sidindica · 1st July 2009, 18:47

I 20 crdi coming in asta and asta (o) models, with the (o) pack consisting of side and curtain airbags and sunroof (in addition to ABS and dual airbags standard on both models).

feature wise, it is identical to petrol asta varients.

Excellent..90 BHP, 22.4KGM torque at 1750, curtain airbags etc. - finally a REAL hot Premium hatch !

Wow nice info sidindica. :-)

iraghava · 1st July 2009, 19:50

So the Asta is going to be 7L on-road Delhi? Interesting.....

car_crazy1400 · 1st July 2009, 20:35

I'll just wait to test drive it first & then see if its worth its expected price of 7+ lacs in Delhi

Sunroof and side/curtain airbags? Wow! That's what I call loaded

Come on somebody please do a TD of this ASAP.

BTW any news of what variants are available on the petrol 1.4 (if one is being launched).

cvvikram · 1st July 2009, 22:15

Now this is really going to be exciting if they are going to release the top end version below or around 7L.

AbhiJ · 1st July 2009, 23:32

Fantastic news...

Hyundai is learning from its previous mistakes..

funda2max · 2nd July 2009, 11:38

Somewhere i read, it is 90PS than 80PS and 7.85 OTR in Mumbai? Hyundai shouldn't do a blunder this time with the pricing. When it comes to Bangalore, it will go heads on with Fiesta Diesel.

schitre05 · 2nd July 2009, 11:44

Wow! abs is standard on CRDi asta!
hmmm now things are getting interesting!
hope now then dont mess up the the pricing
Cmon GTO, this test drive would be quite interesting and then a side by side comparison test between Grande Punto MJD E+ & i20 CRDi Asta
wat say!

amit · 2nd July 2009, 11:58

The site says 7.5 L OTR Mumbai for Asta (O). Sounds good. That's about 50K more then Emotion Pack MJD Punto's OTR Mumbai prices. Hyundai can easily command a 50K premium over Fiat in India.

babhishek · 2nd July 2009, 14:15

this is going to be the hot hatch for the rest of the year - provided the engine has drivability and sportiness
