GOOD CHOICE.BUT THE TIAGO IS EVEN BETTER

Exterior THE FLUIDIC SCULPTRE OF THIS CAR IS INDED PLEASING.I AM ALSO OWNING A TATA TIAGO XZ. I BOUGHT THIS 2017 HYUNDAI GRAND I10 MORE THAN A MONTH AGO [ EXACTLY SAYING JUNE 30 2017 ] AND I FOUND THAT WHEN WE COMPARE THE TIAGO WITH THE GRAND I10 THE TATA IS CLEARLY THE BETTER ONE.THE GRAND I10 WHICH I AM OWNING IS THE ASTA 1.2 PETROL. IT HAS ONLY SOME FEATURES THE TIAGO DOESNOT HAVE LIKE A TOUCHSCREEN , AUTO AC,PUSH START ,REAR AC VENTS AND DRLs.BUT THE TIAGO BOASTS OVER THE HYUNDAI HAVING CORNER STABILITY CONTROL, PREMIUM KNITTED FABRIC ON ROOF LINER,SMART SENSE REAR WIPWR {THE GRAND I10 DO HAVE A REAR WIPER BUT IT IS NOT SMART SENSING.THAT IS THE TIAGO'S WIPER AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON AND OFF WHILE REVERSING IF THE FRONT WIPER IS ON. THE TIAGO IS MORE HEAVIER THAN THE GRAND. IT HAS SPEED SENSING AUTO DOOR LOCKS AND THE VERY SPECIAL MULTIDRIVE MODES WHICH THE GRAND DOESNOT HAVE. THE TIAGO HAS FEATURES WHICH EVEN THGE CARS OF THE PREMIUM SEGMENT LIKE I20 DON'T HAVE. THE GRAND I10 HAS 83BHP @ 6000 RPM BUT THE TIAGO HAS 85 BHP @ 6000 RPM. I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I FOUND THAT THE ELITE I20 ALSO RUNS ON THE SAME PETROL ENGINE WHICH IS IN THE GRAND I10.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) THE INTERIOR IS NICE. THE TOUCHSCREN IS A GOOD ONE.THE REAR AC VENTS ARE ALSO NICE. THE GRAND I10's AC IS ALSO PRETTY GOOD. THE LAYOUT SEEMS TO BE PREMIUM. BUT THE CAR IS NOT ACTUALLY A VALUE FOR MONEY ONE AS THE CAR 7,25000 RUPEES ON ROAD PATHANAMTHITTA, KERALA AS I BOUGHT BEFORE THE GST ANNOUNCEMENT. MY TIAGO XZ REVOTRON 1.2 PETROL HAD ONLY 5.6 LAKHS ONROAD KOTTAYAM, KERALA WHICH I BOUGHT A YEAR AND HALF AGO. THE TIAGO IS INDEED THE BANG OF THE BUCK AND THE DRIVING COMFORT IS MORE IN THE TATA TIAGO.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox THE GRAND'S ENGINE ISGOOD. THE TIAGO'S IS ALSO A 1.2LITRE ENGINE BUT IS MORE POWERFUL AND FUEL EFFICIENCY OF THE GRAND I10 IS ALSO NOT UPTO MARK.THE TIAGO IS HAVING A GREATER FUEL EFFICIENCY WHEN COMPARED TO THE HYUNDAI.

Ride Quality & Handling IT'S GOOD IN THE HYUNDAI BUT MY TATA TIAGO'S ACCORDING TO ME IS BETTER. TIAGO IS HAVING A BETTER DRIVABILITY WHEN COMPARED TO THE GRAND.

Final Words OVERALL GOOD BUT NOT THE BEST.NOT A VALUE FOR MONEY CAR.TIAGO IS A BETTER CHOICE THAN THE HYUNDAI.

Areas of improvement HIGH PRICE.THE ABSENCE OF SPEED SENSING DOOR LOCKS IS INDEED A MISSING FEATURES AS IT IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY.THE FUEL ECONOMY IS ALSO A GREAT PROBLEM. THE TIAGO IS ALSO HAVING A MORE CMFORT THAN THIS CAR WHICH IS MORE COSTLIER THAN THE TIAGO.

THE REAR AC VENTS, ADVANCED TOUCH SCREEN INFOTAINMENT ,DRLsTHE LACK OF ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES LIKE CORNER STABILITY CONTROL
