THE GRAND I10 IS GREAT BUT HAVE TO BOW DOWN BEFORE THE TATA TIAGO

Exterior I AM OWNING BOTH A TATA TIAGO XZ REVOTRON AS WELLL AS A 2017 HYUNDAI GRAND I10 ASTA 1.2 PETROL. THE EXTERIOR STYLING OF THE G4RAND I10 IS THE HYUNDAI SIGNATURE FLUIDIC DESIGN PHILOSOPHY WHICH IS EYE CATCHING INDEED BUT ACCORDING TO ME MY TIAGO'S DESIGN IS BETTER. THE MAIN THIUNG I LIKED IN MY GRAND I10 IS THE DUAL TONE DIAMOND CUT STYLISH ALLOY WHEELS AND THE LED DRLs. THE TIAGO IS HAVING MORE MASCULINE DESIGN BUT THE GRAND LACKS THAT LUSTROUS FEEL. DESIGN IS A VARIABLE CHOICE AND MY OPINION MAYNOT BE SOME ONE ELSE'S OPINION.BUT ACCORDING TO ME THE TATA TIAGO IS HAVING A BETTER DESIGN LANGUAGE. EVEN THE TIAGO IS FLUIDIC AN D MASCULINE. THE TIAGO IS BASED ON THE IMPACT DESIGN PHILOSOPHY. TIAGO IS THUS HAVING A MORE APPEALING DESIGN.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) THE GRAND I10 'S CABIN IS INDEED VERY BEATIFUL. THE MAIN THING THAT CAPTURES OUR ATTENTION WHEN WE ENTER INSIDE IS THE HUGE 7.0" TOUCHSCREEN. THE TOUCHSCREEN IS FEATURE RICH. IT HAS APPLE CARPLAY, ANDROID AUTO, NAVIGATION, BLUETOOTH, MIRRORLINK AND MANY OTHER FEATURES. BUT WHEN IT VCOMES TO PRACTICALITY THE TIAGO SCORES MORE AS IT HAS ABOUT 22 UTILITY SPACES INCLUDING A PARCEL HOLDER WHICH CAN HOLD OUR SHOPPING BAGS. THE TIAGO HAS MULTI SRIVE MODES, A MORE POWERFUL AIR CONDITIONING AND HAS MORE SAFETY FEATURES LIKE ABS WITH EBD, CORNER STABILITY CONTROL AND BRAKE ASSIST [GRAND I10 HAS ABS BUT NO EBD, CSB AND BA] TIAGOOFFERS A MORE BODY WEIGHT HENCE GIVING MORE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING THE TIAGO'S AC IS GREAT. SO THERE IS NO NEED OF REAR AC VENTS. BUT I LIKE THE TOUCHSCREEN, AUTO AC, REAR POWER OUTLET AND ALSO THE INBUILT REVERSING CAMERAON THE HYUNDAI GRAND I10. THESE FEATURES ARE NOT AVAILANBLE IN THE TIAGO. THE REAR WIPER IN THE TIAGO IS SMART SENSING ONE. THAT MEANS IF IT IS RAINING AND THE FRONT WIPER IS ON WHILE REVERSING THE REAR WIPER AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON. THE GRAND HAS AREAR WIPER BUT IT IS NOT SMART SENSING.THE TIAGO HAS MANY OTHER FEATURES TOO THAT NOT ONLY THE GRAND BUT ALSO OTHER PREMIUM HATCHBACKS LIKE THE HONDA JAZZ , THE BALENO AND THE I20 DOES NOT HAVE.THE JAZZ IS ACTUALLY A BIG CAR BUT IT IS NOT ATYHE BANG OF THE BUCK. IT IS NOT HAVING MANY FEATURES.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox THE TIAGO IS HAVING MORE FEATURES AND THE ENGINE OF THE TIAGO IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE I20, GRAND 10 AND THE BALENO. MY GRAND I10 IS INDEED A GOOD CAR BUT THE TIAGO IS THE BETTER ONE.

Ride Quality & Handling WHILE DRIVING THE GRAND IT IS INDEED VERY PLEASING BUT THE TIAGO OFFERS A MORE PLUSH AND APEPPY DRIVE ESPECILLY BECAUSE OF THE FIRST IN SEGMENT MULYTI DRIVE MODES. THE TIAGO ALSO OFFERS A SAFER AND A MORE COMFORATABLE DRIVE.

Final Words THE TIGO IS INDEED A BETTER CHOICE THAN THE GRAND I10 AS WELL AS OVER THE PREMIUM HATCHES LIKE BALENO, I20 AND JAZZ.

Areas of improvement THE GRAND SHOULD IMPROVE A LOT WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY AND PRACTICALITY.
