We’ve found quite the ideal urban commuter in this Grand hatch from Hyundai.
As an overall package, the Grand i10 is a very impressive city car. Based on an all-new platform designed and engineered at Hyundai’s technical centre in Rüsselsheim, Germany, it is nicely built, well-equipped and feels effortless to drive in the city. As a city car, its ‘fitness for purpose’ is second to none. But as the kilometres pile up, will we find the ride too stiff? And will we crave more power and performance? These and other questions we’ll answer in our next report. Stay tuned.
