      Cartrade Comparison Test

      When it comes to hatchbacks, Maruti Suzuki Swift rules the B Segment in terms of popularity and sales. It was last year that the Swift got a cosmetic uplift with snazzy bits like chrome additions and DRL mimicking strips around the fog lamps. Maruti Swift brought in a trend of premium hatchbacks in India; the same was followed by many other car makers. Its stellar performance in sales convinced Maruti Suzuki that the Indian audiences are too convinced about the product to give it an all new makeover.

      Hyundai, known for launching successful cars, was smart and quick to launch the Grandi10 and pitch it exactly between the i10 and the i20. This hatch from Hyundai was offered with features which took many car makers by surprise. Hyundai Grandi10, sold in India, has a longer wheelbase compared to its counterpart sold in Europe. So which one is better? We do a spec-feature comparo to understand it better.

Even the new generation sported similar lines and profile with only change in dimensions as the new Swift grew in size making it more spacious than before. Sweep back headlamps along with a slender grille and compactly placed fog lamps leave an impressive profile. The strong shoulder line paired with larger wheel arches and sporty shaped alloys make this hatch look elegant. It also gets a large tail door to help its customers load luggage in the best and most convenient way possible.

      Hyundai knows the fact that even a small hatchback needs a strong design to attract consumers and thus, they made use of the Fluidic Design philosophy to make the exteriors of the Grandi10 look extremely modern. The hexagonal grille is bold in design. The headlights sweep back towards the side as well as on the bonnet making it look large. The lower section of the front bumper has multiple crease lines. The tail door has a bulge in the design. Overall, it looks very impressive. These guys have worked hard in getting all their new cars look good.
