I have the i10 in UK and find the automatic box the nearest thing to driving an electric car. To me it's a city car and if I was doing motorway trips and other long journeys I would buy something different. Driven around town at times other than rush hour the economy to me is not too bad. If you anticipate the road ahead you can make your use of the brakes minimal and boost the fuel economy. Hyundai dealer service is expensive in UK so next one at six years old it will be serviced at an independent shop at half the price. Looking at your i10 I see dust is a problem and heat in the UK it's wet and the road salt in the winter that's the problem. I'm happy with mine and intend to keep it till it dies.
Hi Sujoy, do you recommend buying a used grand i10 sports manual transmission 2019. Car is just 15,000 km driven so far. Few points which i have a question related to grand i10: 1. Some people sat yhat the dashboard is positioned on a hogher side so it can cause problem for shorter passenger. What could be the drivers ideal height so that this problem is not observed. 2. Mileage in city and Highway conditions.my usage is on the liwer side though as i am a new driver. 3. Lifeless steering feedback. 4. Should etios liva 2017 dual tone petrol be preferred over grand i10
Fairly reliable engine so 15000kms is not much at all. I have seen drivers from 5" to 5"8 drive this without any concerns. Mileage in city should be 10-11km/l (minimum for Manual), highways maybe 14-15km/l, but definitely not as fuel efficient as Maruti 1.2L engines.
Steering feedback is not great on many Hyundai cars, it's not lifeless, it's slightly weirdly weighted because of the EPS algorithm, definitely not going to be great for an enthusiast or experienced driver, but perfectly fine for most people doing city drives. Etios is also good, probably a little simpler in design, simpler interiors, but probably more reliable because of Toyota badge.
@@SujoyShivde thanks brother for the reply. What's your opinion on buying Ritz 2013 petrol vxi (doctor owned) as a used car to practice driving (I had learnt to drive last year through driving school but as you might know there are very limited sessions in driving school). The main reason for buying a used car is to gain confidence in driving and occasionally use it for travel if required with family later on. What's your opinion just, the ritz is well maintained with proper service history up to date. Should I go with it or go with a grand i10 automatic or manual ? The price is a bit high here in Goa the Rita is available with a reputed dealer for 2.65 lakhs
Hi Sujoy Thanks for the great video and explanation about the fuel efficiency, AT(TC) vs AMT and everything. I am also planning to buy used car for my family and given we are new to driving and hence planning to buy Automatic only. We kept our budget to 4-5 lacs only and for this We are getting Grand i10, Swift, Baleno in options in market. Grand i10 Asta(O) AT 2016 (July) 77K driven we are getting for 4 Lacs. Can you please advise if its a good option to go for or any advise on any other Car Brand/Model. Thank you in advance.
Definitely a good car with most positives mentioned in the video., Slightly lower fuel efficiency. Would recommend getting a transmission fluid, filter change if you buy a car with 77k Kms, since that way, you can easily drive the car without fear of reliability issues.
Thanks for the prompt response. Really Appreciate the inputs. Yeah Sure, will make sure to change Transmission fluid and filter as advised. And yes, about Baleno i have also heard build quality is little compromised. But given that has better seating space and increased ground clearance and plus CVT. I am confused because Safety is also important . Baleno 2017 model 80K driven we are getting for 5.10 Lacs. So what’s your final take Grandi10 Asta (O) AT 2016 vs Baleno Zeta AT 2017. Both driven same Kms. Or if i am not making it more complicated, what about Honda Jazz CVT 2016 70Kms . Btw, Keep making such great videos. Thanks
@gauravarora8435 Jazz is also a good option. Again, CVT will need some care, like a proper CVT oil change, but Honda CVTs are quite good, so shouldn't be a huge concern. All three are good options, Jazz being the highest on safety, followed by Grand i10, followed by Baleno being lowest. City driving wise, all are great choices. Fuel efficiency should be best on Baleno, followed by Honda (similar to Baleno) and last would be Grand i10. If you do more highway driving, I'd pick Jazz over Grand Baleno, but I'd say, all are great choices. Just make sure to have every vehicle inspected by a mechanic, for any potential issues like Oil Leaks, coolant leaks, etc. Get all operating fluids replaced, like Oil, Coolant, Filters, Automatic Transmission Fluid etc and you'd then be overall looking at a reliable car for the next many years
Excellent review...I love the car except for steering and overtaking...I just wanted to check this car performance with xp100 from Indian oil especially over taking
Will try to check. But the car being primarily city driven, we never bothered filling with the premium more expensive petrol, since car does well even with regular fuel
Hi, I'm not aware of present prices. But about 3-4L for a moderately used Grand i10 would be my best guess. Please check OrangeBookValue and similar sites. Recently, because of the Semiconductor shortage and post COVID, used car prices have increased quite a lot, so it's tough to predict what these cars are retailing for
Any idea about how much mileage i should get for the 2010 i10 Asta Automatic(Not Grand)... I wanted an Automatic in a very low budget thus i zeroed on this car.
