Verdict
So which of the two cars is a better buy — the Tata Zica or the Hyundai Grand i10? The Tata Zica is a very promising car, trying to make Tata establish its name in the affordable car market. The Zica has a good design, features, and an efficient engine. However, the Grand i10 gains the edge over the Zica with a little bit more of everything.
DriveSpark Thinks! The Tata Zica is a great car to buy if one wants to venture into the Tata models after how the Zest and Bolt under performed. The Grand i10 however, is a tried, tested, and proven model.
