Back in 2016, I brought home my Hyundai Grand i10 Sportz, lovingly named Guddan — meaning “Doll.” Eight years and over 1,10,000 km later, including 40,000 km through some of India’s toughest hill terrains, she remains as dependable and spirited as day one. Together, we’ve conquered the frozen trails of Winter Spiti, the spiritual heights of the Char Dham, and the remote beauty of Keylong and Sissu in Himachal. But our most challenging adventure? The Panch Kedar drive — a grueling test of grit, roads, and faith. Guddan handled every steep climb, broken path, and twisty pass without a single engine issue or even a flat tyre. Her mileage and performance haven’t faltered, and the comfort she offers on long drives still surprises me. In every uphill battle and valley descent, she’s been more than a car — she’s been a resilient, fearless partner. Hyundai’s Grand i10 isn’t just built for the city; it’s built for stories like mine. For anyone doubting a hatchback’s mountain spirit — Guddan is living proof that true strength lies beneath the hood and within the bond you build over every kilometer.

Hyundai's reputation for reliability also gives me confidence in the long-term ownership of this model. Overall, the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios 2016-2017 model is a well-rounded and attractive choice for those seeking a compact car that combines style, comfort, and efficiency.

My current favorite car on sale in India is the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Magna, which I also happen to own and drive regularly. While it may not be the most powerful or feature-packed car in its segment, it stands out for something I deeply value — reliability. The Grand i10 has proven itself to be a dependable and consistent performer in my everyday use. It offers a smooth, refined driving experience, a comfortable cabin, and easy city maneuverability — all of which matter to me as someone who drives regularly in Chennai traffic. Even after several years of ownership, the vehicle has required minimal unscheduled maintenance, and Hyundai’s service network has been both accessible and efficient. What I particularly appreciate is that the Magna variant strikes a great balance — it covers all essential features without overcomplicating things, which contributes to its long-term durability. The build quality and engine refinement are excellent for the segment, and the car has aged gracefully, both mechanically and cosmetically.

Went to buy an i10 but found out that grand i10 had better value for money. Great engine, better interior aesthetics, good quality plastic and metal used but low mileage. Has been 9 years since the purchase of car but no engine issues have shown up till now

The Car is Awesome. I have been using it as my primary source of Commute and it never really gave me any trouble interms of engine. It is very comfortable with good boot space and nice leg room in the Back. It have two AC vents including the one in the Back. Gives me decent mileage and it's very affordable with respect to Maintainance.
