Hyundai Grand i10 [2013-2017] User Reviews

We bought this car on 1july 2014 from shivsagar hyundai car dealer. After months of servey,test drives,comparisons of cars in carwale,collecting feedbacks of the other buyers..finally we decided to buy grand i10.. This car is superb..first of all the car is totally low sound producing car,when you will drive this behind someone,no one will know that a car is coming untill you horn. Secondly handling is amazing, pick up is very nice and quick,i drove this upto 120kmph. Best thing is its comfort of the seats.. it has decent amount of space in 2nd row..seats position is so good and angled that it produces large amount of space..4person can adjust in 2nd row. We are getting millage of 16/17kmpl now after 4 years and 6months I suggest a hatchback lover to buy this.

Very good car value for money car. A cathy good title grabs every car good mileage very good loo very good. performance. Low-cost service and maintenance. A very good rating in India for this car.

Exterior Excellent exteriors. only concern is if somehow it gets dented on the sides which is quite possible on indian roads, will the auto door unlock feature become a mess?

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent features. however, instead of rear ac vents they could have at least provided rear defogger/wiper in lower trims as well. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It is not as good as the fiat engines, but for those used to driving light hyundais, it is much better than i20 or eon.

Ride Quality & Handling As above.

Final Words Excellent car however some essential options required for indian conditions like rear defog and abs are missing except in asta trim which is a big let down.

Areas of improvement Dealer response are outright poor. the sales rep are as always clueless about various trims, no test drive is provided and they cant even tell difference between gi10 and i20. add to it, waiting period and no offers. even outside insurance is being refused by dealer which would deny ncb.

Overall this car can clock over 15k sales if hyundai tightens the dealers, tunes up the trims and ass issues like battery drain problems reported by users. They have done it before and hope they will do it again.

Exterior

 The overall exterior is up to mark and it looks much better than some of the hatch back cars selling in this segment. The back view is different and it looks like an smaller version of an luxury car. The body design, head lamp, tail lamp, handles, micro antenna looks like made for Grand i1o only and it fits well with the car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Magna is the second version and it has almost all basic features other than Music system and parking sensor and I added music system from Sony and Video parking camera to fulfill the same. The space, comfort and seats are well placed and does not give a compact car feel while 5 people are inside car. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The Engine performance is up to the mark as per a 1200CC engine and it gives required power as per the need. Gear box position and the shifting of gear make the driving easy. Steering is electrical motor driven and driving with it gives pleasure though there is scope of improvement. My Vehicle gives mileage 11KM/lit (Petrol) inside city which will improve after 1st service. Brakes are a plus factor that adds up to safety.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Comfortable ride inside city ( I have not taken to NH) and Handling is good where as there is scope of improvement which will make  more smiles😊 on road while driving.

Final Words

I own the car since 21st Sept 2013 and I find the Grand i10 a Descent family hatch back that appears as a mini version of some luxury car and is gives you back the value for money😎

Areas of improvement  

 1. Tail lamp cover fades and gives a dull look.

2. Battery was getting discharged if car stays for 3 days without running and as there was some oversupply of current to Instrument Cluster( where you have tachometer, trip meter etc.) and that was draining battery. They have upgraded the firmware of cluster after complain but still I need to test it again by putting car 6 days at home without running. This seems a serious defect ( as you need to push the car to start) and Hyundai should voluntarily upgrade without waiting for customer complain. 

3. The fixed Back could have been replaced with adjustable head rest.

4. The city mileage should be improved.

5. I got fitted my mud flaps after 2 months because it was not available. this calls for an improvement.

 

6. Its already 4 months since lunch and no accessories are available with dealer. So, need to be more proactive to get accessories in the first month of launch

Good Style, two toned interior, rear AC vent, Boot space, Gear position,Comfort, Head lamp styleTail lamp cover, Back Head rest, battery discharge

Exterior: A gaint Leap from i10. It looks more professional. There is nothing which can be called over styling. Paint Job is just a class above. The doors open very wide for easy entry and exit. Panel Gaps are consistent.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Interiors are as good as some 10 million car. Fit and finish is top notch. The ergonomics are better when compared to competition. There is no visible cost cutting. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine is tried and tested. Gearbox is sleek. Short throws are very smooth. Accelerator, Break and clutch are super light. 

 

Ride Quality & Handling: Ride Quality and Hadling is better than any hyundai of any class. This car loves tarmac. It is not as bouncy as old i10 or i20. Steering gives proper feedback and has life. Both city and highway driving is good in petrol version.

 

Final Words: I am glad to buy this car and enjoying it evry moment. 

 

Areas of improvement: Hyundai should add a dead pedal, it seriously needs it.

 

 

Exterior and Interior Styling, PriceHorn, Height adjustable seat belt but nothing deal breaker

Exterior : Unmatchable exterior. It is quite good looking and fantastic.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

No doubt, it is the best in this segment. Features are excellent. Space and comfort is quite O.K.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine performance is excellent with fuel economy. No problem in gear box. Only problem is in electrical circuit so that battery drains out within three days. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is quite high. I appreciate the vehicle for every thing except battery/electrical problem. It is serious issue and required to be sorted out by Hyundai.

Final Words 

 

Areas of improvement  I purchased my car on 01 Nov 13. After first servicing from Express Hyundai, Chennai I found that battery drains out if I leave the vehicle undriven for more than 03 days. Not only I also my friend is facing the same problem. If the new car has such problem, it is quite unfortunate. My request to Hyundai is to explore the fault and recall the cars for fixing/solving the problem. 

 

 

Keyless start, Parking Sensors and smoothness in drivingBattery Problem

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.

Good stylebreak down due to battery problem

Exterior Fantastic exteriors....:)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I loved the seating and air conditioning....:) In Cabin Blue lighting is awesome , connectivity (bluetooth) works immaculately , Steering wheel feels good to hold , Leg room for second row passengers is acceptable but lil cumbersome for 3 people to sit (as expected) , Quality of materials used is top notch should have given Auto air control atleast on Asta(O) :( .

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gearbox is smooth, engine performs really well in city conditions and on highways to an extent, thoroughly enjoyed highways n city riding is like cake walk(for a first time car owner it speaks a lot) have not measured fuel economy till now. Just finished First servicing of the car, will update in sometime.

Ride Quality & Handling Lil bit of body rolling but acceptable, handling is cool :)

Final Words Enjoying thoroughly. Its been a month i bought my car (Asta Option Diesel) no  major compliants. Happy Customer. Hyundai  Grand is my first Car :) n I am lovin it :) would recommend this car without any doubt.

Areas of improvement Auto Air Control. :(

Almost everythingNot many except Absence of Auto Climate control

Exterior

 Very stylish european fluidic design. It has best in class looks. Hyundai has carry forward the fluidic design in Grand i10 also and that has made it look calss apart from other hatchbacks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 very spacious and comfortable specially with rear AC vent makes life more comfortable. Overall its fully loaded with lots of features.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 with 1100 cc engine, performance is ok but it does not matter as we are not going to participate in F-1 racing. Handling is very good both on city roads and highways.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Pretty decent.

Final Words

 Swift is good but its of grandpa age. I20 is good but much costlier than Grand i10. Therefore, I went for Grand i10 diesel. 

Areas of improvement  

 There should be a rear defogger in sports model along with bluetooth connectivity. Also, Hyundai should include ABS and air bags atleast in top version. Doesnt make sense to include these in optional version only. I hope they will keep this in mind during next upgarade.
