Hyundai Grand i10 [2013-2017] User Reviews

I bought this vehicle 2 months back and already 4 times I took it to the service center. There is some serious issue with the electrical and they have not found out a permenant fix still. I am completely disappointed with the kind of service they provide. I Bought the vehicle from APCO Hyindai and the service engineers are not well trained.The car features are ultimate but you cannot trust this vehicle for a long drive. We got stuck 4 times on raod and still fighing for a permanant fix. When I faced the same issue in the second time, the issue was handled in such a careless way that the Hyundai trained service personals were not even bothered to check the route cause for the fuse to get burnt; instead they believed that the issue would be solved by replacing the fuse. I am stuck at the mid of my way without having any connectivity which is almost 600kms from my home. We two people are staying in a hotel from yesterday without knowing when can we go back with the car..!! Will Hyundai be responsible for our these unexpected expenses…?

good style, ecconomySome serious issue with the Electrical, in Last 2 months i was stuck 4 times on road

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine has very good pulling power in 1,2,3 & 4 gear. However, in top gear its more of a gliding and less of power. Yet, its a very good car for highway drive too!. I touched upto 130 kmph, it was very smooth.

Fuel economy is good, if not impressive. highway drive gives 16.5 KMPL and city drive gives 13 KMPL with AC on all time!.  

55 litres of pertrol gave 880 kms mileage, of which 220 kms driven in city and 660 kms driven in highway. combined average is 16 KMPL. I calculated Rs 4.20 spent of fuel per KM in Grand I10. But, in swift your spent would be Rs 3.70(I gathered). which is quiet a bit for middle class car owners. Clearly, mileage is an area of improment for this car :( 

Note: if you keep your driving speed not more than 100 Kmph in highways, naturally you could improve mileage over 17 or 17.50 with AC on, your cost would be Rs 4 per KM on petrol which is better. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Steering response is very good and you would feel confident at top speed in high ways. seats, legroom and good AC are big plus in this car, My friends in the rear seat couldn't help but, sleep comfortabily be it in high way or city drive such is the quality of the ride!, But, the quality deteriorate when the roads are bumpy and noise level is a bit more, it wakes up the folks sleeping in the rear seat ;).

Actually, hyundai has done better job with suspension than earlier I10 or I20. I definitely noticed a big difference in grand I10 and it is better! But, its isnt smooth enough on bumpy roads and a bit noisy as well,  when compared with maruti swift, swift definitely gives a little better ride quality and comfort on bumpy roads. Otherwise, no difference.

Final Words

My final verdict: its definitly a classy car than swift, look and feel of both interior and exterior is excellent and loaded with features which are very useful at times. if you are not to much concerned on mileage I would highly recommend this car. Otherwise, maintainenace & service cost is of no difference from swift.

Ask yourself wheter you want to buy swift only because you save a litte in fuel and a little better comfort on bumpy roads or Grand I10 which is a lot better and futuristic in all other ways?

The grand I10 is sleek and not unncessarily bulky like swift, this helps very much in bangalore especially in small road where cars are tightly parked in either side of the roads or in city main roads on bumper to bumper traffic.

Its fantastic car for regular city drive and very good for high way drive as well. 

Note: if you are drive freak who often cross 100KMPH mark in high way I re-commend you install ABS for better safety and confidence. For others, its a fine car.

Areas of improvement  

Priority 1: Hyundai need to improve on mileage if they could add another 1.5 or 2 kms to the mileage chart and tune suspension for better ride quality on bumpy roads.  i'm sure that this would beat swift and many other hatch backs in indian market for a very long time. 

Note: both swift and grand I10 uses the same macphersion strut suspension which was invented in 1947!

Reg no KA-51MF-9550. 

 I hope my review is balanced and helps you make a fair decision! All the best, Pls comment

 

Exterior & interior styling, very responsive steering & engine, legroom both front and rear, bootCould give better mileage, No air bag or ABS even in top variants (only optional)

Good styleGood interior

Exterior Hyundai Fuidic theme gives stylish and subtle look, I like it a lot 😄. Stylish rear headlamp cluster, new curved hatch door with its handle having the Hyundai logo on it, chunky rear spoiler with stop light.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome Interior, Comfortable seats for long drive. 2-DIN music system with CD/MP3 player, USB port, AUX-in and speakers. there is a powerful AC, power windows, adjustable steering column, rear boot opener and fuel-filler, a smart-key and push-button start combination, cooled glove-box and rear parking sensors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is good, 12kmpl before 1st service.

Ride Quality & Handling Love to ride my new grand i10, smooth and steady. Sportz, in addition to the features of Magna, it comes equipped with rear parking sensors, 2DIN dash integrated music system with AUX/USB, roof rails, turn indicators mounted on the ORVMs, tilt steering, push button start/stop, cooled glove box and smart key.

Grand i10 looks like a dream hatchback, which includes power, performance, safety, style, space, economical and speed.

