Indias second largest car manufacturer, Hyundai Motor India Limited has launched its new hatchback Grand i10 in India at Rs. 4.30-5.48 lakhs for the four petrol variants and Rs. 5.24-6.41 lakhs for the four diesel variants.
The Grand i10 seemingly packs the punch that Hyundai has long needed to shake up the small car segment. It is available with a 1.2-litre Kappa petrol motor with higher tuning that develops 83 PS power and 116 NM torque. A 1.1-litre three-cylinder diesel variant U2 a derivative of the 4 cylinder 1.4 litre diesel motor that powers the more premium i20. This motor belts out 71 PS power and 163 NM of torque. The diesel variant has come as a welcome announcement for those reeling under the burden of steeply increasing petrol prices. It has a rated fuel economy of 24 kmpl. The petrol variant delivers a fuel economy of 18.9 kmpl.
Some of the features of the Grand i10 include rear air conditioning vents and 1 GB internal memory in the music system that does away with the need for a USB stick or compact disc. It also has push start ignition, a feature absent in the bestselling Maruti Swift.
