Hyundai Grand i10 SportZ Edition launched in India for Rs 5.11 lakh

Hyundai is celebrating the first anniversary of the Grand i10, by launching the ‘SportZ Edition’. This special edition, priced at Rs 5.11 lakh for the petrol and Rs 5.98 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for the diesel, gets some cosmetic changes and additional features in the cabin.

The Grand ‘SportZ Edition’ sports a rear spoiler and body graphics on the sides as seen in the picture, while the company says the B-pillar will also be blackened out. The car stands tall on 14-inch diamond cut alloy wheels. The changes to the interior include premium full cloth upholstery crafted in tones of red. The cabin comes with features like bluetooth connectivity, steering mounted audio and bluetooth controls and a leather wrapped steering wheel.

There are no changes to the mechanical bits. This means the petrol variant is powered by a 1.2-litre four-cylinder kappa petrol engine developing 80bhp of power and 112Nm of torque. The oil-burner is powered by the 1.1-litre three-cylinder diesel mill that churns out 71bhp of power and 160Nm of torque. The gearbox options include a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic only in the petrol variant.

Rakesh Srivastava, Senior Vice-President, Marketing and Sales, HMIL, said, “We are delighted to introduce the ‘SportZ Edition’ of Grand amongst customers to celebrate this landmark.
