The five-door hatchback comes with a four-speed tiptronic transmission to offer customers the best-in-class experience whilst ensuring high fuel efficiency through its cutting-edge one-litre Kappa engine. Further, Hyundai’s Grand i10 is also furnished with comfortable seating for five, a reinforced steel body structure that ensures maximum safety and handling, rear passenger AC vents, an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), dual airbags, a four-speaker surround sound system, and iPhone and Android connectivity that allows users to stay connected irrespective of wherever they go.
Commenting on the milestone, Hyundai Lanka Director Julian Reuter said: “We are happy to see that we have made significant headway in the hatchback category with the launch of the Grand i10.
