Grand i10 was sold in India for several years and there were changes to its engines and features during this time. The facelifted model sold around 2018 had 1.2-litre petrol and diesel engines. Petrol versions were available with manual and automatic gearboxes while the diesel was manual only. CNG was also offered on selected versions during the later years.
The 1.2-litre Kappa petrol is a four-cylinder engine with 1197 cc displacement. It produces 83 PS at 6,000 rpm and 114 Nm at 4,000 rpm. A 5-speed manual was standard and a 4-speed automatic was available on selected petrol variants. The 1186 cc U2 CRDi diesel is a three-cylinder engine producing 75 PS and 190 Nm. It was available with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Depending on the variant, the Grand i10 gets rear AC vents, all four power windows, electrically adjustable and folding ORVMs, steering-mounted controls and a cooled glove box. Sportz and Asta versions get the 7-inch touchscreen with smartphone connectivity. Asta adds automatic climate control, push-button start, driver-seat height adjustment and adjustable rear headrests. There is good headroom inside and enough space for four adults.
The Grand i10 2018 petrol manual had a claimed fuel efficiency of 18.9 km/l, while the diesel was rated at 24 km/l. The petrol automatic gave lower claimed mileage than the manual. The petrol engine is smoother and quieter. The diesel makes more noise but has better pickup and feels stronger with passengers inside. Mileage on a used Grand i10 will also depend on the condition of the engine and how the car has been maintained.
Later Grand i10 models came with dual front airbags and ABS with EBD as standard. Higher variants also get rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera and rear defogger. Safety equipment was changed during the car's time in India, so older models may not have the same features as a Grand i10 2018 or 2019 model.
The Grand i10 is bigger than the older Hyundai i10 but it is still a small car and doesn't feel difficult to drive in the city. There is good headroom for front and rear passengers. Two adults can sit comfortably in the back. If three adults sit there, they might have to squeeze a little. The 165 mm ground clearance is okay for normal roads, though care is needed on large speed breakers when the car is fully loaded.

"I am using the Grand i10 petrol variant for 5 years. It’s easy to handle in traffic, has a super smooth clutch, and the AC is solid. No fancy stuff, but very reliable. Perfect for daily runs."
"My 2016 Grand i10 still feels solid. The engine’s smooth, and ride comfort is good even now. It looks a bit old now but works fine for daily city use."

"This was my first car, and I loved how easy it was to drive. Light steering, smooth gear shifts, and comfy seats. No stress while parking either. Very beginner-friendly."
"Got this as a second car for the house. It's not loaded with features but works without fuss. Gets decent mileage and handles speed breakers well. A good workhorse."
"I have driven this mostly in Delhi traffic, and it’s super easy to manage. AC chills fast, and the rear vents are a big plus. The cabin stays quiet, too. Happy with it."
"For a hatch, it’s surprisingly roomy. My diesel Grand i10 gets great mileage on highways. Drives well, and I’ve had no issues in three years. Feels like value for money."
"I have been using the Grand i10 for 5 years. It has a smooth clutch, super functional AC and is also easy to handle in traffic. There are no fancy features, but it is very reliable for daily runs."

"It's super easy to manage in Delhi traffic. The AC works fast, and the rear vents have been a big plus. Happy that the cabin stays quiet, too. "
"The car is comfortable and interiors are also good for an old hatchback. Mine had some noise from the front suspension after buying and I had to get a few parts changed. After that its running fine. Better to check this properly before buying a used one."
"I did not feel the need for a top model so bought Magna petrol. Rear AC vent is useful in summers and all four power windows are there. The engine is smooth even after so many years. The bootspace is also decent and we manage our luggage without any problem."
"Mine is 2018 petrol and still using it daily. The engine is very silent and AC also works well. The back seat has enough space for my parents. With 5 adults it gets a little crowded but otherwise no issue."
"I have a Magna automatic and bought it used around two years back. I didn't want a manual again because of office traffic. The gearbox is smooth for normal driving but not very quick when you suddenly accelerate. Mileage is also not that great."
"My Grand i10 diesel has crossed 80k kms. Mileage is still good and pickup is nice even when 4 people are travelling. Engine sound is there, especially in the morning. Maintenance has been normal till now, nothing major."

The cruise control option is available in the Sportz and Asta variants. In the Sportz model, it is available only with the petrol variants and is unavailable with the CNG variants.
