Coming to the design and appearance of Hyundai Grand i10, it looks pretty much alike the Hyundai i20 hatch from its frontage. The front fascia has a newly styled headlight cluster, which is incorporated with powerful headlamps and turn indicators. Then there is a small yet stylish radiator grille, which is incorporated with a chrome plated strip along with a prominent company logo in it. Apart from this, the bumper is painted in body color and it is designed with an hexagonal shaped air dam that intakes more air and cools the engine faster. The bumper is quite simple yet sportier, which will be liked by the car enthusiasts. On the side profile of this base trim, steel wheels have been fitted to the wheel arches and are assembled with tubeless tyres. The door handles and the external rear view mirrors are garnished in black color.

Also there are front and rear door map pockets and a front room lamp present inside the cabin that enhances the conveniences. This is the base level trim in its model lineup as a result of which, only basic set of features have been incorporated inside this hatch. However, the space inside the cabin is more than what you can expect for. This hatchback has been built on an impressive wheelbase of about 2425mm and an impressive width of about 1660mm that helped the designers to create more leg room and shoulder space inside the cabin. This hatchback has been built to offer a lavish seating arrangement for at least five passengers.
