2013 Hyundai Grand i10 review, test drive

Based on ARAI tests, the diesel-engined Grand i10 claims to have an impressive fuel economy figure of 24kpl. Our tests returned 15.4kpl in city driving conditions and 19.6kpl out on the highway, which is pretty much on the same lines as its competitors. 

While the city fuel efficiency figure is a handsome one, the highway figure is impressive but could have been better. The fact that the Grand i10 has relatively shorter gear ratios means the engine spins at higher speeds on the highway and this has a negative impact on fuel economy. An overall figure of 17.5kpl combined with a 43-litre fuel tank gives the Grand i10 a phenomenal range of 750 kilometres on a single tank of diesel.
