What is grand about the i10?
The latest Hyundai Grand i10 was introduced in 2018 and has become a favourite within the range. The little car is big on features however, if you want to add extra bits to your car, be cautious as you might put the impressive service plan and warranty at risk.

What should you consider adding?
While the Hyundai Grand i10 is jam-packed with a variety of luxury and safety items, one can add to the car to improve on these items.
1. Wheels
One of the biggest visual enhancements that can be made to any car are the rims. The standard rims offered on the car are nice but they don’t offer ‘wow’ factor. The Grand i10 runs on 165/65 R14 tyres at each end and to add new, quality rims will cost about R1 900 each depending on brand.
2. Smash and Grab tint
South Africa is unfortunately high risk when it comes to smash and grab incidents. It is for this reason that adding a smash and grab or protective window tint to your car is recommended. These tints not only help deter criminals, they also provide increased safety in an accident by preventing glass from shattering. One of the biggest latent issues with people after an accident is glass dust in their eyes. These tints also darken the windows and protect the interior from harmful UV rays during out hot summers.
3. Vehicle tracking
Another feature worth considering is a vehicle tracking system. While the Hyundai Grand i10 is not considered a high risk vehicle, the tracking system will enable other benefits. As these vehicles are ideal for students, a modern tracking system can be activated via a smartphone app which means that parents or guardians can track the location of the vehicle at all times, gather driving information and more.
It is important to consider added value when fitting accessories to your car. As an asset you want to increase its value as best you can. Adding extra safety items as those mentioned above could potentially decrease your insurance premium and increase the cars resale value.
