The Hyundai Grand i10 has been a favorite among consumers looking for a reliable and affordable entry-level option with practicality and safety features. While SUVs may be the trend, compact passenger hatchbacks like the Grand i10 continue to appeal to buyers due to their cost-effectiveness, especially in terms of fuel efficiency.

The Grand i10 is a popular choice for university students, small families, and couples looking for a daily runabout. Built in India, this model has been a hit globally, serving as the successor to the Getz. In South Africa alone, over 49,000 units were sold between 2014 and 2020.

Hyundai’s diverse lineup of vehicles, including hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, and more, contributes to their strong customer retention and monthly sales figures. The Grand i10 comes in two trim levels and offers two engine options: a 1.0-liter three-cylinder and a 1.2-liter four-cylinder. Both engines are available with either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual gearbox.

The 1.2 Fluid model we tested came well-equipped with LED daytime running lights, cruise control, electric windows, a touch infotainment system, and more. In terms of safety, the car is equipped with ABS, driver and passenger airbags, rear park camera, and rear park assist.

In terms of competition, the Grand i10 competes with models like the Suzuki Swift and Kia Picanto in the B-segment hatchback market. The stylish design, spacious interior, and improved boot capacity of 360 liters make it a strong contender in its segment.

When it comes to driving, the 1.2-liter engine offers decent power and torque, while the manual gearbox provides better fuel economy. During our test drive, we achieved an impressive fuel consumption rate of 4.9-liters per 100km, surpassing the manufacturer’s claims.

Overall, the Hyundai Grand i10 offers a good package with its fuel efficiency, practicality, and affordable pricing. With a starting price of R234,500, the Grand i10 remains a value-for-money option in the market. Additionally, Hyundai offers a comprehensive warranty package, including a 5-year/150,000km manufacturer’s warranty and a 1-year/15,000km service plan.