We had the 1st Gen i10 Automatic (Sportz) as well. Sold it after 60000kms, 8 years. Gave about 6-7 km/l in city, but it was definitely a more faster compared to present grand i10.
@@SujoyShivde Thanks speed isnt my concern im a slow safe driver ... milage is important though... that's very less ... i guess ill get same on an old civic or verna or honda city ivtec
No the point I meant to stress is the older i10 was a lighter car than the Grand, and so the same engine gearbox was faster on that car. Umm, you might get better mileage on a Civic due to the 5th Speed and if the City is a CVT, it might do better mileage wise. The Verna back then was also a 4 Speed AT, so expect similar mileages as Hyundai engines of that time were not the best at fuel efficiency
Excellent Insights. I have the same car and I feel that sometimes, shift changes from P->R->D is rough and takes some effort. Is this the case with your car too ? Also, Please continue to provide more Insights into this cute machine :)
Yes it's not just you, but a lot of i10's have a Rough shift when coming out from the P to R or D. Yes, will be doing an annual service on this vehicle in a couple of weeks when part availability becomes better thanks to the lockdown :)
Brezza is not a DCT. Brezza comes with a 4 Speed Torque Converter. The Nexon has an AMT as of now, but it is rumoured that they're launching a DCT in the next few weeks as teaser posts are already live. Brezza is very lightly and weakly built vs a Tata Nexon, which is regarded by many as a safe car. That being said, the Brezza gearbox torque converter gearbox is smooth to drive around, but it's not the best gearbox for highway driving where you'd miss the 5th Gear Ratio. The Nexon AMT has slow shifts Vs a torque converter but the fuel effiency will be better as torque converters give relatively low Fuel Efficiency
Hi. Sure. Will try and make a fresh review on the Santro AMT. I drove it before the lockdown, and found it to be a very comfortable city car. The hydraulic Hyundai AMT is way smoother than say a Celerio AMT. The 4th cylinder also helps with engine refinement and the Santro Petrol felt like a Mini Grand i10. Which other cars were you considering?
Hi Sujoy, I am thinking about kwid, wagonR and celerio and Tiago cars. I would like to know which car is better in build quality, after sell service, features, mileage, performance, comfort wise which car you will prefer. As per me in above all criteria Santro wins but if you can help me, thank you 🙏.
Hi sir. From the point of build quality, Tiago wins the round with Santro and WagonR lying close second. I have a Swift Dzire, but I find the i10 more better built and so for build, I'd pick the Santro over a Wagonr. After sales experience will vary depending on where you stay, but Hyundai and Maruti are two of the best car companies in India when it comes to good service and service costs for both of these will be near about the same. Do try and enquire about Service Centre reviews for Tata in your area as lately even they are doing well. Renault I'm not that confident as a vehicle and even service as Nissan Renault are not doing well in India. I believe Tiago, Celerio being 3 cylinder will offer slightly more efficiency in the city, but the Santro engine feels more refined and offers a little less vibration thanks to the extra cylinder. WagonR has the tallest driving position but comfort in other cars is also reasonable for upto 4 passengers. Do let me know me what you think. I think you should list down your priorities as they will help you eliminate some aspects in this comparison. If build is the highest, then the Tiago will lead. If proven reliability and good service all India is your thing then Maruti and Hyundai won't go wrong as network is incredible.
Again thank you very much for your reply, I will use car mainly in city in bumper to bumper traffic and very rarely go to my hometown near Dombivali. So after reading your reply I think Santro amt is best option for me in that price range. I had tata car before and sold it due to worst service experience. Only few problems in Santro might be its window control buttons position and lack of passenger air bag and lack of the parking sensors and camera even in sports version. Hope that 1.1 ltr engine will be good enough for 4 people and will get millage around 15.
Don't worry about Parking Camera. You will be able to get it installed later. Mileage will depend on the traffic condition, but yes, you might be able to get 13-14 km/l with AC on. Sportz AMT has Passenger Airbags. It also has Rear Camera and Sensors. Sportz AMT is the best variant in my opinion
Hi Sujoy, I am planning to buy per-owned i10 magna automatic petrol car, 2K KM driven, Aug 2019 registered @6L. Please suggest if its a good deal as Seller is NOT coming down any further :)
Hi, please have a look at OrangeBook value and input the vehicle info. Check for on-road price, spec, warranty, service history and try to find weak points to try and negotiate a little further. Take a good mechanic along with you for checking for rat bites etc. 6L seems too high for a Magna Automatic, so do check with OrangeBook value once
Bro , I am planning to buy new i10 nios sportz AMT. Some people told me that Automatic gets problematical after 4 or 5 years. Whether I should go for AMT or manual transmission. Please suggest.
