Top 3 things you need to know about the Hyundai Grand i10

If you're looking to buy a compact city car but you can't decide which one, let's shed some light as to why the Grand i10 is a great choice indeed.

Buying a Car

1. It really is quite grand...

If you're looking for space on the rear seat, you've come to the right place. The Hyundai Grand i10 boasts more rear legroom than the back of a Toyota Hilux Double CabAnd this isn't just a manner of speaking but a proven theory. You can read all about it in our review namely 9 out of Grand i10. Get ready to have your youngsters (or parents) kicking back and relaxing in the back of the Grand i10.

2. It has the same upmarket infotainment system as the Hyundai Tucson

The Grand i10 is the small city car with large SUV features. Fluid and Glide derivatives have the same large colour touchscreen system as their much bigger brother, the Tucson, and its smaller stablemate, the Hyundai Creta. With satellite buttons on the steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity and USB/AUX ports, all entertainment is sorted for your road trip. And if you're concerned about build quality, don't be. The i10 Grand (and all of its switchgear) is solid and durable, making it a great little city car for small families.

3. It is immense fun to drive

If your budget stretches a little further or you're considering a used Grand i10, the 1.25-litre models are worth the extra dough. 64 kW and 120Nm doesn't look like bucket loads of power, but it feels rather zippy when you're driving it. The Grand i10's body is small and light so its power-to-weight-ratio is not te be sniffed at.

Furthermore, the Grand i10 clings to the road like its nobody's business, is nimble, lithe, and fleet-footed in and out of corners and can dextrously weave its way through traffic. A total win if you can't bear the clinical day-to-day commute in a lofty old sedan or a high-riding SUV: this is driving enjoyment on a budget!
