Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Turbo Launched At Rs. 7.72 Lakhs

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Turbo was showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo in a dual-tone paint scheme. The car has been now launched at a price tag of Rs. 7.68 lakhs for the single-tone colour scheme and Rs. 7.72 lakhs for the dual-tone variant. The Grand i10 Nios was launched last year with an 83 PS 1.2L naturally aspirated Kappa engine and a 73 PS 1.2L U2 CRDi diesel engine. These engines produced power outputs that were adequate, but to woo the buyers looking for a hatchback with more power and torque, Hyundai has finally introduced the turbo-charged petrol engine.
