Hyundai Grand i10 Makes Global Premiere in India

Hyundai-10-GRand.JPG​

Hyundai Motor Corporation has officially made the world debut of much awaited New Grand i10 amidst all the glitz and glamour in a global event held in New Delhi this afternoon. Grand i10 is the eighth new car in Hyundai India’s portfolio and ours is the first market to receive this product. Hyundai believes that there’s a fair share of demand in the ‘compact high’ segment and that’s precisely what it aims to target in India by positioning it between i10 and i20 hatchbacks. The actual targeted audience is anyone in 25 – 35 Years age group working as an entrepreneur, professional or a mid-level executive. As a usual case in Hyundai, Grand i10 is laden with features to the brim and offers a few segment first features too such as a separate rear air conditioner vents. Here are a few more pointers from the launch event:

> Style, economy, space, efficiency and segment first features are the prime USPs of Hyundai Grand i10.

> Out of the 6,50,000 units manufactured, 2,50,000 units of Grand i10 will be exported to markets including Europe, Africa and Australia from India.

> Grand i10 is tailor-made for Indian market. The models selling here are 100MM longer than European counterparts and have a bigger rear windshield area.

> The car will be available in both, five speed manual and four speed automatic transmission. However, A/T model will follow shortly and its prices aren’t announced.

> Hyundai doesn’t think that this car will cannibalize the sales of either i10 or i20. It’s rather likely to increase the overall sales numbers for Hyundai Motor India.

“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.” - Mr. B S Seo, M.D & CEO, HMIL.

IMO, its one of the disappointing entries lately. I truly hope someday Govt. should impose a rule to have ABS and driver airbag as mandatory in every car to avoid such rip-offs. Let's demand and fight for our security. May be some online petition?

The Grand Lingo.. disappointed me

I guess i made a mistake...

Being an interface designer, I'm a huge fan of hyundai and the designs they come up with their products. I really made a bold move and sold my next-gen i10 ( which is only 1 year old ) just because for grand i10. I actually thought they're launching AT version as well. But unfortunately its a huge disappointment for me at this time. When i saw the launch and there is no AT version at the moment... i couldn't think anymore. just broke....

What do you think ? i made a bad move here ? should've waited ? oh well...
its history now. [cry]

At the moment, i can only hope for AT to launch soon.

Hyundai is really becoming headache for others :D

Test drive vehicles were running restless today in Popular Hyundai. Korean is getting synonymous with design and build quality.
