Is Hyundai making a mistake not offering a diesel option for the Ai3?
Earlier, Hyundai confirmed that the upcoming Ai3 micro-SUV will not be offered with a diesel engine, and will be available only with petrol engines. At a time when diesel prices in India are often lower than petrol, and many buyers still prefer diesel engines for their superior fuel efficiency and torque, this decision makes sense. But smaller cars have become more expensive to produce because of stricter emission norms. It seems like Hyundai is betting on the rising trend of petrol and electrification in India. But is that the right call for a car that could be used for long distance travel or by those who have to watch the pennies? Will the lack of a diesel option put a limit on the Ai3's appeal in rural markets or with high mileage users? Or is Hyundai actually ahead of the curve with its move away from diesel in this segment?
Diesel is dying anyway. Hyundai smart is petrol and maybe a hybrid or EV version later.
