Automatic Climate Control

Step inside and you'll see the automatic climate control in this entry-level Hyundai car. Additionally, from the second trim, Magna, the i10 gets rear AC vents, which are helpful, as the second-row passengers can get very uncomfortable in the scorching summers.
Variants Available:
Auto climate control starts from the Sportz variant and is available up to the top-end Asta variant.
Competitor Check:
Tata Tiago and Maruti Suzuki Swift are the main rivals of the i10, and both are equipped with automatic climate control.
8-Inch Infotainment Touchscreen

It features a 8-inch touchscreen with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay accessibility. The interface of this screen is very easy to understand and quick, so even elderly people can operate it easily. Additionally, it comes with a rear camera along with guidelines, making parking a less intimidating task for new drivers.
Variants Available:
This feature is added from the Sportz variant of the i10 Nios.
Competitor Check:
Tata Tiago features the largest infotainment touchscreen in the segment of 10.24 inch and it also has a wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. On the other hand, the Swift boasts a 9 inch touchscreen.
Cruise Control

To achieve maximum mileage from the engine, set your cruise control somewhere between 80 to 85 km/h and witness your Grand i10 delivering mileage above 19 kmpl. This is one of the most demanded features, as it allows the driver to rest their foot and enjoy the drive. One important thing to note is that cruise control only operates at speeds above 50 km/h.
Variants Available:
From Sportz trim, this feature starts.
Competitors Check:
Cruise control is available in both rivals, but only in the top variants, unlike the i10, which offers it from the middle variants.
Wireless Charging Pad

So what if you forgot your charging cable? The wireless pad in the Grand i10 NIOS can charge your phone at high speed. This technological update has turned out to be a lifesaver, as many times people forget their cables and have to ask others for one. Also, the size of the pad is sufficient to accommodate large phones like the iPhone 15 Plus.
Variants Available:
This feature is only available in the top-spec Asta and Sportz, but only with the dual-tone finish. Strange, because the second top-spec Sportz (O) misses out on it.
Competitors Check:
- Maruti Suzuki Swift offers wireless charging only in the top two variants - ZXi and ZXi+. However, the Tiago misses out on it.
Keyless Entry

The request sensor on the driver's chrome door handle unlocks the car, even if you have the keys in your pocket. This feature is cool because you don't need to use the keys all the time. Some other features within the standard segment are the Driver rear view monitor (DRVM), speed alert system, and Emergency stop signal (1st in the segment).
Variants Available:
Standard across all varaints.
Competitors Check:
Keyless entry is standard on both the Maruti Swift and the Tata Tiago.
CNG Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS

Hyundai also offers a bi-fuel option with a 60L CNG tank, paired with the 1.2L Kappa petrol engine, producing 69 PS and 95.2 Nm of torque. However, this is only available with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the ICE version also offers a 5-speed AMT. The Grand i10 NIOS CNG delivers a mileage of 22.19 km/kg on the highway and around 19 km/kg in the city. As a bonus, it features dual CNG cylinders, which are neatly placed beneath the mat, ensuring enough boot space to accommodate luggage.
Variants Available:
This dual-CNG technology is available only with the Magna and Sportz variants.
Competitors Check:
The Tata Tiago is available with dual-CNG tech, and to make things even more interesting, it is also offered with the AGS gearbox. Yes, the Tiago is India's first CNG car to feature an automatic transmission. In total, there are 8 variants - 5 with a manual gearbox and 3 with AGS.
The Maruti Swift gets a CNG powertrain in a total of 3 variants, but with a single large cylinder.
Missing Features in Hyundai Grand i10 Nios
- Wireless Connectivity - This car lacks wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which feels outdated in todays times, as all its rivals now offer these features.
- LED Headlights - The i10 boasts LED DRLs and LED tail-lights, but the headlights are halogen-based. Rivals like the Tigor and Swift are equipped with LED headlights.
- Small Media Screen - With rivals offering 9-inch or 10.24-inch infotainment screens with HD resolution, Hyundai's 8-inch screen feels a bit outdated. Although it works perfectly fine, some customers might shift to other cars just because of its size.
