Heating up the small car segment war, Hyundai on Tuesday launched the Grand i10 hatchback at a starting price of Rs 4.29 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi, introductory price). The diesel variant of the same has been launched at a starting price of Rs 5.23 lakh.
The Hyundai Grand i10 is a larger and more premium offering in the B-Segment market. Wearing the company's fluidic family design language the Grand i10 is quite the looker with its stretched back headlamps, strong shoulder line, large glass house and wrap around tail lamps.
Hyundai has also put together the interiors of the new Grand i10 with good quality materials that give the cabin an upmarket air. Armed to the teeth with gizmos the Hyundai Grand i10 packs in a host of features such as a smart key, push button start/stop, a double DIN audio system with 1 GB internal memory, Bluetooth connectivity , Aux-in and USB connectivity, steering mounted audio controls, A/C vent for rear passengers (an industry first in the segment), rear parking sensors, glove box cooling, electric ORVMs, etc.
Engine options include the proven 1.2 litre KAPPA petrol motor and a brand new 1.1 litre U2 CRDI diesel motor which will indeed bring home the heavier numbers on the Grand i10's sales charts. The diesel engine, an official claimed, will deliver best-in-class fuel efficiency of over 23 kilometres per litre.
The world's fifth largest carmaker will launch three compact cars in India over the next 18 months - the all new global hatchback Grand i10 (launched today) which will take on Maruti Suzuki Swift, Eon 1 litre to take on Alto K10 and the next generation i20 next year.
