In addition to putting a stop to production of the Hyundai Grand i10, the company has also reduced the color options that will be available.

Hyundai had announced earlier that it would discontinue select variants of the Grand i10 in order to concentrate on sales of the Grand i10 Nios. This could mean an eventual end to the Grand i10 family.

Thoughts About The Reduction In Available Variants Of The Grand i10

This was bound to happen. The Nios was designed to replace the i10, and the company is facilitating exactly that. We expect sales of the Magna variant to decline as well, and expect that the model will be phased out soon.
