ஹூண்டாய் கிராண்ட் i10 [2013-2017] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

I have brought Grand I 10 Asta pertol in March 2014.

Battery drain was the first problem I faced & my dealer took it next day & returned the same back after charging it a day after. I dont know what Hyuandai is doing about it.

Second issue I faced was blower is getting switched ON on start up of Car. Problem has not been resolved by Hyuandai Dealers/ Service even after 1 week of complaint quoting non avaliability of spares for rectification.                                                                                                                                                                                                  

SpaceBattery, Blower problem

Exterior Strictly ok.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Satisfactory.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words NA.

Areas of improvement On the technical front, grand i10 is pretty good, you’ve read all the reviews. Its not the best car i’ve driven, but its fine and easy to get accustomed to, My problem is with the service during and after sale:

I settled for it because it was comfortable to drive, had decent features and most importantly, I was told the delivery would be “immediate”. Would you have ever guessed that meant almost 2 months!! when I booked the car, I was told the delivery would be within 2 weeks thereafter, nothin and the excuses were ridiculous. Not yet left chennai (after sayin’ that the car had left chennai 10 days ago!).  “left chennai (2wks ago) but not yet reached bombay”, “reached bom but registration will take 4 working days (instead it took 2 weeks!!)”. As a result, though I had paid up for the car in full (about 7.4 lakhs for the premium model), I was asked to dole out more at the time of delivery as the insurance charges had gone up! decency dictates they should’ve absorbed that as I had already paid for the car in full but whatever. Anyway, relieved to finally get my car, the excitement had long died with the delays.

3 months down, I get a call that my service is due we set up a day and time for the car to be picked up I was just back from hospital after surgery so when the driver came to collect the car, my dad showed him a scratch on the body that he requested to be touched up a note was made. The car was taken. I got a call from the chunna bhatti workshop asking if I had any issues with the car. I said it seemed fine to me, but I hadn’t driven it in the past 10 days (due to my surgery) so requested him to check again, I reminded him about the scratch that I required touched up he said the shade would vary slightly. I said that was fine, he also suggested I get the anti-rust coating applied on the silencer and the engine, setting me back by another 1,600 bucks, the car was to be delivered the same day. I got a call in the eve from the workshop asking if it was ok if the driver delivered the car the following day as it was raining. I agreed. The following day the driver delivered the car, he handed me the keys got all the papers signed by me sayin’ that everything was done 2 my satisfaction, I paid him the money. My mom gathered the car cover, so that we could place it in the boot. we took the stairs to go down, the driver took the lift by the time we got down, he had already left! He did not even wait for us to check the car. on checking the car, the touch-up was not done and when we tried to open the boot, it just wouldn’t open! (now that’s new!), I went back up and called customer service at the Modi showroom as the workshop number was not reachable. she told me she’d get back 2 me  half an hour later I called her back she told me she couldn’t get a hold of anyone at the workshop I gave her a sound hearing an hour later, a lady from the workshop called, I narrated my experience once more. she said she’d look into it (how reassuring!). its been 6 hrs now i guess she’s still lookin’.

Granted, i was very stupid to sign and give him the money before checking the car but i thought the company and its people had more integrity than that I had heard about the bad after-sales service experience many of my acquaintances had but I went against my better judgement and thought that maybe it was in the past everyone there was being polite and courteous. I learnt the hard way that that means absolutely nothing. The apathy and helplessness is astonishing I would gladly sell off this car and go in for a honda, which was my first choice but the waiting period was too long. With the condition in which the car is returned, what is the guarantee that the anti-rust coating was even applied? take their word for it? like that means swat!

my suggestion, if u don’t care much for after-sales support, and want mainly the features, go 4 it else save ur hard-earned money and time. go for it if you have the time and inclination to fight on petty grounds. else save yourself the stress.

