Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Vs Tata Tiago NRG (2021-2026) - Price, Mileage, Specs

Hyundai launched the Grand i10 Nios facelift in January 2023 with 3-point seatbelts for all passengers. In October 2023, Hyundai took another step towards making the Grand i10 Nios safer by adding 6 airbags as standard across all variants. This feature addition makes the Nios the most affordable car in India with 6 airbags.

The Grand-i10 Nios comes packed with features by segment standards. A few notable features include auto AC, rear AC vents, keyless entry with push-button start/stop, power mirrors, steering-mounted controls, touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, halogen projector headlamps, projector fog lamps, rear defogger and rear washer wiper.

The mid variants of the Grand-i10 Nios come with a balance of must-have and feel-good features. The Magna variant offers features like day/night IRVM, music system, 4 speakers, steering-mounted controls, LED DRLs, rear AC vents, power-adjustable ORVMs, rear power windows and height-adjustable driver seat. The Sportz variant further adds features like projector headlamps, alloy wheels, auto AC, touchscreen infotainment system, rear camera and semi-digital instrument cluster.

The normal petrol, turbo petrol and petrol-CNG engines of the Grand-i10 Nios offer respectable fuel efficiency of 20.7kmpl, 20.3kmpl and 28.1kmpkg, respectively. While these figures are not class leading, the powertrain options of the Nios offer a good mix of performance, refinement and efficiency, making it a sweet package overall.

Hyundai offered the Grand-i10 Nios with a choice of 4 powertrain options, including a 1.2L petrol manual, a 1.2L petrol automatic, a 1.2L petrol-CNG manual and a 1.0L turbo petrol manual. However, in July 2023, Hyundai pulled the plug on the 1.0L turbo petrol manual option. It is worth mentioning that the Grand-i10 Nios was earlier also available with 1.2L turbo diesel manual and automatic options but those, too, discontinued.
