Too good interiors and features but lack in performance

Exterior

1. Excellent sporty look 

2. Retractable ORVMs make it easier to drive in jam packed roads

3. Rear Deffoger and rear wipers are extremely helpful

4. Ground clearance is too less hence it becomes difficult to drive over a huge speed braker without touching from beneath

 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 1. Features like bluetooth connectivity, steering mounted audio control, titlable steering, adjustable seat height, electric power steering, etc makes it the best car in its segment.

2. Leg space is huge! I really wonder that how Hyundai has found out such a large leg space in a medium hatchback like this.

3. Backseats are a little small to accomodate three people comfortably.

4. Overall a comfortable car.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 1. 1120 cc engine doesnt give enough power. I have been using Swift VDI for last 6 years and engine performance of Grand i10 is no way near to the Suzuki Swift. When you come down from gear 4 to gear 3 to overtake a vehicle; pickup and speed of Grand i10 drops considerably. Pick up of this vehicle is quite poor. Hyunda should improve this vehicle in this aspect.

2. Driven 2100 km as of now. 1500 km on highways. Mileage on highways was 19.6 kmpl whereas in city use its givin a mileage of around 14-15 kmpl (decent enough for a diesel engine).

3. Gear box is extremely smooth and its much better than that of the Suzuki Swift.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Excellent ride quality as well as handling.

Final Words

 If the pick up and engine performance would have been better I would have given 5 stars overall to this car.

 

Areas of improvement  

 

 

Good fuel economy, excellent interiors, internal features like that of a sedandriving performance
