The New Grand i10 also comes equipped with cruise control, a feature typically found in higher-segment vehicles. This addition ensures a comfortable, enjoyable, and exciting driving experience.
Reliable engine and superior safety
All versions of the New Grand i10 are powered by the optimized Kappa 1.2L MPi engine, delivering 83 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 114Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. This engine minimizes CO2 emissions thanks to its variable valve timing technology (CVVT), ensuring both performance and fuel efficiency.
The New Grand i10 offers a choice of two transmissions: a 4-speed automatic transmission that balances performance, fuel economy, and durability with advanced technologies such as electromagnetic valves and a flat torque converter; and a 5-speed manual transmission with refined gear shifts for improved responsiveness and fuel efficiency.
The New Grand i10 prioritizes safety with a range of active and passive safety features, including Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), a 4-airbag system, a rearview camera and parking sensors, and an immobilizer anti-theft system.
The New Grand i10 is also a pioneer in its segment for featuring a tire pressure monitoring system, allowing drivers to quickly detect and respond to tire pressure issues, enhancing safety. Additionally, the vehicle’s body structure utilizes high-strength steel components, including up to 65% Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS), to absorb impact forces in collisions, ensuring the safety of all occupants.
The New Grand i10 boasts an improved chassis and impressive NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) handling, reducing noise and vibration by up to 3 dB through the addition of sound-absorbing compartments in the doors and increased rigidity in the panels and floor. The steering system has also been enhanced for better precision and feedback, providing a more enjoyable driving experience.