No buddy, with a reputed manufacturer and an automatic transmission you should be fine. I've had two generations of an i10 Auto, one for 12 years, 72000kms..never had any issues. AMT should be even more reliable mechanically. Just the mechatronic is a weak link theoretically, but Hyundai warranty should help you. Do go for AMT. The convenience is great, mileage is almost at par. Nothing special maintenance wise. Just gearbox oil changes.
No, there isn't a software hill hold, but for most moderate slopes, the transmission manages just fine without it. It doesn't crawl back like an AMT. Only when the slope is fairly extreme and I'm driving with 5 passengers, I prefer using the handbrake to assist the gearbox and reduce the strain
@@harshalparadkar4114 sir Please don't call me sir. Again, this depends on how much the slope is and how many passengers you have on board. Unlike a manual car which will scarily move backwards on a stop and go situation on a slope, this one will manage to inch forward on most occasions. Only in extreme scenarios, you might need some handbrake assistance. For the most part, it is very easy to drive this on slopes in traffic, and you shouldn't have trouble driving this torque converter gearbox. Do take a test drive if you're considering it to see how it behaves in your traffic condition. Also, the points I refer to are specific to the 4 Speed torque converter automatic. The AMT now offered should be different at dealing with slopes. Hope this helps
I bought a used Gi10 Asta AT made in 2014 in 2019 December. It’s a delight to drive in Pune. With light foot in city, I don’t even feel the shifts. If I have option to buy car in Pune again, it will be AMT/AT/CVT/DCT. -------- The car retuned 9kmpl in winters. With my less commute in high traffic, it returns 8kmpl. I do feel, it should have been 5 speed AT for better utilisation of power. ------------ Apart from weak headlights which can be upgraded and awkward seats(may be I will need to adjust it again) it is a great car. No rattles from 5+ year old machine. A refined engine with good NVH levels inside cabin, it feels plush to drive within city.
Yes, it doesn't roll back on inclines. But if the car is very heavily loaded and if it's a super steep slope then yes, it might roll back a little bit, so handbrake and throttle is advised. It's not as bad as AMTs though
@@SujoyShivde thanks for the response Hyundai H promise in Kerala used car gave me a quotation for 2015 Grand i10 automatic Asta 38000kms covered for 4.6L..Is it fair / costly deal..?.
Mileage on the 1.2 Kappa isn't the best, and it isn't any better on the Automatic variant. It's more like a fact that a problem. Reverse Gear issue on Manual or Automatic?
This one on this Grand i10 is a 4 Speed Torque Converter Gearbox. It is not a CVT, but it's a nice and creamy smooth gearbox for daily driving. Hyundai offered a only on the i20 Elite lineup.
@@SujoyShivde I was always worried about mileage I get from this. I would make 9-10kmpl.. so I tried i10 nios Amt last week and it felt outdated or degraded. What I own is butter smooth, I wouldn’t trade this for another 3 or 4 kmpl with twerky gearbox :D
Both have their pros and cons. I personally find the i10's AMT a lot smoother than the Ignis AMT I had driven. But usually the K12 has been more efficient Vs the Kappa
Hi Sujoy, I am thinking of buying a pre-owned Grand i10. This will be my first car, so wanted your opinion. I have shortlisted a 2017 Asta petrol at 4.8 lac which has 10k km on its odometer. The car extremely well maintained but there are some scratches and dents (which I don't mind), the car is having another 7-8 months of zero dep insurance. Please suggest me should I go ahead and make a deal or should I bargain for 4.5L?
I'd pick Nios AMT for the smooth engine and decent mileage and healthy convenience set of features Hyundai offers. The Hyundai AMT has an acceptable shift quality, but it is definitely not going to be super quick at shifts or meant for super enthusiastic driving. But yes, it is very practical and comfortable car for the city.
Depends on driving conditions, but yes 12-13 km/l should be achievable with the AMT and about 16-17km/l on highways. The torque converter doesn't manage even 13km/l on highways
@@dhruvgupta8910 I have the torque converter grand i10. We actually also had the first gen i10 torque converter one. Both are smooth and quick gearboxes but bad at fuel efficiency
Hi Sujoy sir, thank you for your detailed videos on Grand i10 automatic. I am in the market for an used car, you have mentioned that your gearbox transmission failed, I am bit skeptical now, could you please tell us in which year of ownership it happened and what caused it to fail so early? If my car is out of warranty period then how much would it cost me as I believe torque converter unit will be expensive, please share elaborated details, many thanks
Hi, gearbox did not fail in service. There was an oil leak presumably due to some external damage, which was not rectified and corrected by the dealership promptly even after informing them. This led to the gearbox causing a jerk since it was dry run by the dealership personnel. Hyundai couldn't solve the issue after multiple efforts and so Hyundai replaced this gearbox in warranty. Most torque converters do not fail easily and the Hyundai gearbox is fairly reliable. Hope this explains. We still have the car and it drives just like new, smooth shifting as ever. Since you're curious, the price of a brand new gearbox assembly is about 2.3L rupees. This is something you don't have to worry about though. It's a great engine gearbox. Hope this helps.
