IMG_20130903_131302

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), the country’s largest exporter and the second-largest car manufacturer, today launched its fifth hatchback, the Grand i10, in Indian car market.

The Hyundai Grand i10 is basically the new gen 2014 Hyundai i10, albeit with different exteriors and roomier interiors.

The Grand i10 is different from the Euro-spec 2014 i10 but has been designed at Hyundai’s European design centre in Germany using design cues of Hyundai’s globally acclaimed ‘Fluidic Design’ theme. As we told earlier, dimensionally Grand i10 is longer and has larger wheelbase compared to its European version to cater to the space related need of Indian customers.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. B S Seo, Managing Director & CEO, HMIL said, “The Grand is a world-class product developed for the Indian market. The Grand symbolizes Hyundai’s commitment to Indian customers by offering high standards of quality, durability and reliability. It offers an ideal urban mobility with a complete package from style to performance creating a new benchmark in the Compact High Entry Segment. We expect Grand with its excellent value proposition and its unique features, will serve wide range of customers in India.
