then they supplied their own engines to Mitsubishi and worked with Mercedes for some engines.

It is an ambitions and tremendous Turnaround. (This article itself written in 2008)

Thanks for your reply. I read the hyundai nios and aura come with a 1.2 L UCRDI BS6 3 cylinder engine. I was asking specifically about these 2 cars in diesel. Should one stay away from these 3 cylinder diesel engine cars? If so, why?

Also, the DPF regeneration issue in BS6 engines. How frequent is the issue and what needs to be done whenever the DPF warning shows up?

I have a Creta with the 1.5 diesel, and haven't encountered this in the last 13000 km plus running. Make sure you run the car on a short 30 min drive between 2000-4000 RPM at speeds of say 60-70 kph , from time to time. That should resolve any potential DPF clogging issues.

Where did you read that the 1.2 U2 CDRi BS6 is a 3 Cylinder diesel?

Regarding the old 3 cylinder CRDi, it is not that robust and has reliability issues. Hence stay away from it. I am referring to this specific 3 cylinder engine and not any 3 Cylinder engine.

I had seen a review of hyundai nios turbo petrol and diesel on youtube by either autocar or carwale, I can't remember correctly. In that review video which is about 2 years old, the specs was mentioned as 3 cylinder diesel engine. Did the nios initially when it was launched, come with the old i10's 3 cylinder crdi engine?

As of today, even on hyundai's official website nothing is mentioned about the no.of cylinders in the U2 CRDi engine. Its just mentioned as 1.2 litres 'ecotorq'. I hope the previous i10 diesel engine is different from the current generation u2 crdi.

Thanks for your inputs.

All Hyundai 1.2L Diesel engines are 3-cyls derived from 1.5 and 1.6L units. Refer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_U_engine

The carwale website mentions the following for hyundai nios 1.2 U2 CRDi engine:

1186 cc, 3 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC

OK. My bad then. I got confused. Since the car initially came with 1.1L CRDi and later they updated it to 1.2L CRDi, i thought, it is a newer 4 Cylinder unit.

The earlier 1.1L CRDi was a troublesome unit. I am not sure on the newer 1.2L CRDi unit.

I believe you are referring to the VM motori 1.5l 3 pot in the Accent CRDi?

True, though a strong performer (NVH was horrible), it aged badly. Especially after the 80k-100k km mark.

Edit: Sorry, just now saw the above post.
