Lo-behold, Hyundai sprung up surprise by announcing BS-VI ready small diesels; which will upgraded (for new sales) once the regulation deadline comes close. Also, it gave fair indications that the price hike would be marginal compared to what Maruti bigshots were projecting (fear mongering ??). So, suddenly, Hyundai finds all small diesel customers offered to it on a platter by poor planning/ forecasting by Maruti. Even though the overall small diesel customers are bound to reduce in BS-VI era, but still the number would be more that what Hyundai alone has catered in BS-IV times.

| ![]() Hyundai has always kept Grand i10 as a "Seller with heavy discounts" car.. Whatever be the price, consider a 75-80K discount on offer in a couple of months. |

I have three Grands in my family and none got such high discounts! My Grand Asta diesel (1.1) was the first of the lot and I got a discount of 40k that too because of our extremely close relationship with the dealership owner. Else, it was hovering around 15 - 20k. The next one came just a few months later, purchased by a first cousin who got a discount of 25k on the Petrol Asta Variant. The final one was purchased just months after the launch of facelift and my uncle again got a discount of 30k for the Diesel Asta. Though, having said that I must add the way Grand i10's price has risen a lot of consumers end up buying the Elite i20 for just a little more moolah. I bought the Grand Asta Diesel for around 6.5 lakhs on-road Calcutta. My uncle got the same for almost 8 on-road | |

After going through the review, this seems to be a decent car but it's clear if you like driving, Swift is the better of the 2. Last edited by Aditya : 29th August 2019 at 16:49. Reason: Back to back posts merged | |

| ![]() A bit off topic but I just couldn’t miss the irony in the shot from a review of the new age car. Look closer to the left of the car. (While watching on TV it was right there in your face!) |

| ![]() I had the opportunity for a short drive in the NIOS. While the car looked good in pictures, in person, the car didn't look so good. The rear, in particular, seemed deformed and out of place with the rest of the design. The previous gen i10 looked much better proportioned. The drive itself was uneventful. The car performed as expected from a Hyundai and cost classification. But I was disappointed with the build feel of the car. I have the first generation i10 which is 8yrs old now and it feels much more solid and well put than this iteration. It felt too "tinny" or flimsy compared to the 1st gen i10. The build feels similar to the current Santro. For a the top end, which is nearly 9 lakhs on road in my place, I feel, the car needs to have a lot more premium feel. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() The kerb weight and turning radius of the car is not mentioned in the official brochure. Any idea how much it is. Also the alloy wheel width. Basically want to know if an upsize of 195/55/15 will fit on the current alloy with out issues. |