A good torque converter doesn't have problems almost anywhere. On most moderate hills, the car doesn't even roll back. On severe slopes, it might be a little helpful to use the handbrake in stop and go. If you need more control, you can always use the Manual Mode and slot in D1-D2 for better pickup
Being new to this genere, i don't know the difference between TC and AMT. Are they the same. I was looking forward to a i10 Nios AMT for hills drive near and around Darjeeling (that's where I stay)
Nios is an AMT, but Hyundai have calibrated it well to handle slopes well. That being said, an AMT still is a little weaker on hills compared to a proper Torque Converter automatic like the previous gen. I'd say, get a test drive in your daily road conditions and see how the AMT behaves
Hi sujoy, please guide me regarding the purchasing of polo petrol 1.2 mpi.Model - 2016 , Highline,22000 kms ...what should be the best price to buy. And most of my friends telling me ki don't buy polo because of high service and maintenance cost and spare part unavailability... Please help me out. I m residing at Panvel. And one more ... what about Etios Liva Diesel
Hi, the car you saw in the video is a Polo 1.2MPI. The total cost of spares is not that high and if you service outside with correct lubricants and spares, you should not encounter problems. New car owners need to service this car in authorised showroom where the labour cost is high and so there is a perception that it's expensive to maintain these. Spare parts are readily available pan India from sites like Boodmo etc and also local part shops. In fact in Mumbai itself there is a pan India VW part distributor by the name Saral Trading. Some critical parts are expensive, but in normal scenarios if the vehicle is in good condition you will not have to bear the high cost of that. Liva Diesel will be more reliable, because Toyota is a very reliable carmaker. The build of the Liva is not as strong as Polo, but other than that, Liva might just be more comfortable to own and maintain.
Seems a little high, but better to take a quote from OrangeBookValue. Do enter the correct vehicle info as per actual vehicle status and see the quoted value. That should be the best guess
I came across your channel today. Would want an advice, I’m planning on buying a used AT Car. I found a Grand i10 AT sports for 3.26 Lakh with 92,000 km. Looking for advice. Any rough figure as to how much a car like this could be ?
Hi! You'll get a 30-40k KMS old Grand i10 at 3-5L depending on the condition. I'd suggest you go for that. You can even go for the prefacelift grand i10 automatic. That might be a little cheaper as well. 92000kms is driven too much I think.
Hi Sir, is it a good idea to fit a CNG kit in Grand i10 neos magna version please? My car is 1 year old now and had not run more than 1k Km due to lockdown period. And if it's good from where I can get it fixed in Pune please.
@@SujoyShivde the cost is around 45k sir. And as of now my running is not that much. But looking at petrol prices I was thinking but not sure if it would be safe as well.
@@hotesh Some kits are good and definitely will improve mileage. But do some math as per your running to calculate how much you'd spend on petrol. If you run 6000kms a year, that means you'll spend 72000 a year on fuel. Considering such scenarios, a CNG Kit makes sense for most folks since petrol is too expensive lately
@@SujoyShivde Ok but any particular kit name please? And also will it affect car performance and will it be safe to fit out of company please? And thank you for explaining the calculations as I did not think about it 👍🙏🏼
Hi Sujoy, we just went to the Hyundai showroom, this will be my first car and hence the need for an automatic car, we thought of booking i10 sportz, which car would you suggest if not for i10, thank you in advance 😀
Hi Sujoy, thanks a lot for these insights on long term use. I'm in the used car market for an auto hatch under 6L, mainly for city use and once a month mumbai-pune round trip. I'm getting a Grand i10 Auto Sportz Jan'2018 model 40k kms done for 6L. Should I go for it or is it steep?
The offer pricing you've received could be better. The car is great for the purpose you mentioned, but beware of the not so incredible mileage on this Petrol AT. In Pune City traffic it gives a max of 10km/l and on Pune Mumbai trips should give you max 13 km/l or so.
Now im feeling bit relieved that i am not only the one who got fooled😂😂. Seriously it comes around 7-8 kmpl in city. I would have bought used accord or something like that
Same for me too... I am getting an average mileage of 6.5 to 7.5 max... Spending around 13 to 14k for the fuel.... Whereas my frnd spends around 6k for the same distance travel....
@@SujoyShivde Many good condition Zen automatic cars are available. But they are costly (Around 2 lakh INR for a good condition Zen automatic). Korean 4 speed AT will have problems after around 90k km (My friends experience). Zen 3 speed AT automatic gearbox will last upto 3 lakh km. My friend has one which has run 3.4 lakh km due for engine work. But automatic gearbox is still in good condition. Good pulling even after 3.4 lakh km. Made in Japan
Most Zen AT cars are owned by NRIs. They do not want to sell those cars bcoz the cars are running fine. You can see lots of Korean automatic cars for sale, most of them covered less than 75000 km. Why people are selling those cars while Zen automatic car owners are not selling Zen AT cars?
