Hyundai has confirmed that the third-gen i10 for Europe will feature its Blue Link connected car technology. Hyundai has not yet confirmed if the Blue Link tech will be offered on the  Grand i10 Nios. The chances of the Grand i10 Nios receiving this tech is rather slim as the official images of the car does not showcase the IRVM with certain controls for Blue Link like seen on the Venue. However, it will come with wireless smartphone charging, which is a feature that is generally reserved for cars a couple of segments above.

The new i10 has been spotted undergoing tests on public roads in Europe. From the spy images, it clear that the i10 shares details such as the headlights with the Grand i10 Nios. However, the Euro-spec hatch looks a lot more funkier than the Nios.
