      The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios is an excellent car with almost everything you need. It requires no frequent maintenance, offers good suspension and mileage, and provides a very comfortable driving experience. The color options, lighting, and smooth air conditioning are all top-notch. There's no unwanted noise or pollution, and the cushioned seats add to the comfort. It has smooth handling, a strong and heavy body, high ground clearance, and a great music system. Overall, it’s a smooth, reliable, and well-equipped hatchback.

      Its a value for money car and yes you do get discounts while buying one. The car engine is silent and smooth. The amt gear shifts are almost noticeable but you get used to it obviously. The Sportz variant is actually enough with all the major important features like cruise control, touch screen infotainment, 6 airbags, traction control, hill hold assist, tpms (tire pressure monitoring), auto headlamps. It has decent cabin space being a 6 feet guy. I use it to travel from Navi Mumbai to Powai for office, getting an ideal fuel efficieny of 12 to 14kmpl depending on the level of traffic you are stuck. The projector headlight throw is good enough. AC cooling is a good one. The bootspace is decent enough to get in 2 cabin check in baggages. While i sit on driving seat being a 6 feet guy the rear passenger does has enough leg room too. The power output it decent. The infotainment system has wireless android and apple car play and decent speakers to keep you entertained and well informed about the roads. Hyundai has good service. Overall is a very value for money family car.