@@SujoyShivde Hey Sujoy. Did you check mileage with changing speeds? Try going till 110 and 70kmph on Highways. This car only gives you the best mileage if we are clocking from 70-80kmpl. She requires much attention towards soft handling.👍
@@abhinavprabhu308 yes I'm aware. But more often 70km/h is too slow on highways :p and the mileage also dips with load as the Accelerator needs to be depressed a lot more
The drive belt is a consumable, but it is not even remotely the driver's fault. Lack of an engine cover is a bad design decision by the manufacturer. And a drive belt going back in under 20k Kms is also concerning
Hi Sujoy I'm from Kerala. I'm planning to buy a 2018 model grand i10 automatic . The owner's final price is 5,10,000. The car has already driven 54,000 kms. Is it a good deal or should I bargain for a fair deal.
Price is definitely on the higher side. Please try bargaining. While the car may be good, 54000kms on a car like i10 which was once sold around 7-8L rupees should have a higher depreciation in my opinion. Request you to check once on OrangeBookValue and try and make the owner reduce the price.
Detailed service videos coming in a week or two max. But about 5-6k at Authorised Service Centres for Routine Service and about 2-3k or lesser if done outside.
I clicked on the like button when he talked about mileage. SO truthful.

What could be the drivers ideal height so that this problem is not observed.
2. Mileage in city and Highway conditions.my usage is on the liwer side though as i am a new driver.

Umm, you might get better mileage on a Civic due to the 5th Speed and if the City is a CVT, it might do better mileage wise. The Verna back then was also a 4 Speed AT, so expect similar mileages as Hyundai engines of that time were not the best at fuel efficiency
@@SujoyShivde true makes sense ... the old 2010 ivtec doesnt have CVT i guess .. only the newer cars come with CVT
We had a 2004 Honda City, which came with a CVT Gearbox. Even the City ZX had a CVT. But not sure for how many years they were sold.
Excellent Insights. I have the same car and I feel that sometimes, shift changes from P->R->D is rough and takes some effort. Is this the case with your car too ? Also, Please continue to provide more Insights into this cute machine :)
Yes it's not just you, but a lot of i10's have a Rough shift when coming out from the P to R or D. Yes, will be doing an annual service on this vehicle in a couple of weeks when part availability becomes better thanks to the lockdown :)
Its amt or dct ?
It's a Torque Converter. Neither an AMT nor a Dual Clutch (DCT)
@@SujoyShivde can u help me out
M confused in tata nexon amt or breeza dct
Brezza is not a DCT. Brezza comes with a 4 Speed Torque Converter. The Nexon has an AMT as of now, but it is rumoured that they're launching a DCT in the next few weeks as teaser posts are already live. Brezza is very lightly and weakly built vs a Tata Nexon, which is regarded by many as a safe car. That being said, the Brezza gearbox torque converter gearbox is smooth to drive around, but it's not the best gearbox for highway driving where you'd miss the 5th Gear Ratio. The Nexon AMT has slow shifts Vs a torque converter but the fuel effiency will be better as torque converters give relatively low Fuel Efficiency
Good detailed review thank you 🙏
Please review the New Santro Amt car and tell us is it better than the other cars in that range?
Hi. Sure. Will try and make a fresh review on the Santro AMT. I drove it before the lockdown, and found it to be a very comfortable city car. The hydraulic Hyundai AMT is way smoother than say a Celerio AMT. The 4th cylinder also helps with engine refinement and the Santro Petrol felt like a Mini Grand i10. Which other cars were you considering?
Hi Sujoy, I am thinking about kwid, wagonR and celerio and Tiago cars. I would like to know which car is better in build quality, after sell service, features, mileage, performance, comfort wise which car you will prefer. As per me in above all criteria Santro wins but if you can help me, thank you 🙏.
Hi sir. From the point of build quality, Tiago wins the round with Santro and WagonR lying close second. I have a Swift Dzire, but I find the i10 more better built and so for build, I'd pick the Santro over a Wagonr. After sales experience will vary depending on where you stay, but Hyundai and Maruti are two of the best car companies in India when it comes to good service and service costs for both of these will be near about the same. Do try and enquire about Service Centre reviews for Tata in your area as lately even they are doing well. Renault I'm not that confident as a vehicle and even service as Nissan Renault are not doing well in India. I believe Tiago, Celerio being 3 cylinder will offer slightly more efficiency in the city, but the Santro engine feels more refined and offers a little less vibration thanks to the extra cylinder. WagonR has the tallest driving position but comfort in other cars is also reasonable for upto 4 passengers. Do let me know me what you think. I think you should list down your priorities as they will help you eliminate some aspects in this comparison. If build is the highest, then the Tiago will lead. If proven reliability and good service all India is your thing then Maruti and Hyundai won't go wrong as network is incredible.
