Such a Nice review(Since this is ur Face lift model of 2018), I would like to share my Experience too Sportz DT 2018, My Likes are 1.Steering control is very easy, 2. Technical features, 3. Leg space, 4. Boot Space, 5.Reverse sensor & Camera, 6. Rear AC , 7.Dual AIR Bag, 8.Easy for City Driving.... My Dislikes are 1.Rear seat is not comfortable for Three person, Long drive and Elder people (Neck pain), 2.At summer rear passengers are sweating since AC is ON, 3. Feel Nice heat from Window Glass, 4.Mileage is very Low, 5.Reverse Gear Not smooth, 6.No Auto Lock after vehicle start running, 7. Pickup low when AC is ON

[@SujoyShivde]

Yes you have covered all pluses and minuses! I agree to almost all of these points except a few don't matter to me as I have Max of 3 passengers on most occasions. Yes, I've heard these reverse gear complaints many times. Thanks for watching!

This is one of those rare substance-over-style reviews, simply fantastic! One thing I'd like to add, Grand i10 doesn't come with ISOFIX child seat mounts on any of the trims. Also, it needs a top-end auto trim like other cars in its segment but I guess it's too late for Hyundai now as the new gen (Grand) i10 will come next year.

[@SujoyShivde]

Thank you for the wonderful words. Yes, I missed out on mentioning the ISOFIX mounts, very useful and safety prerequisites for families with small kids. :)

Hey Lad good video remember cars in India don't need synthetic engine oil because Pune climate is never minus 40 degree Celsius. Synthetic oil is required in extreme cold climatic countries like Germany Russia and few others. For rest Wikipedia will help what makes synthetic oil. Happy Fri ends

If there is any update on your Grand i10 AT, please make a video. Cost of transmission replacement done under warranty and the actual cost of transmission or parts changed. Time take to change the transmission. How is the car like to drive now etc. It will really help us make an informed decision before purchase. Thank you once again.

[@SujoyShivde]

Yes. Car drives nice and smooth again, without any jerks. Enjoying the driving experience again. Transmission replaced under warranty, but had to push the company and dealership multiple times to process the same. Listed part cost is about Rs. 3.5 Lakh rupees as printed on the box and is imported from Korea. Transmission changed within a day. Mileage has improved since the last two months. Got 12 km/l on the last two tanks in mixed traffic conditions with AC on. Engine is nice and smooth with Fully Synthetic Oil I used last service. Steering still is moody. Sometimes perfect, sometimes too heavy and sometimes pulls. Working on a video to display this issue and few fixes. Current ODOMETER is 9699kms (17th November 2018)

New Hyundai i10 grand nios is best in segment because it has more leg room at the rear passenger seat, good looking interior, it as more features than the other cars in this segment, engine is quiet refined and smooth. It has exciting features like wireless charging first in the segment, rear AC vents and many more. It is also the best city car and stable in highways. Value for money package.

[@SujoyShivde]

Yes no doubt best value for money package ☺️

[@srikanthshetty744]

Hey champ, firstly, Great video. Well done. I was in dilemma buying an automatic mostly for city travel. Booked the santro sportz automatic - for 6.65 lkh on road last week.Add 15k rear sensor camera. Would be around 6.8 lkh. Was little let down by the lag. Found some slight lag/jerk in the first two gear transmissions. Found that there is an ongoing cashback for grand i10 sportz automatic. Would be 7.8 lkh on road. Test drove both back to back. Found some lag in santro during transmission. May be cos of the AMT. But the grand i10 was butter smooth. Really smooth transition that you don't feel any lag or jerks. Hence planning to go for it. i10 Vs santro : Found the seating in santro better. The turning radius is smaller in santro. But the driving pleasure is much better in grand i10. I am aware of the low fuel efficiency. And the wanting for more gears in highway. But considering I would drive less on a highway and at a speed of 80kmph( may be max at 95kmph on an empty lane) it may not be an issue. At this pricing, I do not see any other option I have? What are your views? Anything you would want me to be wary of? Any help appreciated.

[@SujoyShivde]

