Hyundai Grand i10 Nios review, road test

Sportz (top spec for AMTs) gets stylish alloys with 165/70 R14 tyres.

Ample charging provisions, including a wireless charging pad. 12V socket present at the rear too.

Digital speedo with an analogue tachometer is a nice combination.

Like all Hyundais, the Nios is very well equipped, and the top two variants – Asta and Sportz – are available with kit like an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an Arkamys-tuned sound system, a rear-view camera, alloy wheels, projector headlamps and fog lamps, power-folding mirrors and more.

Rear-view camera display is clear, although the guidelines don’t turn with the steering wheel.

For the time being, the top-spec Asta variant is reserved for the manual variants only. So these get added noteworthy kit like larger 15-inch alloys, keyless entry and go, wireless charging, a cooled glovebox, and rear wiper and washer. While all these are good to have, it’s the rear wiper and washer that is essential and should have been available with the AMTs as well.
