Hyundai Grand i10: In the dynamic hatchback market of India, the Hyundai Grand i10 has been a quiet performer, returning robust practicality, premium styling and attractive pricing.
Even though it has been eclipsed by newer models, the Grand i10 is still one of those good all-rounders — just the right blend of comfort, convenience and economy that most urban families crave.
Here’s our lowdown on what the Grand i10 still has going for it in 2025 and how it stacks up against its segment rivals, such as the Swift, Tiago and Celerio.
Design & Exterior Suffice it to say that the design does not affect the working of Smart Bluetooth Earpods Simple look, more elegant.
The Grand i10 isn’t a looker but suave cues benefit its boardroom appeal. The fluidic design language is no longer surprising, yet brings simple and sculpted front grille, swept-back headlamps and a hint of premium touch through the subtly done chrome.
It’s small enough to use in the city, but it doesn’t look small. Body-colored ORVMs, door handles, and alloy wheels (on higher models) enhance its upmarket appeal. It disappears into city traffic, but it never seems out of its depth.
Hyundai Grand i10 Cabin & Comfort: Roomy and Comfortable
Get inside, and the Grand i10 delights you with a cockpit that’s far more upmarket than you’d anticipate at this price. The two-tone interior is cleanly assembled and has an upscale look not found in many of the cars in this price range.
There’s tons of space to stretch on four adult heads and knees and the rear AC vents, cooled glove box, and tilt steering contribute to segment–abov-like comfort. There’s a practical 256 liters of boot space – enough for a weekend away or a load of groceries.
Infotainment & Features: Just about the right mix of both format and function
The infotainment system consists of a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a four-speaker sound system that provides crisp audio.
The system supports Bluetooth, with steering wheel controls to help you manage calls and music, and browsing through songs is snappy and navigation is fast.
Other ones worth mentioning:
Electrically adjustable ORVMs
The factsCovered rear cameras for grip aid.
Power windows on all doors
The car offers Keyless entry with push-button start in higher models.
Fortunately, these characteristics make daily driving easier without getting in the way.
Engine & Performance: Built for the City
Grand i10 is equipped with a 1.2L Kappa petrol, which is capable of developing 83 PS along with 114 Nm. You can opt for a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. It’s not designed to thrill you with speed, but it has reliable power for city riding.
And the engine is smooth and quiet, too. Gear shifts are light and the clutch easy to use — perfect for stop-and-go traffic. M/P: 18 -20 Kp/ liter, depending on type of drive.
Ride & Handling: The Cushiest in the Bunch
Hyundai has set up the Grand i10’s suspension to tackle broken roads and potholes without much ado. It rides softly and it’s composed, particularly at around-town speeds. Light steering makes parking and lane-changing a breeze.
Highway performance is acceptable, if not sporty. It’s stable at 80–100 km/h, but it’s not designed for cornering at high-speed. The brakes feel progressive and the ABS + EBD combo does its job without any fuss.
Safety: Basic but Functional
The Grand i10 also gets dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and strong body structure. The Grand i10 does all the important stuff for safety and is not really burdened by too much additional tech so that is a big tick for the Korean workshops.