So coincidentally I've driven the Grand for 560kms in the last few days and here's what I have to say! Both times I had 3-5 passengers on board and AC was always running high at 3-4 Speed. 1. PUNE TO Mahabaleshwar - 120kms one way and includes two steep ghats. 2. Pune to Alibag - 140ish Kms one way and includes one ghat and rest is an expresshighway. So the Grand i10 can comfortably be driven at 80km/h with a moderate foot. For test sake, I've been driving her at 110-120km/h and the ride was still very planted on straight line segments, with the engine idling at 3.5k RPM. Power never felt inadequate on flats but was occasionally inadequate in Ghats with AC running high. Using Tiptronic Manual mode helped a lot in Ghats and highways also! I always used it downhill and stayed in 3 for better pickup and results were great! Car did not brush anywhere when driven over bad breakers slowly and that was a great thing. Brakes were nice and firm throughout the journeys but sometimes the Pedal offers a different feel than other times (mine is a Non ABS car) Now mileage on these highways was 15.3 km/l when driven patiently at 80km/h. When driven aggressively it gave not more than 12km/l on ghat and highways respectively. The long journey gave me a slight lower back pain but it can be fixed with a small cushion. Coming to the city usage, gearbox is very smooth. No doubt. The AMT is no match for this gearbox hands down. City fuel Effiencies for me are about 9-11km/l but the drive is pretty comfortable. Just one strong observation, the steering wheel on my car seems to have a bad module and there are a few other members on sites like TEAM BHP which have had specific Grand i10 and Xcent Steering issues like Suddenly becoming heavier than normal, occasionally pulling left or right, even though tyre allignment has been deemed perfect. Other than that, I'd definitely recommend the Grand to you, it offers far more features compared to Sportz AMT like an Extra airbag, camera alloys and its overall a very stylish car! Any other questions welcome. :)

[@SujoyShivde]

Just check if you like the Micra CVT as it's also another car below 8L and has a great city transmission

[@srikanthshetty744]

Thanks champ for the detailed response. Very helpful. Much appreciated! WRT Nissan Micra, I think the ground clearance is even lower. Might have to put up with the service.Especially in small towns and cities. Overall package grand i10 better with higher hazzlefree ownership experience. Please correct me if wrong

Yes definitely my friend. The Old Swift was nice to drive. We own a 2nd Gen Swift and it's fun and feels sporty. The new one doesn't. The i10 sort of ticks most of the boxes. And yes, for an automatic, it's one of the best all round pick at that price point

Good review bro. Keep up the good work. Does it work seamlessly at uphill stop and go in auto mode. I m here at Bangalore and a little bit concerned that whether the vehicle will roll backwards as there are more uphill roads than any other major city in India

[@SujoyShivde]

Yes. Works seamlessly as this is a Torque Converter Gearbox. Doesn't roll back at all on even 45° slopes and still the car wants to creep ahead. But it's always recommend to assist the transmission with the use of a handbrake if you have to face even steeper slopes. AMTs roll backwards i.e New Santro, Celerio, Tiago. This one doesn't :)

[@mailgitesh]

Thank u very much for the reply. Relieved after reading that. Meanwhile there are hardly any other options in the market as Brio production is stopped, rumours that Nissan is leaving India, etc....

Will recommend waiting a while, as the new Brio should be here soon. I don't think Nissan is leaving India, as they seem pumped about the Kicks. Micra CVT is also a great gearbox. If you can stretch your budget, the Baleno CVT is also a great gearbox.

Check if Engine Oil is replaced by checking colour of the oil on the DipStick. It should be fresh golden. Make sure they clean Engine Air Filter and Cabin AC Filter. No labour should be charged for this service. Total cost should be under Rs. 3000. Make sure you inform them of any other problems you are experiencing. Ask them to top-up windscreen wiper fluid. Ask for spark plugs to be cleaned. You may ask for Brakes to be checked and calliper pins lubricated. Refer to owners manual for all the necessary activities they've mentioned for this 2nd Free Service. Don't let them do any unnecessary extra things like Throttle Body etc. or polishing etc. Keep an eye on the bill for these items.

Sir if I have to purely pick on basis of how smooth the transmission is, I'd never pick an AMT because AMTs don't offer a smooth experience and ant Torque Converter or CVT gearbox is way better and fun to drive around town. But buying the Tiago or Tigor AMT would definitely yield higher mileage. Build quality of recent Tata Cars has been pretty good too. Do assess your primary driving conditions and the features you're getting for the price and that'll help the purchase decision.

[@SujoyShivde]

I've only briefly driven the new Swift but here's why I'd still buy an i10 over the Swift. :- 1. i10 feels built heavier while Swift feels too light. 2. i10's TC Gearbox is Buttersmooth Vs a Jerky and stuttering AMT in the Swift. Why I Could Possibly Choose Swift :- 1. Better mileage since it's built lighter. 2. Handling and driving dynamics of the Swift might be perceived better by some drivers. Some other points as today ODO stands on 12500 kilometres :- 1. i10 Automatic isn't super quick but offered great stability on Expressways at even 120km/h with 4 Passengers on board. 2. Mileages aren't that great, but there's no jerking that you'll feel in the gearbox, but the engine doesn't feel that smooth under heavy acceleration. City Mileages in the Automatic are 9-11 km/l considering traffic and upto 14km/l on highways with a very light foot. 3. AC is a chiller but hisses. So bottom line for me would be to see what fits better in your budget and to choose your priorties. If you want mileage, hands down a Swift is better. If you want the comfort of a smooth gearbox and engine, then pick the i10 but mileage is a bit lower than the other vehicle. Do let me know if you have any queries.

