Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS: The smart hatchback for new India

The Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS is a perfect recipe for success as the stylish premium hatchback comes with a premium cabin, new-age features, and robust safety credentials.

Stylish Design: One look at the Grand i10 NIOS and you’ll know this car is really special. Hyundai is known for its artistic ability and with the new Grand i10 NIOS, it has taken the design game to another level. Up front, the striking design of NIOS is defined by the creased bonnet, glossy black radiator grille, and uniquely placed boomerang-shaped LED DRLs. Both the headlamp and fog lamp units have projector elements that not only enhance the visual appeal but also infuse practicality by providing a powerful beam for safe night driving. In profile, the diamond-cut alloy wheels and chrome outside door handles help the NIOS score big on style. The subtle touches of the blacked-out C-pillar and G-i10 branding also gives a fillip to overall aesthetics. At the back, the wrap-around tail lamps, shark fin antenna, rear skid plate, and chrome garnish are some of the design highlights which underscore the premium appeal of the NIOS.

Premium Interiors: The cabin of the NIOS is ultra-spacious thanks to the increased wheelbase of the car. This comfort is further accentuated by the provision of rear AC vents which help back seat passengers stay cool even in the sweltering summers. The first-in-segment Eco coating technology used in NIOS helps the AC system perform optimally and release fresh air into the cabin. Rear passengers also get access to a power outlet which along with a cooled glovebox and seatback pockets enhance the practicality of the cabin.

Hyundai has redefined standards of luxury with Grand i10 NIOS. The fit and finish of the cabin are incomparable and thanks to the sharp focus on the ergonomics, the NIOS comes across as a very sorted car. Controls are easy to reach, intuitive to use, and offer a very premium and tactile feel. The multifunction steering wheel is chunky to hold and the console-mounted gear lever is a joy to use. Hyundai has also jazzed up the cabin by offering two interior color packs to choose from: Red and Blue.

The 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the Grand NIOS is a best-in-class feature and comes with smartphone connectivity. For charging needs, there is a first-in-class wireless charging system on NIOS which makes sure that your phone never runs out of juice. Another addition to the long list of the first-in-class features is the driver rearview monitor which makes those tight parking maneuvers a child’s play.

For driver convenience, a large 5.2-inch instrument cluster hosts a digital speedometer that structures important information in a very legible manner. It is indeed delightful that Hyundai has decided to provide an Arkamys premium sound system in NIOS as we usually find this feature only in luxurious, high-end cars. Other significant features on NIOS include Hyundai i-Blue smartphone remote app, engine start-stop button, automatic climate control, driver seat height adjustment, and rear washer/wiper and defogger.

Performance and Safety: In order to provide the highest standards of safety to occupants, Grand i10 NIOS comes with dual front airbags with pretensioners, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors as a standard part of equipment across all variants. This coupled with the structure of NIOS that is built with 65% AHSS and HSS make the car absolutely safe for occupants. An emergency stop signal is another valuable addition to the overall safety of NIOS.

Peace of Mind: Grand i10 NIOS comes with the lowest maintenance cost in its segment. This coupled with an industry-leading 5 years/1,00,000 km warranty and 3 years of free roadside assistance provide buyers complete peace of mind ownership experience. There is a range of innovative and attractive financial offers from Hyundai including the EMI Assurance program that can be availed in case the customer decides to finance the purchase of Grand i10 NIOS.

Conclusion: The Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS has refined the concept of Smart Hatchback in India. Not only is the car styled futuristically, it also comes with a premium cabin equipped with many first-in-class and best-in-class features. No wonder, Grand i10 NIOS continues to remain the preferred choice of young, smart India.
