Final Words Best car i used ever, its best car for family of 5 members. It has got very good drive control in curves and turns. Love to drive in grand i10.

Areas of improvement Infortion system can be improved, folding back seat could have allow more space.

Good Drive experience in city and Highwaynothing as of now

It is best car good Mileage low maintenance cost. Almost 4.5 year we have this car 2 time will travel Mumbai to Kanyakumari will get approx. 17 km/l on entire Trip. Smooth Drive with 4 people with full load tank. Lot of fun and enjoyed. I'm love the car now our family 4 to 7 people looking for 7 seater with this same fun car. hope Hyundai fulfill our requirement soon. I'm happy In 10Lakh Budget. For 4 people family it is good car, more fun more enjoyment I'm happiest person of Grand i10.

Exterior

It gives good mix of i10 and i20 in styling. Thankfully, it has Reverse Gear Lamps both sides, which were missing in i20 (it had only 1 side Rev Gear Lamp, a cheap cost cut). Most of Hyundai cars now look alike. i10 Grand has thus familiar looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

AC Vents for rear is very good innovation by Hyundai, which soon other carmakers will definitely follow in budget hatch backs. Cabin space is more of less like i10, Santro marginally lesser than i20, Swift OR Tata Vista

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Hyundai went wrong here. 1.1 Litre Diesel is sheer under-powered and when AC was switched On, engine looked nervous (AC has to push air via rear vents also, i.e. additional power needed). 1248 Diesels in Maruti, TATA and Chevrolet cars easily beat this. Also Ford Figo and LIVA with 1.4 Ltr Diesel are way better for highways specially with AC On.

May be later HYUNDAI gives atleast VERNA's 1.4 Dsl OR 1.6 Dsl later on (engine bay is more fit for 1.4 Dsl)

Ride Quality & Handling

handling, Ride should not be an issue, but due to poor power, driving pleasure lacks. Without AC Feul economy is around 20, but with AC the engine tires and consumes feul, it drops to 14 and with hard pressed for speed, it falls to 10..!! Such variation is not felt in competitions' cars with bigger engines 1248 Cc cards give feul efficiency of 15-20

Final Words

Good Innovation for comfort BUT under-power reminds of BEAT Diesel

Areas of improvement  

Engine needs to be 1.4 Litre diesel

 

AC vents at rear are good innovation in the budget hatch segmentHyundai started bad trend of Front seats with NO Headrest

Exterior very attractive, an eye catcher, good aerodynamic shape, rear design is out standing, fog lamps well placed suiting the design. USP of the car the design of the Alloy wheels blending with the car design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The best part of the car, very attractive interiors, feel of a premium class car, with good finish, good ergonomically designed seats comfortable for long drives, ac is very effective cools the car in minutes. steering has a good feel and good positioning, rear leg room and head room is good, hyundai has managed to provide good boot space. seat fabric could have had a more premium finish.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good responsive engine silent, fuel economy 14.5 in city, gear shifting is very smooth with short throw and positioning of the gear change lever.

Ride Quality & Handling Good ride quality and handling.

Final Words Good car value for money,an alternate option for swift.

Areas of improvement Reverse camera could have been incorporated, seat fabric a moor premium quality to be provided.

Decent milleage,eye catching design, exellent interior specs & finish, very good A/cDriver seat hight adjusting lever crammed between the door bit difficult to operate.

Exterior Its been 3 weeks since I have received my i10 magna and it ha been great. I cannot count how many people have apprcited the car. Especially the color, mine is wine red. The fluidic desicn just captures attention. The back hood has bee designed really well. It marks the difference between i10 and the grand. From the back the car looks just awesome. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fantastic interiors, It is spacious and great foot room. both the front and back seats have good leg room and it makes driving a pleasure. Boot space is really good and boot space light is a good feature.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox So far I have just loved the drive and the performance of the vehicle. The gear box has some slight roughness transitioning to a few selected gears but over time it should smoothen out. The Kappa 1.2 engine is excellent

Ride Quality & Handling Brilliant. Smooth, At the time of writing this my wife is 7 months pregnant and I live in an area with not so good roads. Her feedback is that it is mighty smooth than our previous rides.

Final Words It  was a tough choice to go for a grand i10 as there were not many in my friend/family/friend of friends circle who had i10 grand but the looks and the features were pulling. My family has stuck to maruthi since the beginning. It was not easy to move away from maruthi. People told me that maruthi maintenance is cheap, maruthi is made for indian roads, you gt a service centre anywhere. Since I travel alot by road with my family I wanted to stick on to these points. But as far as I have seen Hyundai is no equivalent in service and maintenance.Getting a 1200 cc car which is bigger than the i10 and priced lesser than the swift and ritz were pulling factors. Comapared to the Era version the magna had a host of features added just for 20k. So I went for the Magna. NO regrets and very happy with it.

