• Hyundai Grand i10 1.2 Kappa VTVT Sportz AT Performance and Handling

  Although the Grand i10 is primarily a city car, it performs equally nice on highways. The engine offers strong mid and high-end performance, making it a peppy car to drive. Thus it’s best to keep the engine in its mid-range as that’s where it excels. The 5-speed automatic gearbox is a nice unit and does its job well. A slight tap on the accelerator is all that is required to move around at a decent pace. It is easier to drive around city traffic and rides much more comfortably on Indian roads. The power steering is a boon in the city traffic and while parking. Although it does soak up large bumps reasonably well and offers excellent ride quality in the city, the smaller undulations on the highways leave the Grand i10 a bit unsettled. The tyres cushion the ride very well and offer a decent grip.

  The Grand i10 1.2 VTVT Sportz (O) AT excels when it comes to looks, interiors, driving feel and a lot more. However, in terms of safety, it falls short.
