The 2019 Hyundai Grand i10, which will reportedly
launch in October 2019, is being tested extensively on the Indian roads.
CarDekho recently spotted the third generation of the company's B1-segmenter.
While the new model continues to wear a heavy camouflage, the recent sighting
gives us a glimpse of the interior.
A peek at the cabin reveals the black-beige
dual-tone colour scheme, along with what seems to be a new steering wheel. The
side aircon vents flaunt a turbine-like design similar to what you find on the
new Hyundai Santro. The equipment on offer will include a floating-type
touchscreen infotainment unit, multifunction steering wheel, rear AC vents and
a cooled glovebox.
The test mule is a lower variant like an 'Era' or
'Magna', which carries halogen headlights and traffic indicators on the fenders
instead of the ORVMs. Furthermore, the car misses out on the blacked-out
pillars and rides on steel rims with plastic wheel covers instead of the
machined alloy rims seen on the top-spec version.
Underpinning the 2019 Hyundai Grand i10 will be a
robustized version of the BA architecture. Powering the new car will be
BSVI-compliant version of the 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine. An oil burner
option could be skipped owing to the fast dropping demand for diesel-powered
hatchbacks, along with the high investment required to attain BSVI-adherence.
An optional Smart Auto AMT is a given.