Involves replacement of the rear windscreen to the one of the Asta variant and a new wiring harness and a new wiper control stalk. Possible obviously, but upgrade will take about 2L rupees from a very technical person

Yes true, the end user will buy what suits him better. If the driving distance is minimal, he'd pick the features over the drive and for major driving, definitely the drivetrain deserves a higher priority. Glad you liked the video! Keep watching!

Opinion on Ignis AMT..? First time car buyer here.. Overall driving experience and fuel efficiency..?

[@SujoyShivde]

Sir the Ignis is also a good car for a first time buyer, but the features you get obvious depend on your budget and variant. Following are subjective good and bad points in my opinion :- The GOOD:- 1. Very smooth and refined Petrol Engine. 2. Fuel efficiency is good thanks to the AMT and light weight of the vehicle. 3. Good space. 4. Reliable service and maintenance. 5. Has almost all necessary features depending on the variant. The BAD:- 1. Build is lightweight and doesn't assure max safety. 2. AMT transmission is a practical gearbox for higher efficiency but doesn't offer smooth and fun of driving. 3. The Ignis Steering lacks feedback and feel in general and this is highlighted on highways. The Grand i10 Automatic is better in some of these aspects! Hope this helped.

I think you should have a look at some 2018 Manufactured Baleno CVTs in Delta, Zeta Trims as the pricing should be around the 9L mark. Baleno CVT is almost loaded in every variant and it'd be a great buy. :- 1. Smoother transmission 2. Better fuel economy 3. Better space

[@confianki]

Thanks for a quick response, Just another question How is Honda Amaze Cvt

[@SujoyShivde]

@@confianki Yes, the Amaze CVT is a good choice as well. Coincidentally I've driven the Petrol CVT. 1. Get the topmodel V CVT Variant as it has all necessary features. Good :- 1. Smooth CVT Gearbox 2. Good Mileage 3. Good interior space and a good boot. 4. Killer exterior front look. 5. V CVT is priced about Rs. 9.4L OTR Pune, so try for a good discount! 6. Driving experience is best a smooth city car. Bad :- 1. Engine response feels sluggish on the CVT and the combination is just naturally good enough for the city. For highways, the paddles will be a must use. 2. Car cabin is a little noisy as insulation layers seem light. 3. Car substantially light and build may or may not inspire confidence in some.

Performance just as good. 3. No other issues at all. 4. Mileage in Pune city consistent at about 10km/l with AC always on. Sometimes getting more like 12km/l. 5.

[@monishthomasp]

FluidicJoy! Very true I was on the lookout for a diesel auto too cos I wanted to replace my fathers ageing 15 year old Santro and so was on the lookout for a car for him to drive essentially, as I work abroad. I reckoned an auto will be better for him to drive as he’s 77 now. But sadly no diesel auto. For me when I come to India, I have a lot of running so diesel was a must, so I was forced to go for a diesel manual, but after buying it I’m so happy. One particular run of 250 km the car gave me a whopping, unbelievable 29.4 kmpl. Imagine !!

[@monishthomasp]

FluidicJoy! Not to mention the 185 section tyres has even improved the looks and stance of the car a lot.. 😀

[@monishthomasp]

FluidicJoy! Also the Diesel engine displacement now stands at 1186 cc as against the earlier 1120 or something. It has bumped up the power to 75 from 70 and Torque from 160 to 190 - which doesn’t look like much on paper but the car goes like stink esp., when you want to overtake. It’s fun to drive in addition to being fuel efficient. All in all, a nice combination.

[@asesham1]

Oh I was pleasantly surprised with your video. I had been waiting eagerly for some one to review about grand i10 automatic. I had been considering taking it but was a bit hesitant. Is this car still worth for daily commute for office?? My only worry is about mileage. Iam Dr. Sesham Anand from Hyderabad. Thanks for the video again

[@SujoyShivde]

+Sesham Anand Hello sir. The mileage on the Automatic is really low. What initially was between 10-11 Km/l is now realistically 9km/l in increased heavy traffic. Yes, comfort and convenience wise it's a very good car to take to office. It's a quiet cabin, good ac, safe enough in the city. But Low Mileage and Inconsistent Steering feedback are cons I cannot ignore about this Automatic car. For better city mileage and great driving expetience, I'd recommend you look at a CVT Automatic like Baleno which is available in Multiple Trims in CVT or the Jazz CVT, depending on your budget. More questions welcome doctor.

