The Hyundai i10 has surpassed the 20 lakh units sales milestone globally. The total sales of the model are reported to stand at 20.1 lakh units out of which India alone accounts for almost 18.9 lakh units.

The Hyundai i10 is available in both petrol and diesel engine options. A 1.2-litre Kappa petrol motor and a 1.1-litre U2 CRDI diesel motor does duty under the Hyundai i10 to churn out 83PS of power and 99Nm torque and 71PS of power and 160Nm of torque respectively.

Hyundai exports the i10 to LHD and RHD markets across the world. The carmaker has also began shipping the Hyundai Xcent from late last year.
