If you're looking for a new car, you've probably heard about the Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS. But what is it? How much does it cost, and is it any good? Let's take a look at some of the features of the newest Hyundai sedan. Among them, it has a 1.2-liter petrol engine, an eAMT gearbox, and Pedestrian safety regulation.
1.2-liter Petrol Engine:
If you're looking for a family car that offers good mileage but isn't overly sporty, consider the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios. This model is sophisticated, feature-packed, and practical, yet the car doesn't get a bad reputation for being unremarkable. That's about to change, however, as the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios now comes with a hot turbocharged petrol engine.
eAMT Gearbox:
The new Hyundai i10 Nios has been made with a more advanced engine than its predecessor. Its 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine is capable of producing 99 BHP at 6,000 rpm and 172 Nm of torque between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm. It comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine and gearbox combination are priced on the higher end of the market.
Pedestrian Safety Regulation:
The new Hyundai Grand i10 Nios meets the future pedestrian safety regulation. Its front crash beam has been stiffened by applying a lower stiffener. Other safety features include a standard ABS with EBD, dual airbags, and seatbelt pretensioners. It also comes with Hyundai's India First - Variable Basic Warranty and Road-Side Assistance.
Interior:
The interior of the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios is pleasantly spacious, and is fitted with a wealth of comfort and convenience features. It is surprisingly affordable, and the base variant lacks only rear AC vents and adjustable steering. The car also has no cruise control, which is disappointing, but this can be remedied in a later model. Hyundai has made it easy for people to find the right level of luxury for their lifestyle, too.
Ride and Handling:
The ride and handling of the Hyundai Grand I10 Nios is good for a small hatchback. The Nios uses McPherson struts and coil springs at the front and a coupled torsion beam at the rear. The Nios doesn't bounce around on bumpy roads and feels comfortable on the expressway. Its handling is also good, if not great, and it copes with smaller potholes easily.
