Caught the Eye
Pros : interiors, comfortable
Cons : exteriors, bit costlier, mileage
i10 is really an eye catching phenomenon according in terms of its interiors, comfortable, finishing and advanced safety features. The car’s price is bit on higher side which is little disappointing because since the features provided are not that marvelous. The exterior looks are fair. The interiors have good legroom and head room and finishing is also very attractive. The engine gives an average fuel economy. The safety features have various warning lamps such as MDPS, anti lock braking mechanism (ABS), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), and 6 airbags that assure optimum safety. The car is very comfortable in driving but not the same at higher speeds.
Exteriors
The exteriors are not impressive; but definitely fair. The car has decently designed headlamps, fog lamps, radiator grills and the stylish Hyundai emblem adds to the exotic look of the front fascia. The rear look is broadly stretched and provides a good space for the luggage. The shape, style, high bonnet, black strip over the bumper and finishing gives a sporty touch. The car has curved shapes and bold looks. The car is quite compact but holds good mass. The awkward thing is that the headlamps are quite bulging out that make it look odd at the first glance.
Interiors
The interiors are really attractive and have astonishing features. The car has enough comfortable space to accommodate 5 people easily. The car has great and enough leg room, head room and boot space. Steering wheel is enabled with 3-spoke which provides smooth handling. The interior have i-shift gear system, electronic trip meter, an electronic odometer and an air conditioner with heater. The cabin is provided with storage compartments for wallet, cell phones and water bottles but it is something present in the front doors only and the rear seats lack such an arrangement. Dead pedal is missing beside the clutch which is disappointing even with this much a price. The steering is of rack and pinion type. Cabin has blue LED illumination and is well decorated with silver finishing making it look attractive and beautiful.
Engine
The Engine is well efficient and powerful delivering its best with the i10. The pickup is decent and quite faster, although I find it a bit too effort demanding even when the car is not much of a mass overall; but the Engine is definitely a 9 on 10 at least.
Performance
The engine is good enough and powerful and provides a decent mileage. The safety features are really impressive. The driving is very comfortable and the interior features add more stars to the same. The maintenance cost is low but the problem is that the original parts are not easily available in the market. The suspension is firm and the steering is quite responsive and the tyre grip is quite a charm.
Conclusion
The car is a bit costlier and provides a decent mileage with comfortable driving. The exterior looks are not so impressive but interiors are really attractive. Overall I think the deal would be much better than average.
