Hyundai has launched the Grand i10 Nios Corporate variant, priced between Rs 6.93 lakh-7.58 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Korean brand had introduced a limited-run variant with this name back in 2020, but had discontinued it in 2021. The new Nios Corporate variant is available in manual and AMT form, with the same 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine.
- Priced Rs 15,000 higher than Magna trim
- Costs Rs 35,000 lower than Sportz Executive
- Gets dual tone wheel covers, touchscreen over Magna
Priced at Rs 6.93 lakh and Rs 7.58 lakh for the manual and AMT versions, respectively, the new Nios Corporate variant is Rs 15,000 higher than the Magna trim, but Rs 35,000 less than the Nios Sportz Executive trim.
When compared to the Nios Magna, this new variant adds features such as dual tone covers for the 15-inch wheels, a new Amazon Grey exterior finish, a ‘Corporate’ emblem on the tailgate and a 6.75-inch touchscreen infotainment.
However, compared to the Sportz Executive, it misses out on features such as a rear camera, a rear defogger, projector headlights, alloy wheels, an 8-inch touchscreen, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The Grand i10 Nios continues to rival the Maruti Swift (Rs 5.99 lakh-8.89 lakh) – an all-new model is due quite soon – in the Indian market.
