The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Corporate variant has indeed been relaunched

The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Corporate variant has indeed been relaunched, offering a budget-friendly option for city commutes.

The new Nios Corporate variant is available in manual and AMT form, with the same 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine.

  • Price:
    • Rs 6.93 lakh for the manual transmission (MT)
    • Rs 7.58 lakh for the Automatic Manual Transmission (AMT)
  • Comparison:
    • Rs 15,000 more expensive than the Magna trim
    • Rs 35,000 less expensive than the Nios Sportz executive trim

 

  • Cosmetic enhancements: Dual-tone wheel covers and a new Amazon Grey exterior paint option provide a slightly more premium look.
  • Convenience features: A 6.75-inch touchscreen infotainment system improves in-car entertainment and connectivity.
  • Distinctive badge: The “Corporate” emblem on the tailgate adds a subtle touch that might appeal to fleet buyers or companies looking for a recognizable branding element

 

  • Compared to Nios Magna: Gains dual-tone wheel covers, Amazon Grey paint option, “Corporate” emblem, and touchscreen infotainment.
  • Compared to Nios Sportz Executive: Misses out on rear camera, rear defogger, projector headlights, alloy wheels, a larger 8-inch touchscreen, and smartphone connectivity features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

So, the Nios Corporate offers a more stylish look and basic infotainment compared to the Magna but sacrifices some comfort and convenience features available in the Sportz Executive. It seems Hyundai is positioning the Corporate variant as a budget-conscious option with a touch of exclusivity for companies or fleet buyers who might prioritize value over those missing features.

Grand i10 Nios remains a competitor to the Maruti Swift in the Indian market. Here’s the update on the Maruti Swift:

  • Maruti Suzuki is expected to launch an all-new Swift model very soon.
  • No confirmed launch date has been announced yet, but some sources suggest it might be around May 2024.

While the exact features of the new Swift are unknown, it’s likely to be a strong competitor to the Grand i10 Nios when it arrives. If you’re considering between these two hatchbacks, you might want to wait for the new Swift to be revealed before making a decision.

  1. Engine Efficiency: They might refine the existing 1.2-litre DualJet petrol engine to squeeze out better mileage or a power boost.
  2. Modernized Design: Expect a fresh look inside and out, aligned with Maruti’s current design philosophy. This could include new lighting elements, bumpers, grille, and potentially a revamped dashboard layout.
  3. Technological Advancements: Maruti might introduce some exciting features depending on the variant. A bigger touchscreen infotainment system, a 360-degree camera for better parking, or even advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) could be on the horizon.
