2019 Hyundai Grand i10 Could Look Like This!

Hyundai is working on the next-generation versions of its existing range of cars. The company will bring the next-gen Grand i10, Xcent, Creta and Elite i20 in the next 2 years. The Korean brand will launch the 2019 Grand i10 hatchback in the end of this year.

The third-generation Hyundai Grand i10 will first go on sale in India in the end of this year, which will be followed in early 2020. The report claims that the 2019 Hyundai i10 will be the most hi-tech and advanced car in a market.

The report claims that the next Grand i10 is expected to receive minimal changes. In fact, the rendering images show that the next model will share its basic shape with the outgoing model. It will feature the same funky headlamps, centre-mounted daytime running lights and bumper design. The hatchback is likely to receive mild tweaks to front and rear bumpers.

The Hyundai i10’s coloured interiors are likely to be phased out. The hatchback could receive an upgraded version of the infotainment system. It is likely to borrow the 8-inch touchscreen system from the larger i30 hatchback.

The 2019 Hyundai Grand i10 is expected to be powered by the existing 1.2-litre petrol engine, which will be tweaked to meet BS VI emission norms. It is expected that the next i0 will go petrol only and is not likely to receive diesel engine due to the increase in price gap between petrol and diesel cars. Both manual and automatic versions are likely to be on offer.

Next-gen Hyundai i20 front styling update

Hyundai has begun road testing the third-gen i20 hatchback globally. We got a glimpse of what the new Hyundai i20 (codename: PI3) would look like when viewed from up front. Hyundai doesn’t seem to have toyed around much with the new i20’s overall shape and the model looks quite similar to the outgoing car at first glance. However, the new i20 gets major changes to its front-end. The trademark Hyundai ‘cascading grille’ is now much wider and quite similar in shape to the one seen on the Elantra facelift (also India bound, soon) and the Venue SUV.

While Hyundai seems to be maintaining the basic shape of its signature cascade grille, the grille inserts vary depending on the model. The Elantra facelift gets horizontal slats with chrome bits, the Venue gets horizontal as well as vertical slats, while the next-gen i20 test mule gets a criss-cross pattern. The new hatchback’s headlamps merge with the grille and have an upward swooping design. Hyundai will equip the new i20 with LED headlamps along with projector and daytime running lights, depending on variant. The new i20’s bumper neatly merges into the grille and gets two vertical placement slots for its projector fog lamps.

The current-gen i20 measures 3,995mm in length and Hyundai India will not make it much longer, to ensure it ducks below the crucial four-metre mark in order to qualify for excise benefits. Expect the new i20 to come with a long list of creature comforts and equipment, along with the Hyundai BlueLink system.

The new i20 will come with tried-and-tested engine line-up, which will include the current 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol and also the 120hp, 1.0-litre GDI turbo-petrol engine. Hyundai will also continue to equip the i20 with diesel engines for India as well as global markets.

With new styling, more equipment and updated engines, the new i20 from Group 1 Hyundai will surely be more competitive when faced with newer rivals like the Toyota Glanza, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Honda's Jazz and the Tata Altroz.