Again thank you very much for your reply, I will use car mainly in city in bumper to bumper traffic and very rarely go to my hometown near Dombivali. So after reading your reply I think Santro amt is best option for me in that price range. I had tata car before and sold it due to worst service experience. Only few problems in Santro might be its window control buttons position and lack of passenger air bag and lack of the parking sensors and camera even in sports version. Hope that 1.1 ltr engine will be good enough for 4 people and will get millage around 15.
Don't worry about Parking Camera. You will be able to get it installed later. Mileage will depend on the traffic condition, but yes, you might be able to get 13-14 km/l with AC on. Sportz AMT has Passenger Airbags. It also has Rear Camera and Sensors. Sportz AMT is the best variant in my opinion
Hi Sujoy, I am planning to buy per-owned i10 magna automatic petrol car, 2K KM driven, Aug 2019 registered @6L. Please suggest if its a good deal as Seller is NOT coming down any further :)
Hi, please have a look at OrangeBook value and input the vehicle info. Check for on-road price, spec, warranty, service history and try to find weak points to try and negotiate a little further. Take a good mechanic along with you for checking for rat bites etc. 6L seems too high for a Magna Automatic, so do check with OrangeBook value once
@@SujoyShivde Thanks for suggestion, OrangeBook shows 5.6 - 6L... Will try to to negotiate further :)
Excellent review.
Thank you sir
Bro , I am planning to buy new i10 nios sportz AMT. Some people told me that Automatic gets problematical after 4 or 5 years. Whether I should go for AMT or manual transmission.
Please suggest.
No buddy, with a reputed manufacturer and an automatic transmission you should be fine. I've had two generations of an i10 Auto, one for 12 years, 72000kms..never had any issues. AMT should be even more reliable mechanically. Just the mechatronic is a weak link theoretically, but Hyundai warranty should help you. Do go for AMT. The convenience is great, mileage is almost at par. Nothing special maintenance wise. Just gearbox oil changes.
@@SujoyShivde thank you brother.👍
👍🏻👍🏻😊
😊
Hill hold ? Is there any specific function ...
No, there isn't a software hill hold, but for most moderate slopes, the transmission manages just fine without it. It doesn't crawl back like an AMT. Only when the slope is fairly extreme and I'm driving with 5 passengers, I prefer using the handbrake to assist the gearbox and reduce the strain
@@harshalparadkar4114 sir Please don't call me sir. Again, this depends on how much the slope is and how many passengers you have on board. Unlike a manual car which will scarily move backwards on a stop and go situation on a slope, this one will manage to inch forward on most occasions. Only in extreme scenarios, you might need some handbrake assistance. For the most part, it is very easy to drive this on slopes in traffic, and you shouldn't have trouble driving this torque converter gearbox. Do take a test drive if you're considering it to see how it behaves in your traffic condition. Also, the points I refer to are specific to the 4 Speed torque converter automatic. The AMT now offered should be different at dealing with slopes. Hope this helps
What is the city mileage?
What is the highway mileage?
Can you please explain. ☺
City mileage 8.5-10km/l (Pune). Highway mileage 12-14km/l
I bought a used Gi10 Asta AT made in 2014 in 2019 December.
It’s a delight to drive in Pune.
With light foot in city, I don’t even feel the shifts. If I have option to buy car in Pune again, it will be AMT/AT/CVT/DCT.
--------
The car retuned 9kmpl in winters. With my less commute in high traffic, it returns 8kmpl.
I do feel, it should have been 5 speed AT for better utilisation of power.
------------
Apart from weak headlights which can be upgraded and awkward seats(may be I will need to adjust it again) it is a great car.
No rattles from 5+ year old machine.
A refined engine with good NVH levels inside cabin, it feels plush to drive within city.
Glad you're liking the i10. I love mine too! ☺️
@@SujoyShivde Btw the aerial, tyre and wide angle shots are great!
Thanks! ☺️
@@Chillvideos24 Could you please tell for how much did you buy the used car
Brother, this car is AMT or AT ? what is the transmission type for this car?
The Grand i10 has a Torque Converter, so it's a proper AT. The Nios switched to AMT
Thank you ❤
Wish to see servicing video of this car in Fluidicjoy style
Yes, in a couple of months.
Hi ... planning to take a used Grand i10 Automatic,
Did the TC gearbox prevent you from rolling down in an incline?
Yes, it doesn't roll back on inclines. But if the car is very heavily loaded and if it's a super steep slope then yes, it might roll back a little bit, so handbrake and throttle is advised. It's not as bad as AMTs though
@@SujoyShivde thanks for the response
Hyundai H promise in Kerala used car gave me a quotation for 2015 Grand i10 automatic Asta 38000kms covered for 4.6L..Is it fair / costly deal..?.
