The 2019 Hyundai Grand i10, eportedly
launch in October 2019, is being tested extensively on the Indian roads. Thrust
Zone has posted new spy shots of the future model, showing its mid-tier and range-topping
grades. Last week, CarDekho had posted its interior spy shots.
The interior of the next generation Hyundai Grand
i10 features the usual black & beige colour theme, turbine-like side aircon
vents, and likely a new steering wheel.The test mule (above) is probably a
mid-tier grade like 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.
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.
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.
