Hyundai Grand i10 2017 Review

Some feel that by switching from a manual vehicle to an automatic, the sheer driving pleasure of a manual one is lost forever. Even though there are automated manual transmissions like an auto gear shift, they do not provide the same convenience as auto or the control and pleasure of a manual. However, the vehicles with both of these facilities are either expensive or less fuel-efficient. In this light, CarsGuide features the Hyundai Grand i10 2017 model, which serves as an affordable and innovative solution to this dilemma.

Exterior Design:

The 2017 Hyundai Grand i10 is a hatchback vehicle. When discussing the outside appearance of this vehicle, we can observe large halogen headlights. There is also a grille designed for the recently introduced cascade version. The benefit of this is that the new cascade design grille has been utilized in such a way that the engine receives adequate air intake.

The ground clearance of this car stands at 165mm. The car has also been designed to present a sporty appearance, with 14-inch alloy wheels.

Interior Design:

The interior of the Hyundai Grand i10 2017 vehicle is designed in two colours. An adjustable power steering wheel with audio, phone, and bluetooth controls, a superb 2-DIN music system C with D/MP3 player, USB connector, AUX-in & speakers, 1 GB of internal memory, and a center console with AC controls are also available. It also includes circular air-conditioning vents, a rear parcel compartment, bottle and cup holders, map pockets, storage space, sun visors, help grips, and a single rear air-conditioning vent.

In terms of seating, 5 people can sit and ride comfortably.
There are also features such as strong air conditioning, power windows, an adjustable steering column, a rear boot opener and fuel-filler, a smart-key and push-button start combo, a cooled glove box, and rear parking sensors.

Performance:

The Hyundai Grand i10 vehicle is available with both petrol and diesel engines. The 1197cc, 1.2L, 16V DOHC, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, Kappa 2 petrol engine with VTVT technology produces 80 bhp at 6000 rpm and 114 Nm at 4000 rpm and is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox and a four-speed automatic transmission. The 1.1L, 3-cylinder CRDi, U2 diesel engine produces 69 horsepower and 160 Nm of torque. It is linked to a five-speed manual transmission.

The Hyundai Grand i10’s ARAI-certified mileage is 18.9 kmpl for the petrol variant and 24 kmpl for the diesel type. However, under typical use, this is projected to be reduced by 2-4 kmpl.

Ride Quality:

The Hyundai Grand i10 offers excellent ride quality. It can turn sharply and travel even on rough roads due to its turning radius of 4.8 and good ground clearance. Furthermore, even when driving on potholed roads, the bumping is minimal. In fact, you can have a good, pleasant ride for a lower cost.

Safety and Technology:

For maximum passenger safety, the Hyundai Grand i10 2017 includes ABS, Dual Airbags, Smart-key and push-button start combo, fog lamps, rear seat belts, rear wiper and defogger, remote central locking, and rear parking sensors.
