The Grand i10 NIOS gets the standard safety features

Safety and After Sales Service – The Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS makes use of high tensile steel in its construction. It also gets the usual set of safety features like dual front airbags, ABS, seat belt reminders, high-speed alerts and so on. Hyundai’s after-sales network is known to be well connected across the country and the ownership experience is generally trouble-free.

The Grand i10 NIOS does make for a nice modern hatchback

Verdict – The Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS scores well on most counts. Buyers will like the comfort, features and the availability of an AMT with both engines. While the NIOS is easy to drive, it doesn’t offer an involving driving experience like the Ford Figo. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense hatchback which is loaded, comfy and efficient, the Grand i10 NIOS has all it takes to be a strong contender in its segment. But if you seek some thrills and want a driver’s car, you’ll have to consider one of its rivals.
