2014 Hyundai i10/Grand i10

**djlightscene** · April 25th, 2014 05:09 PM

guys, sharing our experience with the Grand i10 1.0 L A/T

consumption
city - 10kpl (EDSA traffic) QC-Makati vv
nlex - 13kpl at 80-90 kph
manual computation

what we like - spacious interior and feels very premium along with all the accessories, engine performance for a 1.0 is very sufficient especially when not using the eco button, it doesn't feel like a 1.0 rather it feels like a 1.3 engine, very good handling, eco function for a 1.0 A/T car is helpful

what needs improvement - for us the car is not well lit inside because the lights are only infront and at the compartment, passengers at the back find it hard to see their things; spare tire isnt alloy wheels but steel rims

overall it's a sufficient car, a great first car since my wife uses it.

Any other owner reviews out there? I really like this car but the prices are just too steep. If only that 1.2 TOTL model is 680k!! Wishing!!

Top Gear PH has a review on it. It's the 1.2 engine though. Anyway, I came back for PMS in the casa and they said the 1.0 sells better than the 1.2; I think now is the time to buy one in case you really want it... Part of it is because of my experience on the Hyundai Accent 5DR.. At first they were selling the value for money variants with more color selections BUT now it just comes into two variants and only 4 colors.. Maybe that will happen to the Grand i10, the variants/models will be down to just maybe 3 with limited colors.. HARI just might be studying the market for the Grand i10 before trimming it down to a few variants.. (just like the Accent and Tucson variants from before)

P.S. I really wanted that Ocean Blue A/T Accent Hatch from way back.. Oh well, regrets..

Delightful car. Probably the first Hyundai I've driven with really good steering. Really wish HARI would carry a test unit of the 1.0 variant. I'm particularly interested in the base 1.0 MT, for personal use... if it's not too terribly bare, I'd consider it over the Mirage.

Niky,

At what price do you think that 1.2 TOTL model should sell? I mean bang for the buck. The way I see it 728k is too much. Heck I even saw a brochure and was priced at 768k!

Well, it's difficult with the taxes and importation, but hopefully closer to 650k, 680 if they can't make it.

I'd personally work on cutting the price by deleting some accessories... good bye touchscreen and etcetera... then offer those back via a dealership upgrade package. Eventually, the customer will still pay that 700+ k, but it won't reflect on the price lists.
