    Make : Hyundai
    Model : Grand i10
    Just when you thought that there were no more niches left in the ever-crowded Indian car market, Hyundai has just found one. The Korean company believes there is a tiny gap between the i10 and i20 and has plugged it with yet another hatchback, called the Grand i10, which is all set to make its world debut in India. 
     
    As the rather unimaginative name suggests, the Hyundai Grand i10 is essentially a ‘grander’ version of the i10, which means it’s larger and positioned in a sub-segment higher. Built on Hyundai’s BA platform, the Grand i10 is essentially a stretched version (with a 100mm longer wheelbase) of the next-generation i10, which will be launched at the Frankfurt motor show. Hyundai won’t offer the Grand i10 for European markets, which will instead get the smaller version of the new i10 that will replace the current model. In India, the Hyundai Grand i10 will co-exist with the current i10, which Hyundai is loathe to phase out as it still sells a cool 7,000 units a month. Besides, the Grand i10 is a completely different car with little in common with its predecessor.
