The Grand i10 Nios has become popular for its smooth drive, peppy engine, and feature rich interior. But it’s 2 star GNCAP safety rating is worrying, considering its competitors, such as the Tata Tiago with a 4 star rating. For buyers, who consider comfort as the topmost priority they tend to face this dilemma often. There are those who feel that the Nios' reliability and Hyundai's after sales service trump safety concerns and others who feel that it is not worth compromising on safety. Even the debate continues for whether the safety features like 6 airbags and ESC in higher variants, make up for the structural integrity of the car. Also, the car’s safety aspects depend on its performance on highways than city driving.