Buy the car from a well established dealer who has a good service facility. I was adviced this from one review in Carwale where the gentleman had to go back to the service station multiple times due to inexpertise of the service executives and work men

Areas of improvement Fog Lamps I find are more like parking lights, Just add to the stlyling but not very effective. Factory installed horn is weak and I will definitely have to get that changed. Car accessories were not available (Mysore) and even now are hard to fid. I still have not got my mud flaps and floor mats(basic stuff).

The exterior, space inside, boot space, rear vent A/cFog Lamps, horn

I have purchased Grand i10 Asta (O) variant on last December, 13 and driven around 1500 KMs..

Exterior

 The look of the car is very nice..Hyundai is always good in exterior styling..

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Feature wise .is is clearly ahead  of it's competetor like swift, Polo etc. key less entry, Strat/stop buton,auto folding mirror,cool glove box, lot many sensors like Seat belt warning, Key out warning and many ohers.

Space wise it is very comfortable. 3 Average size people can easily adjust at back seats. Front spece is also good. Only issue, there is no adjustable head rest at the front seats..

The AC cooling power is very good..within some second it will cool inside..

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The engine performance is very good..its peppy and responsive. The gear box is very smooth. I had taken the test drive with Swift..the gear was not so smooth as like Grand i10. This is my 1st car..and I am quite happy with my cars. Milage is around 11-13 with AC on in city condition.

Ride Quality & Handling

 smooth riding. Handling capacity is more than the i10 and i20.  May be in handling..it is a step back from its rival swift. Easy driving in city condition.

Final Words

 Value for money..small car with all required features...makes you feel like driving a costly car.

Areas of improvement  

 central locking system, Front head rest..

 

Exterior style, Smooth Gear box, Spacious and Comfortable..central locking system, Front seats head rest..

Exterior

 I love the looks. Especially from the back side.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The car has very good interior quality. The blue and white LED lights look cool especially at night. The steering feels great and all the controls are quite handy. The call quality is very nice too. Now, I never miss a call while driving. The interior space is a lot better than the cars of this size. The rear AC vent is so so but, something is better than nothing. AC is quite powerful even at level 1, never had to use level 2 yet.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

It has very good pickup till 4th gear which lets you go at 100km. Unfortunately, I rarely get a chance to use 5th in the city. But, I think it goes out of breadth at 5th gear.

Ride Quality & Handling

Handling is pretty nice, very much like Swift. Ride quality isn't that great as I feel a lot of bumps due to stiffer suspension. But, it's not a problem for such a small car. 

Final Words

 I don't regret the decision at all. I have driven it for 1000 kms now and I just love it. Highly recommeded diesel car. Not sure about the petrol version.

Areas of improvement  

 Speakers and horn should be of better quality.

 

Keyless entry n go, interior quality, space, seatsSpeaker quality, Low horn volume - no one gives way

Exterior Good lookin and yes grand.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice and spacious for its size.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Cool. compared to the previous cars I had and recently Maruti Swift Zxi, where the Body was too heavy for the engine causing initial shivering/vibration of the whole car while taking off after stoping in slopes as I live in a very hillt terrian state of Mizoram.

Ride Quality & Handling Really good

Final Words Please let the Hyundai company read this review. could not find site to write review in their website.

Areas of improvement As mentioned above a company of such repute providing a steel wheel spare tyre was very disappointing, it needs to replace the spare Steel wheel with an alloy tyre. In fact, I searched the whole market for replacement of the spare steel wheel for a similar Alloy wheel design but failed. I would like to let the Hyundai people know that I bought a Maruti Swift Zxi in Dec 2005 where similar spare steel wheels were provide but was replaced by alloy wheels by February 2006. Hope Hyundai could do the same. Please let the Hyundai people read this review.

Mostly everything except the steel wheel spare tyre.Shocked to see a Steel wheel spare tyre. Replce as Maruti did for Swift in 2005-2006 for top model.

Excellent exterior, the nice chunky headlamps and rear tail lights. Solid body than swift. Very nice shape and curves which provides great aerodynamics.

Interiors are of very good quality offering features above the value. The music system comes with all possible connectivity like bluetooth audio streaming, ipod connectivity etc. The rear legroom is also very good.

The engine is quite powerfull as i only drive this car only in city conditions and in never feel lack of power. Engine always reponds me as need of me. Overtaking is also quite nice. 

AC is quite powerfull as i always increasing the temperature as it cools the car just within 5 mins.

The fuel economy i'm getting is also very nice as for 1st 3 months i was getting 13 kmpl on full time ac on and now im getting 18kmpl full time on ac and in city conditions only in delhi but on highway not driven yet.

The ride quality is also very excellent on speeds of 100 the car is very stable and the steeering response is also excellent.

In city, the running traffic the car steers very sharply and is very light and brakes are also quite powerfull.

Go for this car. Its truely the value for money car.

Areas of improvement Please provide better output for stereo system and audio speakers.
