Hyundai has launched the Corporate trim of the Grand i10 Nios hatchback. It is one of the most popular and successful models from the Korean giant in our market. It rivals the likes of the mighty Maruti Swift and Tata Tiago. But Hyundai has always been a carmaker which caters to potential customers looking for a more feature-rich interior and cabin. I know for a fact that people leaning towards affordable luxury at this price point often opt for the Grand i10 Nios. For now, let us compare the newly launched Grand i10 Nios Corporate trim with the Sportz variant to figure out which one makes more sense.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Corporate vs Sportz – Price
The first thing which forms the basis of this comparison is the price. The Grand i10 Nios has a price tag of Rs 6.93 lakh for the manual and Rs 7.58 lakh for the AMT. On the other hand, the Sportz retails for Rs 7.36 lakh for the manual and Rs 7.93 lakh for the AMT. All these prices are ex-showroom. Also, I must highlight that Sportz is the most popular variant in the lineup and a closely priced version. That is why we have chosen it for this comparison.

Specs
The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios comes with a popular 1.2-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine which generates a decent 83 PS and 113.8 Nm of peak power and torque. The transmission duties are carried out by either a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. Both these options are available with the Corporate, as well as Sportz trim. However, the Sportz model can also be had with a CNG (bi-fuel) mill which churns out a useful 69 PS and 95.2 Nm of peak power and torque. It is only available with a 5-speed manual.

Author’s Note
I believe Hyundai excels at recognizing gaps in the lineup of a vehicle. To maximize variety and ensure that all sorts of customers get a trim which satisfies their needs completely, there are myriad variants priced close to each other. Hence, choosing the right one for you could get a bit challenging at times. But I look at it as an opportunity to explore all options to find the one which makes the most sense for you. Between the Corporate and Sportz versions, there are not all that many changes.
Firstly, if you are looking for the CNG powertrain, you are left with only one option – to go for the Sportz trim. However, if you want a regular engine with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox, that is when things get interesting. Those looking for a few more amenities and are not on a strict budget can opt for the Sportz. It will give you a few advantages on the exterior, as well as the interior and features. On the other hand, if you are on a strict budget, going for the Corporate makes a lot of sense. In any case, you can’t go wrong with either of these alternatives. It is just a matter of preference.