features, performanceservice on all fronts

Exterior

 Good Looking and features, If you are locking the car then Mirrors will be closed, Poor lighting in highways with fog lamps.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Smart key ignition so no need to worry about forgetting of key because it will be in your pocket but should be careful while going out,  It indicates what gear we need to put while driving, Music Controllers with driver steering, Front and back Power windows, Fornt and rear AC winds , Charging facility for front and back, Driver seat is adjustable, Comfortness is good

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Good pickup without AC, Great with city drive but not great with highway due to pickup, Good Efficiency i got 22kmpl, Bit confusion with rivers gear

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good Handling in highway

Final Words

 I liked a lot inside the city due to features like audio controllers, Call handling via bluetooth, trip advisor and fuel economy

Areas of improvement  

 Need to imporve the engine, Lighting because cost is too high.

 

Good Looking, Good options inside the car, Good in city drivePickup is slow in highways, NO GPS and CAM for top model

Exterior

looks awesome, 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 features are good, space is also good. comfortable for long journey in this segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine vibrates a lot if you open bonnet, but you wont feel it when you are inside the car. fuel Economy is excellent- 19-20 kmpl in city like Delhi. Gear box is also very smooth. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 handling is very much comfortable, but riding on little bumpy roads is irritating as noise comes from various parts like dashboard, seats.

Final Words

 it is ultimately Value for money car, good choice for 1st time buyer as i was the one. i am more thn satiesfied with my car.

Areas of improvement  

 foot rest must be there as it is made for city,

suspensions should be softer to have more comfort on bumpy roads, acceleration is not upto the mark.

 accesories like gear lock is not availble, so need to avail the same.

Fuel economy, Comfortable for city as well as highway driving, look, interiorsuspensions hard, noise from dashboard

Exterior

The exterior is pleasant to the eye. With its curvy figure, it scores high on looks.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

This car is loaded with features for the price you pay. The interiors are smooth, Beige and black make it look spacious, the seats are well placed and comfortable, leg room is sufficient too.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The diesel engine is a 1.1l CRDI engine which produces 70bhp, which lacks the growl present in probably a Swift or a Liva or even Figo for that matter. Fuel economy although is superb with a figure of 18-22 kmpl with AC. Gearbox is smooth. gear shifting is as smooth as it gets. 

 

Ride Quality & Handling

The ride quality is above its class. Driving on 120+ on highways and you don't feel a thing. The steering column is so responsive to the speed variations.

 

Final Words

A perfect buy for its class. Swift being the closest competitor loses out on features and comfort in the car (although it scores ona bigger engine).

For an individual travelling within the city primarily has to buy this one.

 

Areas of improvement  

The wiper quality is very ordinary. Engine has insufficient power on open roads (not an issue withinm the city).

 

 

Pricing, Fuel economy, Space, LooksPower, Wipers,

The Exterior is greaty for the price you pay, its nice looking and modern.

Interior is good, however I have the leather seats, I dont like the material seats in this car.

this car is very comfortable, has enough features, everything you should need, and the space-even boot space is enough for me, I took it shopping for christmas things and coudl fit all of my stuff in the boot.

the engine Performance is good, exactly what you woudl expect of a little cart like this.its not the very fastest, but then its not what the car is ment for.its small and economical, pulls away fast enough for me, its all you need.

Fuel Economy im still busy measuring, the tank is lasting me quite long so far, happy so far.it will definately be a cost saver, i can see it already.

the quality and handling on this car i reckon is great, it feels like good quality,the car is insulated well and has little to no noise and drives effortlessly without any rattling-problems.

i have weighed up the pro's and cons on this car against others like the picanto, aygo, micra,and etios, i prefer the grand i10, and i love it so much, its the best you can get for this price, and you wont be dissapointed.

if any improvement were to be made on this car, i think rear park sensors should be added without the extra cost, LED fog lights to be added,and perhaps cruise control..then this will be my dream car:). But for now its awsome.

