Hyundai Grand i10 Revealed; Launch On September 3rd

By Ganesh

The new Hyundai hatchback which we have all been expecting for months has finally been revealed. Hyundai has made public the first images of the car codenamed named BA. It is called Hyundai Grand i10.

Everyone knew it was going to be placed in between i10 and i20, but did not expect the same i10 name. But the Grand suffix suits the new model because in general it is a glorified i10. With better space, better materials, sportier styling etc,. Hyundai i10 grand will be launched on September 3rd.

Note: The car in grey is the new 2014 i10 for Europe. The Indian spec of the same car will be the Grand i10 and sport a few styling changes.
