Hyundai Grand i10 facelift spied yet again

An idea of the changes up front was presented by the Euro-spec 2017 Hyundai i10 (facelift), which featured a redesigned grille with a new mesh pattern in one portion, LED DRLs, and boomerang-shaped foglamp enclosures inspired by the 2016 Hyundai Elantra. The black plastic side cladding has been slightly redesigned, while top-end models get new 14-inch alloy rims with a diamond-cut finish.

Changes inside, however, are expected to be minimal. As car buyers prefer good tech in a budget-friendly car, the Grand i10 could be offered with a touchscreen display as well as Apple Carplay and Android Auto support. Hyundai become the first non-luxury car maker to introduce both technologies in India in a single product with the launch of the 2016 Elantra last month.

Its engine lineup will be the 1.2L four-cylinder petrol and 1.1L three-cylinder diesel engines. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual for both variants, while a 4-speed automatic is exclusive to the 1.2 petrol.
