The world of hatchbacks in the Indian automobile industry faced a revolution as more companies have started launching new variants. There have been so many launches that hatchback lovers have become spoilt for choice when it comes to select an option. As a matter of fact, a number of new manufacturers have made their foray in the segment of hatchbacks. Among these, the most popular are Nissan Micra, Honda Brio and Hyundai Grand i10.
When it comes to engine specifications, the three cars are more or less comparative. Honda Brio is powered by a 1198 cc 16 V engine, which generates a power of 86.8 bhp at the rate of 6000 rpm. Hyundai Grand i10 is powered by a 1120 cc, 12 V engine that churns out a 70 bhp at the rate of 4000 rpm. Nissan Micra has the mill with maximum displacement of 1461 cc. The mill is capable of producing 160 Nm at the rate of 2000 rpm. All the cars have Four-Wheel Drive (FWD) option. Power is transmitted to the wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission in Honda Brio. Apart from Brio, both the cars have a five-speed manual gearbox.
The fuel tank capacity of Honda Brio is 35 litres, which is the smallest in the pack. Nissan Micra has been given a modest 41 litres, which is quite enough for this category of cars. The Grand i10 from Hyundai is provided with a leading 43 litres fuel tank capacity, meant for long drives. The city mileage of Honda Brio is 13.3 kilometres per litre, while the highway mileage of 16.5 kilometres per litre. The Hyundai Grand i10 has a city mileage of 15.9 kilometres per litre, while the highway mileage of 18.9 kilometres per litre. Nissan Micra has a leading mileage among the three with 16.12 kilometres for a litre, while the highway mileage is 19.34 kilometres per litre. If you are looking for hatchbacks, any of the three options might be a good bet.
