Is the Hyundai Grand i10 a good car?
When the first Grand i10 range arrived in 2014, it established itself as a value-packed hatchback from the Korean automaker. Since then, the nameplate has become a well-respected one for its reliability, frugality and stylish design. The newest variants, which arrived in August 2023, still retain these credentials and are indeed a good car.

The Hyundai Grand i10 is a good car for young or older individuals or small families looking for a frugal and compact city runaround.

What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
The Kappa engine in this application doesn't really need to be revved out to get the most out of it, although it doesn't mind being revved in some instances. The gear ratios aren't set for breakneck acceleration or taller gears but are in a nice medium. Regarding handling, the Grand i10 is quite compliant for everyday commuting, although a more connected steering feel would be welcomed. Highway manners are behaved, and the vehicle isn't easily unsettled.

What is the Hyundai Grand i10 like inside?
The Grand i10 may be small, but it's roomy inside. The utilisation of space is done pretty well here. Interior aesthetics-wise, it's less radical than the exterior but feels trendy and welcoming. The black and silver colour palette and red seat piping accents are attractive in this vehicle. The seats are partial leather.

Style
The front fascia resembles a piranha with the larger honeycomb grille and scowling headlights with the tri-arrow daytime running lights flanking the large grille, much more presence than the pre-facelift model. The side profile is more or less the same as the pre-facelift, but it still looks trendy. The rear section now has a light bar and even a tiny diffuser trim piece.
