Hyundai i10 Grand Sportz (O) Diesel (Old Model) Updates

Wednesday, 01 February 2023 08:30 AM Hyundai has discontinued the diesel variant of the Grand i10 Nios, along with the turbo petrol variant, to comply with upcoming emission norms. This move leaves the 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine as the sole option. I think this decision might affect the appeal of the car for those who prefer diesel engines.

Friday, 09 September 2022 10:58 AM The old Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Diesel, powered by a 1.2-liter U2 CRDi engine, offered 75PS of power and 190Nm of torque. This made it quite peppy in city driving but less responsive on highways. I believe the diesel engine was a strong point for this car, especially for urban use.

Wednesday, 15 June 2022 01:26 PM The previous version of the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, including the diesel variant, scored only two stars in the Global NCAP safety test in 2020. This raised concerns about the structural integrity and safety features of the vehicle. I think Hyundai should have addressed these issues sooner.

Sunday, 20 March 2022 11:59 PM The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Diesel was known for its fuel efficiency, returning around 19.23 kmpl in the city and 22.19 kmpl on the highway. This made it a favorite among those looking for a economical and reliable hatchback. I think the fuel efficiency was one of its strongest selling points.

Monday, 10 January 2022 03:58 PM The old Grand i10 Nios Diesel came with a 5-speed manual transmission, which was praised for its smooth and precise gear shifts. The transmission made driving in both city and highway conditions comfortable. I believe the transmission was well-suited for the engines power output.

Monday, 15 November 2021 01:16 PM The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Diesel was positioned as a mid-range hatchback, competing with the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Swift and Tata Tiago. It was priced between Rs. 6.5 lakh to Rs. 7.5 lakh (ex-showroom), making it an attractive option for many buyers. I think it held its ground well in the competitive hatchback segment.

Friday, 20 August 2021 04:47 PM The old Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Diesel came with several features such as a digital odometer, air conditioner, rear AC vents, and a touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. These features made the car feel premium and comfortable. I believe the feature list was quite comprehensive for its segment.

Tuesday, 25 May 2021 06:26 PM The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Diesel had a subtle yet appealing design, with a matured Fluidic Design language. The car featured projector fog lamps, which were a segment first, and a well-laid-out cabin. I think the design was a step up from its predecessor.

Tuesday, 20 August 2019 01:58 PM The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Diesel was launched in India in 2019, with prices starting from Rs. 6.5 lakh (ex-showroom). The launch was part of Hyundais strategy to update its affordable models and stay competitive in the market. I believe the launch was well-timed to capture market share.

Saturday, 15 June 2019 12:15 PM Before its launch, there was speculation that the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Diesel would come with significant updates, including a new 1.2-liter diesel engine and enhanced safety features. The anticipation was high, given the success of the previous Grand i10 models. I think the speculation helped build a lot of excitement around the car.
