The Hyundai Grand i10 has been a popular product in the compact hatchback space. Right now, the company is selling the latest-gen model, which was rechristened Grand i10 Nios, which comes with a more stylish design, premium fit and finish, and new features. However, the previous generation Grand i10 was not a bad car for its time either. You can still find one in the used car market and it could be a great option for anyone looking for a spacious and capable hatchback on a budget. But before you start scouting for one, here are some pros and cons you should consider first.
Depending on the model year and condition, you can buy a used Grand i10 for around Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 6 lakhs.

Shortcoming
- While the looks are subjective, we feel that the older Grand i10 was not the best looking car. The car also missed out on features like projector headlamps or LED taillights.
- While the cabin was certainly spacious, the interior design is quite out of date. Even the quality of the materials and plastics used inside was not the best.
- Most of the premium features we have mentioned above are available only with the top-end trim. So, if those are your priority, your options will be few. Also, some of these features were missing from the top-end trims of the slightly older Grand i10.
