2013 Hyundai Grand i10 review, test drive

Make : Hyundai

Model : Grand i10

A hatchback finds a new home in India every 20 seconds. And now, Hyundai Motor India has given us hatch-loving folk one more model to choose from.The Grand i10 is the fifth hatchback in Hyundai’s portfolio and wiggles into the gap between the i10 and i20.

The Grand i10 is essentially the next-generation i10 with revisions made specifically with the Indian consumer in mind (more on that later) and will be sold alongside the current i10. But, most importantly, the Grand i10 also gets Hyundai’s first, locally produced, small three-cylinder diesel engine which will, for the first time, give the company direct access into the relatively untapped small diesel hatchback segment in India.

The petrol motor is the familiar 1.2-litre Kappa2 engine that powers the regular i10 but in this test, we put the diesel mill through its paces.