I love the interior and level of comfortThe ads show that the car comes with LED fog lights, however it doesnt. dissapointing

Exterior

 Looks awesome, My wife and me picked it in first look😊

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Very good space, even 3 healthy people on rear seat with a small kid ddn't feel it uncomfirtable

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Smooth engine and Gear shift, Very nice pickup, fuel economy is about 10-12 since I have driven it most of the time in city only, and still first service is pending. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Till now don't have any issues, it is good

Final Words

 Now, only driven few hundered kms, need to get expirence with the car more to get final review about the car.

Areas of improvement 

Service quality need improvement.

I brought new Hyundai Grand i10 Sportz Petrol, on 10-Dec-2014, Pure white colored, from Prince Hyundai Ujjain. This car is really awesome, nice pickup, very good gear shift, I have nice driving expirence with this car. 

But dealer expirence is not so good. After few days after car get delivered I got a small bump on left hand side bumper, Car got some minor scratches, and the fog lamp was distrubed from it orignal location. When I call company executive, to get car repaired, he said their workshop will take some time to start(and suggest to get car repair from outsider!!!), thus I went to local workshop and get fog lamp attached, There the mechanic who seems to very expirenced and humble said that this car was bumped earlier also. I shows me some paint on fog lamp front grill, also the bumper was already cracked, and thus when It was bumped again, the paint was removed, there I saw some putty work as well. 

 

Again then just few day back when I was driving, I heared some sound from below engine. I found that engine splash pan was broken, I removed it, but what I found is there was so much paint over the pan, from same left hand side. It is very clear from these that car was painted after coming from factory. 

 

Now it's already being 1 month I don't even provided invoice any paper for my car. Two day back when visited them they just give me insurance cover note, and their executive said they will inform me about invoice and RC in 1 or 2 hours. but till now I don't have any call from them.

 

Before choosing Grand I10 I was going to buy Swift, but I feel like cheated, since Maruti has very good after sales services. But with Hyundai I have no service, I am eager to get my car repaired, but their is no sign when their workshop will start, as they said it would start from 15 Dec, then from 1 Jan, now saying from 10 Jan workshop will start, but don't know when it will start?

 

Good stylish car, nice pickup, and gearshiftBad Dealer expirence

Exterior In latest Sportz Version, crome handle doors are replaced with body colour handle doors. Those who are giving priority to external looks has to think twice before going to this variant as these crome handles and alloy wheels are playing an important role for external display. Also rear defogger has been added in sportz variant which will help us to clear the fog deposited on the rear glass. But this variant is not provided with rear viper.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The steering wheel has be provided with audio controls and Blutooth interface. Except steering wheel leather cover, Seat adjustment and Push button start, the interiors are identical to that of its higher variant Asta.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Comfortable during test drive.

Ride Quality & Handling Very impressive.

Final Words If anyone wants a car with impressive looks and comforts with reasonable budget, this car is the ideal one. Except mileage factor, this car satisfies every thing.

Areas of improvement During pickup it is lagging a bit when ac compressor is on. Rear view mirror vision to be improved.

Comforts, Interiors, Handling, LooksPick Up, Mileage

I bought grand i10 asta (o) Petrol 10 months back. Space is very good, Very smooth and comfortable. Handling, controls, breaks is awesum. It equipped with all controls, rear ac vent, cooled glove box. There is a confusion for some about EBD but EBD system is  always coupled with anti-lock brake-force system. http://www.carblogindia.com/abs-anti-lock-braking-system-and-ebd-electronic-brake-force-distribution-in-plain-english/

Exterior

 I think everyone like it so no need to say anything here

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Nonstop drive for 400km without any problem.. very comfortable 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I have completed above 5000km, Engine performance is good even in the up hill drive. Mileage in city (bangalore) 11-12 kmpl and on highway 16-17 kmpl. I really like the Gearbox.. its very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling

 excellent

Final Words

 I would say its a best car in this segement... so go for it. 

Areas of improvement  

Ground clearance and suspension only i feel need some improvement... I feel uncomfortable with the power button option if I just want to keep on my music system then I need to turn off the engine then press again to start
