Hyundai Grand i10 2017 assembled in Vietnam tested on the street

The first sedan version of the Hyundai Grand i10 2017 small car assembled in Vietnam was recently spotted being tested on Thang Long Avenue, Hanoi.

A few days ago, an undisguised Hyundai Grand i10 2017 sedan was spotted testing in Hanoi. This is the first Grand i10 model assembled at Hyundai Thanh Cong's factory in Ninh Binh. Previous i10 models were imported directly from India.

Test car images show that the appearance of the Hyundai Grand i10 2017 has changed quite a lot compared to the old version. The front of the car stands out with a new Cascading grille replacing the 6-sided style. The front bumper is redesigned with wider fog lamp and headlight recesses. The door handles are shiny chrome. At the rear of the car, the rear bumper is also renewed.

The interior of the Grand i10 sedan has not been revealed. However, the upgraded version in the Indian market shows that the new generation i10 will be equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen with a rear camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems. There is also a standard automatic air conditioning system.

There is no information about the engine and gearbox equipment of the Hyundai Grand i10 2017 assembled in Vietnam. Meanwhile, in India, the new upgraded Grand i10 uses a 1.2L Kappa petrol engine combined with a 4-speed automatic transmission. A new engine option is a 1.2L diesel. Transmission options are 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic.

Before the Hyundai Grand i10 2017 sedan, the hatchback version of this car was also spotted in Hanoi. However, the price was not announced.

Hyundai Grand i10 2017 hatchback appeared in Hanoi in April.

According to statistics, Grand i10 sales in Vietnam reached more than 50,000 units in 3 years from 2014 to 2016. With the assembly, Grand i10 will be the first car model marking the cooperation between Hyundai Motor joint venture and Thanh Cong Group. The assembled Grand i10 mainly serves the Vietnamese market and is a springboard for this joint venture to expand exports to other Southeast Asian countries.
