Serious Thought put by Hyundai while Designing the Grand i10

Exterior: Looks like a successor of i20. It hardly resembles anything near i10. I think  i20 didn't do that well in the market as compared to i10 and hence Hyundai must have decided to name this model as Grand i10 rather than a calling it something like a mini i20. Exterior looks are fresh and the curved tail lamps simply glorify the looks of the car. Bumper guards missing in all variants of the Grand. For City use Bumper guards is really useful stuff. Also Door guards should have been standard across all variants.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Grand i10 has been very generous in terms of both Seating and Boot space. I was initially planning for a sedan car but after the Grand was launched changed my mind looking at the space. Opted for Magna version instead of Sportz and Asta variants because the company music system was not sounding that great. If someone plans to upgrade the integrated Music system later to a better one then that’s definitely going to be a task. Not saying that the company music system is really bad, but listening to music is a personal choice and I preferred to get one fitted from outside. I also preferred to stick with the Standard keyless entry as opposed to the Push Start button mechanism(Not a big deal even Buses/Trucks have Push Start mechanisms). Rear AC vent is good but not that great also. The force of air coming through the rear vent is much less as compared to the Front ones. This is because there is no dedicated blower at the rear, it’s just an extension of the Front vents.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: For petrol engine the proven 1.2 Kappa engine was used. Completed my First service at about 1300 kms. Fuel Economy about 15 kmpl. This is decent keeping in mind the power it delivers.   Gear shifting is really very smooth making the driving experience less exhausting in traffic conditions.

Ride Quality & Handling: Ride quality is Good. Suspension decent but not the best. Handling is excellent while driving on curvy roads.

Final Words: If someone is planning for a small car or even a mid-size sedan, this is definitely a choice to consider. Overall great value for money .If you looking for all Features then Go for Asta variant else Magna variant has most of the utility features.