[@asesham1]

Thanks with all my heart for your reply. I did not expect it frankly. I will listen to your advice. I already own baleno CVT and it is pure joy to ride it. Basically I want it for my wife and add you told I want a CVT. How about Nissan Micra?? Any idea? I want a small car for her

[@SujoyShivde]

Nissan Micra in CVT is an Amazing car alright! Slightly older about some features like infotainment system. Do check if service coverage is alright in your area. Otherwise, I've heard lots of praise about the Micra CVT. It seems like a very practical small car!

[@V0LKSJAGER]

@@SujoyShivde If reliability is a concern then nothing can beat an old school 4-speed Torque Converter. Jatco makes CVTs for Nissan, Suzuki and many other companies and they are definitely not as reliable as TC-ATs. Thank you very much for the insightful information. A really honest review. But as per your review any fully Automatic car is costly to maintain post warranty. But still TC-AT is a very reliable one in the Grand i10.

@@V0LKSJAGERYes sir. Nothing can beat a 4-Speed Torque Converter unit and I've owned 3 of these gearboxes by various manufacturers and loved how they drive.

Hey....nice video We are planning to buy grand i10 AT by end of this year And i have few questions? 1 . Which is worth to buy magna/ sportz. 2. Which is better dealer ? Pcmc or pmc? 3. Do i hav another option in same segment? If i change my mind? Nissan micra or brio? 4.Any other tips before you buy from dealer for discounts and things to check ?.

[@SujoyShivde]

Sir I believe the Sportz AT has almost everything you'd need in a city car most features prove to be a boon to me on daily basis :- 1. High Quality Factory Fit Reverse Camera (HUGE saviour!) 2. Android Auto and CarPlay are useful for highway trips. 3. Style quotient of Sportz AT is higher than Magna AT and those alloy wheels and DRLs look amazing in this vehicle. 4. But from a practical point of view, Magna AT has almost all of the safety and essential features minus some extra convenience features which the Sportz has. 5. Do haggle the dealers for huge discounts as they are available and make buying the Grand a good choice. About dealership, I've had good experiences with almost all of Hyundai Dealers in Pune with good personal relations in all of these outlets. I purchased my vehicle from Sanjay Hyundai, as their Discounts and On-Road price was the cheaper by a good 15-20k when I bought my car, but their workshop seemed a little chaotic and far for me in Bhosari, and so I service my cars with Kothari Hyundai, with whom I have excellent experiences with both at Satara Road, Kharadi and Kondhwa. So, I'd say buy where you get the best deal, and servicing can be done at any dealer of your choice, without fear! My opinions about other options in this same price bracket :- 1. Brio - Too outdated for 2018 and almost as expensive as the Grand, but offers substantially lower space and features, but is small and more fun to drive than the i10. 2. Micra CVT - Again a better car to drive than the Grand i10. Very smooth gearbox and the top model XV(O) CVT has most of the essential features, but priced considerably higher than the Grand i10, yet Micra is smaller and reliability of the brand and after sales in India could be a concern.

[@SujoyShivde]

Yes, since Hyundai made changes to the Grand i10 multiple times in 2018, make sure you are getting all of the features mentioned in the owners manual and ensure you have a October or later manufactured Grand i10. If they offer you an older 2018 manufactured model, be sure to haggle for a HUGE discount and check what it doesn't have. E.g My 2017 car didn't have ABS, but I got DRLs. Then in early 2018, DRLs were discontinued but ABS was reinstated. Now again, DRLs are offered in Sportz model, so do check that you are offered the most recent product. Do a proper VIN number check :)

@@SujoyShivde Should Eco mode be kept off in city ? Because I feel due to Eco on mode the speed is locked and thereby engine doest take much pickup and I need to throttle more due to which am I getting lesser mileage?

[@SujoyShivde]

I believe Bangalore traffic is heavier and busier than Pune traffic. But here's a few tips, tricks and guidelines I've been following :- 1. Being gentle on the accelerator and driving sedately ensuring car shifts under 2200 RPM. 2. Minimal and gentle usage of the brakes and regulating speeds with whatever minimal engine braking we have on the i10. 3. Using the AirConditioner Intermittently without BLAST chilling the unit by keeping Temperature knob on moderate settings and if needed toggling between AC on and OFF. 4. Switching to Neutral (N) and Pulling the Hand Brake on Long Signals. Do check if some of these things, cause a slight improvement in mileage and let me know what happens. All that being said, the i10 is still NOT very fuel efficient a car and most HYUNDAI's are petrol guzzlers anyway!

[@SujoyShivde]

Honestly, I haven't extensively driven around after SWITCHING the ECO Mode off and I always leave ECO ON and Drive around and I think the pickup is pretty satisfactory for me to zip around town and nipping in traffic. Will give it a try, will connect my OBD Scanner and let you know if the ENGINE Curve is changing with ECO OFF.