Can try negotiating a little. But car should be good. Do bargain a little as fuel efficiency are on lower sides

Have u tried and compared Brio with i10?
where do we get used i10 AT in pune at best price ?
Hard to say, please look for all portals, and have car properly inspected.
I have 2 problem with this car 1) reverse gear prblm
2) Milega is pretty less compared to other Hatchback (10kmpl in city and 15 in highway
Mileage on the 1.2 Kappa isn't the best, and it isn't any better on the Automatic variant. It's more like a fact that a problem. Reverse Gear issue on Manual or Automatic?
@@SujoyShivde manual car...
What type of automatic gearbox is it ?
Amt or cvt
Neither. It is a proper torque converter AT (4 Speed AT). The Nios switched to AMT
@@SujoyShivde, it's planetary gearbox with torque converter ???
I own the same model, I thought this is a CVT transmission so far. What transmission is this then ?
This one on this Grand i10 is a 4 Speed Torque Converter Gearbox. It is not a CVT, but it's a nice and creamy smooth gearbox for daily driving. Hyundai offered a only on the i20 Elite lineup.
@@SujoyShivde I was always worried about mileage I get from this. I would make 9-10kmpl.. so I tried i10 nios Amt last week and it felt outdated or degraded. What I own is butter smooth, I wouldn’t trade this for another 3 or 4 kmpl with twerky gearbox :D
@@anupdevreddy5489 yes the AMT is a step down in drive quality
Which automatic car is better Grand I 10 nios or ignis?
Both have their pros and cons. I personally find the i10's AMT a lot smoother than the Ignis AMT I had driven. But usually the K12 has been more efficient Vs the Kappa
Hi Sujoy,
I am thinking of buying a pre-owned Grand i10. This will be my first car, so wanted your opinion. I have shortlisted a 2017 Asta petrol at 4.8 lac which has 10k km on its odometer. The car extremely well maintained but there are some scratches and dents (which I don't mind), the car is having another 7-8 months of zero dep insurance.
Please suggest me should I go ahead and make a deal or should I bargain for 4.5L?
Sorry for the late response. Saw this now. Try bargaining. But the car should be just fine 😊

It's a great car. Will be a smooth drive but fuel efficiency will be low. Try bargaining a little more citing it is BS4 Petrol Car etc.
@@SujoyShivde Thanks buddy, will try👍
If you have to purchase now would you like to ho for nios amt? I am looking for it
I'd pick Nios AMT for the smooth engine and decent mileage and healthy convenience set of features Hyundai offers. The Hyundai AMT has an acceptable shift quality, but it is definitely not going to be super quick at shifts or meant for super enthusiastic driving. But yes, it is very practical and comfortable car for the city.
@@SujoyShivde what mileage I can expect 13-14?
Depends on driving conditions, but yes 12-13 km/l should be achievable with the AMT and about 16-17km/l on highways. The torque converter doesn't manage even 13km/l on highways
@@SujoyShivde in grand i10 there was torque converter but now they changed because of mileage only
@@dhruvgupta8910 I have the torque converter grand i10. We actually also had the first gen i10 torque converter one. Both are smooth and quick gearboxes but bad at fuel efficiency
Hi Sujoy sir, thank you for your detailed videos on Grand i10 automatic. I am in the market for an used car, you have mentioned that your gearbox transmission failed, I am bit skeptical now, could you please tell us in which year of ownership it happened and what caused it to fail so early? If my car is out of warranty period then how much would it cost me as I believe torque converter unit will be expensive, please share elaborated details, many thanks
Hi, gearbox did not fail in service. There was an oil leak presumably due to some external damage, which was not rectified and corrected by the dealership promptly even after informing them. This led to the gearbox causing a jerk since it was dry run by the dealership personnel. Hyundai couldn't solve the issue after multiple efforts and so Hyundai replaced this gearbox in warranty. Most torque converters do not fail easily and the Hyundai gearbox is fairly reliable. Hope this explains. We still have the car and it drives just like new, smooth shifting as ever. Since you're curious, the price of a brand new gearbox assembly is about 2.3L rupees. This is something you don't have to worry about though. It's a great engine gearbox. Hope this helps.
How does the car perform for a drive to the hills? I heard that automatic cars have issues on hills drive. Please suggest.
A good torque converter doesn't have problems almost anywhere. On most moderate hills, the car doesn't even roll back. On severe slopes, it might be a little helpful to use the handbrake in stop and go. If you need more control, you can always use the Manual Mode and slot in D1-D2 for better pickup
Being new to this genere, i don't know the difference between TC and AMT. Are they the same. I was looking forward to a i10 Nios AMT for hills drive near and around Darjeeling (that's where I stay)
Nios is an AMT, but Hyundai have calibrated it well to handle slopes well. That being said, an AMT still is a little weaker on hills compared to a proper Torque Converter automatic like the previous gen. I'd say, get a test drive in your daily road conditions and see how the AMT behaves
Thanks for lending your ears to my queries. @sujoyShivde 😊
Hi sujoy, please guide me regarding the purchasing of polo petrol 1.2 mpi.Model - 2016 , Highline,22000 kms ...what should be the best price to buy.
