The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Turbo which
debuted at the Auto Expo 2020 has been silently launched in India. It costs INR
7.68 lakh* in single-tone colour scheme and INR 7.72 lakh* in dual-tone colour
scheme.
The Grand i10 Nios T-GDi or Grand i10 Nios
Turbo employs Hyundai's familiar 1.0L T-GDi petrol engine. The turbocharged
direct-injection three-cylinder mill produces 100 PS of maximum power at 6,000
rpm and 171 Nm of peak torque at 1,500-4,000 rpm in the hatchback.
Hyundai manufactures the 1.0L T-GDi in India.
The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios' 1.0L T-GDi
engine is shared with the Hyundai Aura and is BS-VI compliant. Also, a more
powerful, 120 PS version of the same engine powers the Hyundai Venue, but that
is yet to be made BS-VI compliant. The 100 PS unit comes with a 5-speed manual
transmission as standard, while the 120 PS version is available with a 6-speed
manual transmission as well as a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
In terms of cosmetics, there is nothing
much which differentiates the 'Turbo-ed' Grand i10 Nios from the regular model
save for the red Turbo badges on the radiator grille and tailgate. The Hyundai
Grand i10 Nios Turbo is available in only the Sportz grade. So, it is equipped
with features like projector headlamps, 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels,
all-black interior with gloss black inserts, leather-wrapped steering wheel,
5.3-inch MID, 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto, wireless phone charger, automatic climate control, Eco Coating
and cooled glove box.
