How is it different from the Grand i10?

The Grand i10 has more spacious cabin to comfortably seat five people and at the same time, the glass area is also more that makes it roomier than the European version. Hyundai has designed the Grand i10 for the Indian market and the results are visible. The Grand i10 has been designed for the Indian market and it doesn't feel like an after-thought. The Grand i10 also gets rear AC vents that isn't there in the European version, and this means it cool the cabin faster.