I purchased the New Vehicle Hyundai Grand i10 Sportz model on 14 April 2015 from the KLG Hyundai Chandigarh. There was an issue with the Accelerator/Pick up even after changing gears and the acceleration doesn't go above 20Kms. It was not understandable that how a brand new car from a great brand Hyundai would have such troubles after running just 200km approximately.

The car was towed away from my home to KLG Hyundai showroom in Hyundai recovery van for rectification on 22 May 2015. After all the diagnosis by the technicians of the KLG and Hyundai it was found that the car engine is having some defect and it has to be replaced. The new car engine assembly reached in KLG Hyundai on 5 June 2015 and it was installed by KLG and as of now the vehicle is still having the same problem. Hyundai and KLG officials are saying to again go for a new engine assembly replacement.

I haven't got any communication regarding the rectification of the Vehicle nor the status of the vehicle by concerned people, I always have to call or send an email to get the status which always went unheard by the officials.

Their customer service is pathetic , No body listen to your concerns at all.

We recently purchased Grand i10 (Petrol) Sportz model, we have driven only few km, but here are my reviews

Exterior: The car is stylish, fog lamps and headlights are sporty and apealing, Rear windscreen is bigger for a better view, chrome handles looks stylish, OVRM are electronically adjusted

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Music system is average, Start/Stop push button facility is good, AC Cooling is good, cools the car within few seconds thanks to rear AC vents. Leg room and head is too good... 3 people of average size can easily and comfortably sit at rear seats. Tilted steering helps to adjust as per our need, cooled glove box works fine. Dual color Beige and black interiors gives a semi luxury feel inside car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Gear box is smooth, easy shifting of gears. Its been just 2 days we have bought this car so no idea about its fuel efficiency but as per ARAI they are claiming as 18Km/l, i hope they give 15Km/L

Ride Quality & Handling: Ride quality is good, at sometimes on bad roads you feel jerks but not that much. The supension is not so great, but still its good you dont feel big jerk even it drives roughly through big pot holes.

Final Words: Excellent featured car in its segment, has few first time features which other cars doesnt seem to have. People with 5.5 - 6 lac budget can blindly buy this car as it is loaded with some nice features

Areas of improvement: ABS should be there at least at the second top and top variant of car, improve suspension of car

 

 

Style, Exterior, Interior, Leg room, Head room, Boot space, AC CoolingAudio system is little poor, speaker output is average, poor suspension

Exterior Very nice looks, I didn't like those cuts which are coming in new Hydraulic models of Huyndai or in almost all cheap cars of Honda. Grand i10 looks perfect beautiful.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lots of inside space, maximum boot space in this segment, without compromising on beauty or features. They have moved gear box a little bit north, which gets time to get used to. All steering wheel controls and other gizmos are of very good quality and premium feel.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very powerful and responsive engine, the same engine drives much heavier cars Xcent and i20, so you can imagine its performance. My wife is driving it in city condition so I am getting around 15 km/l mileage. I find 2nd gear sometimes difficult to make, but my wife doesn't have any problem with it. Considering gearbox was the main complaint of her in my old wagon R.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspensions are good and great ride quality.

Final Words Everything is packaged nicely in a small box with a decent price.

Areas of improvement I know everything is not possible, but still for tall person like me, I still feel comfortable in my WagonR. Most importantly due to easy entry and exit and great driving position which I found lacking in Grand i10.

Looks, Boot Space, Powerful engine response, premium feel and qualityA little cramped while entering and exiting from the car

Exterior Its is styllish and grabs a second look while on the road. Especially the front look is magnificient and sometimes gives a feel of being an i20. However the Rear looks a bit small and conjested from outside. The curves and the fluidic design is awesome and attactractive. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) High quality material is used when it comes to dashboard plastic or the doors. The dashboard is nice and user friendly. Steering controls are fabulous .. the bluetooth, the music controls are great. The overall interior gives a feel of a big car. Its spacious compared to its other counterpart. I am delighted with the interior of the car. Since whoever sits inside the car give an appreciation. Intenally its very spacious. 5+1 is easily possible, 6+1 is also possible depending on the size of the passengers.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is excellent. No/very less sound from the engine in turned on mode.  Fuel economy is however is on the lower side. 12 in city and 16 on highway.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth handling. Its a joy to ride this car even on the city roads. Highways is just a pleasure. The steering control is absolutely amazing. The suspension is excellent and dont give any hard time even on bumpy roads. Easy ride and tireless even if driven for long hours.

Final Words Great car, All the features of Big and costly car...Airbag, Reverse Sesor, Steering Controls, electronic rear view mirror, defogger, fog lights and everything that you would aspire to be in your car. Music system is good for a car as long as you dont use it for a marriage procession or as a DJ in any function.

Areas of improvement Milleage obviously. That is the only flip side of this car.

Spacious, Stylish, Smart Car, Defogger,Interior, Frontal Looks, Handling, Material QualityMilleage, Rear Looks

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.
