Small yet powerful. 1.1 Diesel engine delivers good drive. Bought this car after a thorough research

Exterior One will recognise it as i20 in first glimpse. The aerodynamic looks seem to be inspired by Hyundai Verna - The best selling premium sedan in India. Trendy looks and toppings like - Indicators in ORVMs, treny door guards, sporty roof rails, alloy like wheel caps and key less entry keep this car par in the competition.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Rear AC vent - First to introduce in this class. 

Dual color dash board - Beige and black - Again the essence of Verna.

Space is ideal for 4 persons. 5th can be adjusted, not forefitted.

The thin sporty seats are little uncomfortable in long runs. Headrest are undetachable and good for nothing. It has a comfortable drive (even on the high speeds like 100-110 KM/hr), Boot space is impressive. Can easily accomodate 2 big suitcases.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The gear shifts are buttery and controls at feet are soft. Suspension is soft and I found it better than Swift. Though I beleive Swift has a stronger body capacity/tolerance.

1.1 litre diesel engine is quite and delivers a good drive. Fuel economy is yet to be tested - Have heared that it delivers 18-20km/L till second service and estimated to be 22+ km/l after the second service (when engine oil gets changed).

Ride Quality & Handling I am glad that Hyundai is working hard to improve handling of its vehicles. I have been driving Hyundai cars for last 8 years. Currently driving Hyundai Verna 1.6 EX Diesel car. Thanks to the copany that I could very well compare Grand's handling with Verna.  

With 72 BHP, the car's output is not at bad. Ride quality is good in city drives. Car is ideal for city drives and weekend gateaways driving.

Final Words With the refresh looks, i10 Grand has a better card than its matured competitors like Swift, Liva, Beat and Ritz. Drive is fun if less than 110 km/hr. Ideal for Indian roads and customers.

Areas of improvement Hyundai should have few more color options available for this car. It lacks pure red and blue.

Should have a variant with 1.2/1.4 Litre diesel engine for the riders who really want more from their small cars.
