Hyundai Grand i10 was one of the aesthetically sportiest hatchbacks launched back in its time. It currently falls in the compact premium hatchback segment and is one of the top-selling cars among that.

The biggest competition comes from the latest Maruti Suzuki Swift, which also got a generation update recently.

This means, that probably by next year, we can see a generation update for the Grand i10. Check out what we can expect from this next-generation i10.

The spy stories suggest that the next generation update gets a longer wheelbase than the current version. We do not know if the long wheelbase version will be coming to India. Reports say that the 2019 version would continue to be called as ‘Grand i10’.
Reports suggest that the Hyundai Grand i10 Hatchback next-generation will borrow heavily from the upcoming Hyundai Elantra facelift, which might launch globally in 2019. In the spied photos, wider headlights and taillights can be seen. It can receive some more cosmetic upgrades, but already Grand i10 is one of the most feature-packed cars in its segment.
