Final Takeaway
While both the new-generation Maruti Swift and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios are good choices if you are looking for a mid-size hatchback, the Swift still has an edge with equipment like LED headlights, LED fog lamps, a bigger touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. However, these additional features also make it a bit pricier than the Grand i10 Nios. In the long run, you also have the benefit of Maruti’s service network and running costs over the Hyundai hatchback.
However, if you can compromise on those features to save a little, the Grand i10 Nios is still a great choice. Additionally, if you specifically require a CNG hatchback, Hyundai is your only option right now.
