Hyundai Motor India is all set to launch Grand i10 in the Indian automotive market and hopes of getting a favourable response from customers. The induction of this car is indicative of auto maker's vision to gain more share by populating the Indian small car market with yet another model. This next generation Hyundai Grand i10 is expected to be launched in the second week of September and will compete with the likes of Maruti Suzuki Swift. As experts suggest, this car is a standalone model that will bridge existing i10 and i20 models. Here, it would be quite interesting to see how the company decides to position Grand i10's pricing between its peers, i10 and i20.
Hyundai Grand i10 is supposed to be based on a new platform to differentiate it from the current generation model of i10. It is expected to have 200 mm longer wheelbase as compared to the next generation i10, which is designed for Europe. The auto maker has put in extra efforts in terms of designing and fabrication in order to provide more glass area to the car's rear passengers. The car is supposed to come with a number of inherited features in order to lure customers. It is also expected to be more fuel efficient by virtue of a powerful engine.
For customers, the most befitting thing is that the car will also have a diesel option apart from the petrol. A mere glance at the vehicle highlights extra features that are in currently in demand. To an extent, as coverage of media indicates, the car seems to have more features than the currently available i20. This is bound to create some sort of hype among customers looking for something affordable and efficient. Also, with sale's slope seeing a prolonged phase of regression, the auto maker of Grand i10 is hoping that it would be able to beat market depression as the car has all what it takes to incite buyers. Now the important thing is to watch over for the Hyundai Grand i10 price.
Hyundai Grand i10 is expected to come with either 1.2 Kappa petrol engine or 1.1 U2 CRDi diesel engine. The thing to ponder here is that the car boasts of a high fuel efficiency. While the kappa engine has already been testified on the Indian roads, it remains to be seen how the Hyundai's 1.1 diesel engine, making is first appearance, will fare under testing local conditions. If experts are to be believed, the vehicle with 1.1 U2 CRDi diesel engine will be able to give a mileage of approximately 30 kmpl. This is certainly not bad and will help to cut on frequent re-fuelling.
The exteriors of Hyundai Grand i10 flaunts a stylish design that effectively, unlike current i10, put it on the same lines of Eon, i20, Verna, Elantra and Sonata. On the inside, the car shows off two-tone interiors with an attractive centre control for climate control and playing music. Interestingly, music system of this model comes with 1GB inbuilt hard disc capacity. Features like key-less entry, push start button and sufficient boot space provided in Hyundai Grand i10 will certainly lure auto lovers to go on for a test drive.
