Hyundai Motor India has launched the facelifted Hyundai Grand i10, with prices starting at Rs 458,000 lakh and going up to Rs 733,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The facelifted hatchback receives styling changes in line with its European sibling, along with getting more equipment and a new diesel engine.
Commenting on the launch of the newest Hyundai for India, Y K Koo, MD and CEO, Hyundai Motor India, said, “The Grand i10 has become a landmark product in HMIL’s growth story. Over 550,000 units of the Made-in-India Grand i10 have been sold in India and world markets. The launch of the new 2017 Grand i10 will create a new benchmark for the segment.”
The new pricing makes the base Grand i10 more affordable than its predecessor though the top variant sees a price hike. As with its other models, the new pricing is aggressive with the model line on the whole more affordable than its direct rival, the Maruti Swift – Rs 481,000 to 744,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The pricing also places the facelifted Grand i10 in the crosshairs of the all-new Maruti Ignis which is priced from Rs 459,000 to Rs 780,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
The facelift sees a revision to the variant line-up, with the Asta(O) trim replaced by a Asta trim as the new top variant. New to the line-up is a Sportz(O) trim positioned just below the top Asta trim.
In terms of equipment, the car sees the addition of a new 7.0-inch touchscreen AVN system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirror Link connectivity on top variants. Also added is a new 5.0-inch touchscreen on the mid-level Sportz trim onwards. The higher variants also get equipment such as reverse parking camera and sensors, automatic climate control, LED daytime running lamps and new-design 14-inch diamond cut alloy wheels.
Under the hood, the biggest change to the line-up is the introduction of a new diesel engine. The old 71hp 1.1-litre diesel makes way for a new 1.2-litre powerplant that develops a meatier 75hp and 171Nm of torque. The 83hp 1.2-litre Kappa petrol motor is carried forward but is now tuned for better efficiency. A five-speed manual gearbox is offered as standard, with the petrol getting the option of an automatic gearbox. Hyundai claims a fuel economy of 19.77kpl for the petrol manual and 17.49kpl for the petrol automatic while the diesel gets a rating of 24.95kpl.
Hyundai is also readying some mid-cycle facelifts for the Xcent compact sedan – which is also expected to make use of the new 1.2-litre diesel engine – and the Eon hatchback.
