Hyundai's i10 has always been a decent seller for the brand, finding many homes in South Africa and also proving their longevity too, with many units still running around with very high mileage on the clock.
The Grand i10 is the latest iteration of that formula, but the price has certainly crept up over the years. The Hyundai now finds itself in a segment with stiff competition, chiefly in the name of the Suzuki Swift.
In this review, our video guy Ciro De Siena takes us on an in-depth tour of the new-ish Grand i10, with a thorough overview of the specs and pricing, the boot area, backseat comfort, tech features and overall feel of the vehicle.

Great review as usual, which is why I'm a big fan and regular viewer. I especially love that you spend more time talking about car you're reviewing and when you refer to rivals it's only to compare price and specs. I also agree with you that safety equipment such as ESP should be standard, especially because this car is likely to be bought by new drivers. Even if they add a thousand or two to the price it's OK because it will add just a few Rands to the instalments

Just bought my wife the Grand i10 1L for her to use daily as she was complaining of the price of diesel for the SUV she usually drives. We chose the 1L as it is surprisingly sprightly and not as slow as I thought it would be and has all the necessities. Even with 3 adults in it can get up to freeway speeds (100km/h) very easily. As our fourth car, it makes a lot of sense and gets you from A to B with good fuel consumption and generally good comfort for short journeys. I wouldn't use it for longer journeys like driving CT to JHB, but that was never what these cars were designed for.

For the price of a Hyundai Grand i10 fluid manual, about (R280 000) I would buy a current gen second hand Suzuki Baleno GLX, bigger engine, bigger interior and more safety features.

The Baleno is much more premium than the Grand i10 and has more power. I would pay in R10 000 and buy a new Baleno GLX.

My Suzuki Dzire has a AMT, and I love it. Put it in manual shift mode and it feels and drives like a manual without a clutch which is awesome in traffic. The full auto mode is just a bit dumb when doing traffic on uphills as it can hunt for gears. Switching gears up or down can be done by accelerator as well. I live it. Even had it on a track day where the AMT was awesome.

All the negative comments and I bet not on of you own one, or have even driven it for more than a testdrive worth of KM. Like I said, I own one for 4 years, and I drive it daily. I have had it on track around Vereeniging cart circuit and around Zwartkops doing a 1:26.9 (very good for a factory stock 1200cc) . It works great. Sure you need to drive it differently to a normal auto, but it drives and feels more like a manual with the convenience of not having to use a clutch. Especially in traffic. Downshifts are smooth and inperceptable, upshifts are quite quick and on track if you timed it right to get in the sweetspot of power bands, then it was actually very quick with shifting. It was only negative on track due to not being able to engine brake properly like with a manual. Also has the added benefit of not having any slip like a normal auto, so fuel consumption is exactly the same as a manual. And yes, I would buy another AMT above a manual if it is as good as this one.

@muhammedkhandookhee4631 10 ай бұрын

Heys Ciro, lovely review 👍👍I think the Gi10 is a good solid product, but it's priced a segment above, it's now competing on price with the Suzuki Baleno (Toyota Starlet) and even the new Suzuki Fronx. It has lost out in the value proposition when compared to it's peers like the Swift and I feel as if in the Hyundai line up it's kinda like replaced the i20, or taken away sales from the i20 because of its relative pricing (and is well specced) 😁

@tshiamowisdom1941 10 ай бұрын

I don't get why AMTs are such a bad idea, I own 1 myself and I am decently happy about it. What I don't seem to like are CVTs, weirdly enough people choose those over AMTs. It is a bit slow to shift but it really isn't that bad, what I enjoy the most is downshifting it myself when I need it to. Upshifting is quicker when it does it itself, and it seems to do it quicker depending on how you accelerate also.

Hi there, with nearly 75,000 cars on our site it is impossible for us to inspect each car. We advise those looking to buy a vehicle, no matter which dealership you are purchasing from, to throughly inspect the car and make considered purchasing decisions. We do however not tolerate certain dealer behaviours and we have terminated our relationship with dealers in the past. If you have a bad experience with one of our dealers you may call our customer care centre using the details on our contact page.

Awesome review Ciro🙌🏾🙌🏾😎 I’m not sure between swift and this what I would take as the Hyundai seems little more premium but I just love keyless life 😂so Suzuki wins me. But here is something interesting..I’m in market for a nice demo car and for R250k you can even get nice slightly used Suzuki baleno GLX which is full specced and wayyyyy more power so I think this i10 is overpriced😢😮

@thetad1242 10 ай бұрын

The Suzuki is lighter on fuel. A small car like this ought to have its consumption at 4.7 and not 5.5l/100km. I live with the hyundai and it's expensive to service. R4600 MAJOR SERVICE R2800 minor. Too expensive a car, unnecessarily so. It's a robbery.

There's simply far better cars at this price especially from Suzuki and even whole SUVs from Chery.

It's overpriced for what it is especially considering the awesome cars Suzuki are offering. And Hyundais are so cheaply made and plasticky. This car is simply unacceptable at this price point. Hyundai and Kia no longer represent value for money. They've gone very European in pricing.
