      Exterior and Interior Design: Toyota Etios Liva Vs Hyundai Grandi10

      Toyota India’s assumption of Indian consumers accepting a no-frills budget hatch without a second thought backfired miserably.

      The Hyundai Grandi10 is totally opposite as it offers the best in design for a hatchback of this size. The front is understated with a subtle flowing profile but the side gets fluidic lines with multi spoke alloy wheels and chrome garnish on door handles. Even the rear leaves an amazing impression with its sleek tail lights.

      There are steering mounted controls which help the driver operate the entertainment screen. One can play music with USB and Aux-in. It also has a Bluetooth enabled mobile telephony. The central screen looks decent with basic information and can be controlled with the help of a knob.

      Inside the Liva, the speedometer numbers are small and it is tough to tell the speed at first glance. There is also a shadow that is created by the needle which shows a pseudo speed about 20kmph more than what you are actually doing. The tachometer is also too far to the right to be used effectively. You don’t get any MID display too, which is the norm these days. It has just 2 basic trip meters.
