The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Turbo which
debuted at the Auto Expo 2020 has been launched in India. It costs INR
7,68,050* in single-tone colour scheme and INR 7,73,350* 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. It returns a
fuel economy of 20.3 km/l. 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 red 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.
Hyundai offers the Grand i10 Nios Turbo in
Fiery Red with Black Roof and Polar White with Black Roof dual-tone colours as
well as Aqua Teal & Polar White single-tone colours.
