Hyundai Grand i10 Removed From Indian Website: Hatchback Discontinued?

The Grand i10 hatchback successfully replaced the i10 hatchback sold in the previous decade. However, the company has already launched a new-generation model called the Grand i10 Nios. The new-gen and the old-gen Grand i10 hatchback were sold alongside.

Hyundai is offering the Santro, the Grand i10 Nios and the i20 premium hatchback in the Indian market. The Grand i10 was placed in between the Santro and the new-gen Nios hatchback. However, compared to other models in the line-up, the Grand i10 features aged design.

Hyundai did upgrade the Grand i10 with a couple of facelifts and features additions over the lifecycle of the product in the market. Because of having a new-generation model already in its line-up, the company might have permanently discontinued the Grand i10 from the market.

The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, which has replaced the hatchback is offered in a host of engine options as compared to its predecessor model. This includes the 1.2-litre diesel engine producing 74bhp and 190Nm of torque.

The 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 81bhp and 114Nm of torque. And the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine producing 100bhp and 172Nm of torque. The engines are offered with both manual and automatic transmission options.

The hatchback is loaded with technology including a touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear ac vents, multiple airbags, and ABS with EBD; among others. The Grand i10 Nios currently retails between Rs 5.12 lakh and 7.24 lakh, ex-showroom (Delhi).