And most of my friends telling me ki don't buy polo because of high service and maintenance cost and spare part unavailability... Please help me out. I m residing at Panvel.
And one more ...
what about Etios Liva Diesel
Hi, the car you saw in the video is a Polo 1.2MPI. The total cost of spares is not that high and if you service outside with correct lubricants and spares, you should not encounter problems. New car owners need to service this car in authorised showroom where the labour cost is high and so there is a perception that it's expensive to maintain these. Spare parts are readily available pan India from sites like Boodmo etc and also local part shops. In fact in Mumbai itself there is a pan India VW part distributor by the name Saral Trading. Some critical parts are expensive, but in normal scenarios if the vehicle is in good condition you will not have to bear the high cost of that. Liva Diesel will be more reliable, because Toyota is a very reliable carmaker. The build of the Liva is not as strong as Polo, but other than that, Liva might just be more comfortable to own and maintain.
@@SujoyShivde Great explanation , please guide.... 2016 highline 1.2 l mpi ,22000kms, asking price 5,45000/-. How much should I pay for it.

I came across your channel today. Would want an advice, I’m planning on buying a used AT Car. I found a Grand i10 AT sports for 3.26 Lakh with 92,000 km. Looking for advice. Any rough figure as to how much a car like this could be ?
Hi! You'll get a 30-40k KMS old Grand i10 at 3-5L depending on the condition. I'd suggest you go for that. You can even go for the prefacelift grand i10 automatic. That might be a little cheaper as well. 92000kms is driven too much I think.

How much is the expense for Fitting a CNG Kit? If you don't run your car a lot, then I don't think the cost would be worth it.
@@SujoyShivde the cost is around 45k sir. And as of now my running is not that much. But looking at petrol prices I was thinking but not sure if it would be safe as well.
@@hotesh Some kits are good and definitely will improve mileage. But do some math as per your running to calculate how much you'd spend on petrol. If you run 6000kms a year, that means you'll spend 72000 a year on fuel. Considering such scenarios, a CNG Kit makes sense for most folks since petrol is too expensive lately

Hi Sujoy, we just went to the Hyundai showroom, this will be my first car and hence the need for an automatic car, we thought of booking i10 sportz, which car would you suggest if not for i10, thank you in advance 😀
You can also have a look at the Swift. i10 and Swift are both good first cars. Automatic option makes everything a lot convenient
Hi Sujoy, thanks a lot for these insights on long term use. I'm in the used car market for an auto hatch under 6L, mainly for city use and once a month mumbai-pune round trip. I'm getting a Grand i10 Auto Sportz Jan'2018 model 40k kms done for 6L. Should I go for it or is it steep?
The offer pricing you've received could be better. The car is great for the purpose you mentioned, but beware of the not so incredible mileage on this Petrol AT. In Pune City traffic it gives a max of 10km/l and on Pune Mumbai trips should give you max 13 km/l or so.
I have same can u tell me full tanks lasts for how many kilometers
In the city, about 300-320kms. Highway slightly more!
Now im feeling bit relieved that i am not only the one who got fooled😂😂. Seriously it comes around 7-8 kmpl in city. I would have bought used accord or something like that

Better buy Zen automatic. Made in Japan automatic gearbox. Hyundai has Korean automatic gearbox
Can't get a Zen automatic anymore, but the Korean 4 Speed AT is pretty neat too
@@SujoyShivde Many good condition Zen automatic cars are available. But they are costly (Around 2 lakh INR for a good condition Zen automatic).

My friend has one which has run 3.4 lakh km due for engine work. But automatic gearbox is still in good condition. Good pulling even after 3.4 lakh km. Made in Japan
Most Zen AT cars are owned by NRIs. They do not want to sell those cars bcoz the cars are running fine. You can see lots of Korean automatic cars for sale, most of them covered less than 75000 km. Why people are selling those cars while Zen automatic

The drive belt is a consumable, but it is not even remotely the driver's fault. Lack of an engine cover is a bad design decision by the manufacturer. And a drive belt going back in under 20k Kms is also concerning
Hi Sujoy
I'm from Kerala. I'm planning to buy a 2018 model grand i10 automatic . The owner's final price is 5,10,000. The car has already driven 54,000 kms. Is it a good deal or should I bargain for a fair deal.
Price is definitely on the higher side. Please try bargaining. While the car may be good, 54000kms on a car like i10 which was once sold around 7-8L rupees should have a higher depreciation in my opinion. Request you to check once on OrangeBookValue and try and make the owner reduce the price.
