In the budget segment where Grand i10 Nios sits, long term reliability is a very important factor for many car buyers. All Hyundai’s have their quirks, but Hyundai is known for making reliable cars. Owners talk a lot about the Nios' performance over time: things that break after a while, the cost and frequency of maintenance, and how well different components hold up. It also invites comparison with its predecessor, the original i10, famed for its bulletproof reliability. The durability of the new features, the long term performance of the AMT gearbox, and the build quality of the whole thing are all factors. Also, discussions are frequently made about the reliability of the Nios compared with its competitors; of the same price range.
