Hyundai Grand i10 which is slated to launch in its 2019 model year version this year, spotted performing test runs in the country. It is not the first time when the latest version of Hyundai’s hatchback spied testing. Every time, the test mule reveals different details of the upcoming product. This time, the prototype seems to be a top-spec variant of the Grand i10 with a set of new dual-tone alloy wheels and roof rails as well. Other style cues of the spied mule are not evident though, thanks to heavy camouflage covering across the body.
However, the new spy shots suggest that there would be multi-reflector headlamps only on the top spec new Grand i10, as like the ongoing trim. Meanwhile, the lower variants will be furnished with turn indicators on the front fenders where the top spec model will boast these turn indicators on the ORVMs.

As expected, the 2019 Grand i10 will share the underpinned chassis from the ongoing model. However, it is likely to be packed in a way to offer much storage space.
Under the hood, the new Grand i10 is likely to get propelling power from the powertrain options performing duties on the current model. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is rated to churn out 83PS of power and 113 Nm of torque while the 1.2-litre diesel engine is said to make out 75PS and 190mm comparatively. Currently, a common 5-speed manual unit is responsible for power transmission on both the engine options. However, with the updated model we can see the introduction of a 5-speed AMT instead of ageing 4-speed AT.

On the features onboard, we could see features like rear parking sensors, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat anchors, speed alert system and a seatbelt reminder for front passengers as standard. In addition to these, the attributes such as the 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system and auto climate control with rear AC vents are also expected to be carried forward as it is from the previous model.
The new Grand i10 will be priced in accordance with the outgoing model. The current generation Grand i10 is tagged with the price tag in the vicinity of INR 4.97 lakh to INR 7.62 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). In its segment, the Grand i10 will continue its rivalry with the opponents like the Maruti Suzuki Ignis, Maruti Suzuki Swift and the Mahindra KUV100 NXT, even in next generation guise.
