The Hyundai Grand i10 has been a popular small car in India for a long time. People like it because it’s useful, has good features, and saves fuel. Lately, some people are saying it can go 26 kilometers on one liter of fuel and only costs ₹4 lakh. But if we look closely, these claims don’t quite match what’s actually true now.
Mileage: Good, But Not Always 26 Kmpl
The older version of the Hyundai Grand i10 did save a good amount of fuel. It could travel between 17 and 24 kilometers on a liter, depending on whether it used petrol or diesel and what kind of gears it had. The diesel models were especially good at saving fuel, almost reaching the claimed number in everyday driving.
The newer version, called the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, which is the one you can buy now, also has its own fuel-saving numbers. Right now, in May 2025, the official numbers say the Grand i10 Nios can go about 18 kmpl if it uses petrol and has regular gears, around 16 kmpl if it uses petrol and automatic gears, and a really good 27 km/kg if it uses CNG and regular gears.
So, while the CNG version of the Grand i10 Nios can travel close to 26 kilometers for every kilogram of CNG, the petrol versions don’t reach that number. It’s important to know the difference between fuel types when we talk about mileage.
Price: The ₹4 Lakh Story Isn’t Quite Right
The idea that you can buy a Hyundai Grand i10 for ₹4 lakh isn’t correct for the current Grand i10 Nios. The basic price before adding other costs in Thane, Maharashtra, starts at about ₹5.98 lakh and goes up to ₹8.62 lakh for the best petrol model. When you add things like registration, insurance, and other fees, the price goes even higher, from around ₹6.73 lakh to ₹10.13 lakh. The CNG models also cost more.
The older Hyundai Grand i10 might have been closer to ₹4 lakh for the most basic model when it was still being sold. But the new Grand i10 Nios has a higher price because it has better features, safety, and overall improvements.
In Conclusion: Knowing the Facts Helps
If you’re thinking about buying a car, it’s important to get correct and current information from trusted places. The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios is still a good small car with its own good points like features, comfort, and good fuel use (especially the CNG version). But the claims that all versions get 26 kmpl and cost only ₹4 lakh aren’t true right now. Always check the details and prices with the official dealers to make the best choice.
