Hyundai Grand i10 Nios
Hyundai’s hatchback line-up is all set to expand with the arrival of the Grand i10 Nios. The Nios will plug the gap between the existing Grand i10 and larger i20 models. Official images of the new Grand i10 Nios suggest the car is larger than the current Grand i10 and there is a clear visual link to newer Hyundais. The low-set ‘cascading grille’ is the focal point at the front and the front bumper with its cuts and creases looks quite dramatic too. Large headlamps and a contoured bonnet do add some distinction to the look. As on the Grand i10, the Grand i10 Nios’ window line rises sharply towards the rear though the glass area seems larger than before. Diamond-cut alloy wheels and chrome door handles will also be part of the package on top-spec trims.
First images of the interior also reveal an upmarket cabin. Sporting an ivory-grey theme, the interior promises a big jump up in perceived quality. The Grand i10 Nios’ dashboard is well turned-out and handily positions the 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system high up and in the driver’s line of sight. Hyundai is likely to offer the Grand i10 Nios with its BlueLink connectivity tech too. The cabin also promises to be very practical with a useful recess above the glovebox, a storage bay at the base of the centre console and generously-sized door pockets. Cabin space is also understood to be more generous than the Grand i10. Expect the Grand i10 Nios to be big on features. Steering-mounted controls, powered mirrors and auto climate control aside, the Nios is also expected to feature wireless charging and a part-digital instrument cluster.
The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios will be offered with BS6 emission norms-compliant versions of the existing 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine and the 1.2-litre U2 diesel. Both engines will come with a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard, while AMT automatics will also be offered with both.
Like the current model, the new Hyundai Grand i10 Nios will rival the Maruti Suzuki Swift and Ford Figo. Expect new Hyundai Grand i10 Nios prices to be in the region of Rs 5-8.5 lakh (estimated, ex-showroom). Final prices will be announced at the Grand i10 Nios’ launch on August 20, 2019.
