Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Review

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios exterior design

The Grand i10 Nios is a handsome looking hatchback, and up front, gets some interesting elements like the tri-arrow DRLs and a large grille with a honeycomb pattern. At the rear, it gets sharply styled tail-lights which are connected by a band, similar to the Venue compact SUV. However, the band is not a light but merely a reflector.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios interior and features

The interior of the Grand i10 is practical, well equipped and well thought out. A relatively high seating position, easy-to-reach touchscreen and ample storage makes it a car that instantly makes you comfortable. Higher-spec variants are well equipped with features such as an 8.0-inch touchscreen, wireless phone charger and rear AC vents.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios safety

The Grand i10 Nios is well equipped with respect to safety features too. It gets four airbags as standard, while the top-spec variant gets six.  Additionally, it also comes with ESC, hill-start assist, ISOFIX child-seat mounts and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios engine gearbox and dynamics

The Grand i10 Nios gets a sole 1.2-litre petrol engine and is paired to either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT. There's a CNG version too and the engine can also run on E20. The 1.2-litre motor gets the job done though it lacks the pep of Maruti’s K12 engine. It works best in city, and with a light-steering and good ride, the Grand i10 is a friendly city car. The previously available 1.0 turbo petrol and 1.2 diesel engines are no longer on sale.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios price and verdict

The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios price ranges from Rs 5.69 lakh to Rs 8.47 lakh (ex showroom). The Grand i10 Nios remains a compelling choice in the segment currently consisting of cars like the Tata Tiago and Maruti Suzuki Swift. It is a sensible and well-equipped family hatchback that is at home in urban environments.
