हुंडई ग्रैंड i10 [2013-2017] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

This is my first car and I am happy with my car performance, Engine is very smooth that you can’t hear any sound while it stops at signal, and steering handling is also very good.

I am not sure how much mileage it is giving, I think it gives me 12 to 13 km/l , I dont know how much other cars generally gives. If you are not worried about mileage then it is a very good car with lot of features.

Exterior : Good Stylish car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) : good space for five members.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox : I drove upto 1000 km and the engine performance is very good.

Ride Quality & Handling : I touched upto 140 km / hr on highways and ride quality is very good

Final Words : good car if you are not worried about the mileage

Areas of improvement  : ground clearance, airbags should be there in all variants

Exterior

Awesome exterior: It looks very sleek and stylish from front and very dashing from the rear. Tail lamps, spoilers and roof rails make it stunning.I like the chrome finish door handles and lock unlock button. Automatically foldable ORVMs are superb.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interior is superb, beige and black combination is really good, it gives very soft and luxurious feel. Dashboard is really very good, it have very good and easy to use arrangement. Lot of space and holders for water bottle, mobile devices and other small stuffs.Driver seat is very comfortable and you can easily drive in heavy traffic as well as long drive without any issue. Rear seats are very comfortable with more legroom as compare to other cars(Swift, Figo). Also, rear seat head room is more from others. It have 256 liters of boot space around 50 ltrs more than swift.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine performance is fantastic with full of power.Fuel economy is reasonable, I am getting around 13kmpl in city with ac on. Gear box is very smooth and gear leaver is positioned well. However, initially till first service clucth was little hard and gear changing was little tight in traffic but once first service is done its soft and smooth like butter.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Awesome handling, steering is very responsive, suspension is ok,sometimes rear passangers feel jerks in patchy roads. Overall its good. 

Final Words

 Go for it, this is the first car in its segment which have a lot of features, fully loaded with useful features in 5.9-6.2 lac range.

No complains at all.  Satisfied with interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I found gearbox not that smooth.  But can be managed with practice.    No problem about engine performance atleast in city conditions.   Need to drive more to findout.

Ride Quality & Handling

Quality is superb.  You feel it when you drive Maruti and then Hyndai.  😎

Did not find any bumps at high speed also.

Final Words

I am 100% satisfied with my decision.  Was worried about battery draining problem after reading few reviews.   But I have not got any battery problem till date.  I have drive around 150 KM and ready for first service as 2 months have gone.  

This has been awarded Best Car in this category for 2013.  It's worth the cost.

Areas of improvement  

Ground clearance.   

I purchased on 1.11.13 Grand I 10 from PL Motors Tonk Road Jaipur in my wife name.  Within 15 days my new grand I10 it broke down due to battery problem. got it repaired from PL hyundai's rambagh service station.

Now again on 16th March 2013  it broke down due to same reason. Two days were holi holidays. I could not go any where. spoke to service station but could not get response due to holidays.

If for any reason i do not use car for 2-3 days will Grand I10  battery wont' work.

EarlierI I was having maruti but battery problem was never if i remebered it well.  Whenever I had used even after 10 -15days it started.

but in grand I10, two times its battery failed when i have not used the car even for 3 days.

Will the company interfere and see it to my problem. Is the prolem with the battery or its programming.
