Grand i10 Nios vs Swift vs Figo: Hyundai’s new hatchback takes on rivals from Maruti and Ford

20th Nov 2019 6:00 am

The Grand i10 Nios takes small however vital steps to maneuver the sport ahead on this class. We deliver alongside its two closest rivals to see if it could greatest them.

We stated in our first drive of this Grand i10 Nios that it was fairly refreshing to see a new hatchback after a protracted spell of nothing however crossovers and SUVs, and now that we’ve introduced in its two essential rivals for a comparability check, I’m reminded of why we like them a lot. When you consider it, these vehicles provide not a lot much less by the use of practicality, consolation and options than most sub-four-metre ‘SUVs’, and if something, they’re extra enjoyable to drive and, to not point out, cheaper. So, let’s measurement them up, lets? The Grand i10 Nios – longer in identify, not that a lot greater in measurement, however with a extra upmarket inside. The Figo – the quintessential driver’s selection, the oldest of this bunch generationally, however with just a few tips up its sleeve but. And lastly, the Swift – which, for some purpose, Maruti says isn’t a rival for the Nios (we beg to vary) – is the one to beat on the gross sales charts. Though it’s not fairly the firecracker its forebears had been, remains to be a power to be reckoned with.

  Feel-Good Factor

One of Hyundai’s perennial strengths has all the time been its interiors, and that’s true right here too. The Nios inside feels actually particular, with wealthy plastics (for probably the most half; you’ll nonetheless discover the odd primary bit) and a design that simply wows you with its myriad colors and textures. Though the sunshine shade seems to be prefer it would possibly catch stains fairly quickly, there’s little question it provides a premium really feel. Things I notably like are the rotary air vents, the large binnacle that homes the touchscreen and instrument cluster (although it cuts into your view ahead barely) and the wealthy material upholstery. In true Hyundai ‘tall boy’ vogue, you’re sat fairly excessive up within the driver’s seat.

The Nios’ inside design and high quality feels a reduce above the remaining and provides a premium really feel.

The view ahead from the Swift’s driver’s seat is of a pair of racy hooded dials seen by the rim of a flat-bottom steering wheel, and in case your view out is impeded, it’s since you’re meant to sit down low for that sporty really feel (there’s top regulate on all these vehicles, after all). The dashboard is extensive and raked again with an all-black theme, with just a few gray accents livening it up. The seats are extensive (although a bit mushy) and have beneficiant aspect bolstering to carry you in place. Plastic high quality is sweet, however on the similar time there’s nothing in right here that wows you.

Swift cabin is the sportiest in design and is sensible too.

The Figo, too, has an all-black inside, however on this range-topping Titanium Blu variant, there are neat blue accents and touches of chrome to liven issues up. The driving place right here is sporty too, with a compact, chunky steering wheel, although the seat isn’t fairly as supportive or accommodating because the Swift’s. I like how they’ve built-in a touchscreen into the sprint with the facelift the place there wasn’t one earlier than, and that there’s a pleasant shelf for a cell phone within the dashboard. But you may’t escape a lot of scratchy plastics within the cabin, and the truth that this inside feels fairly dated now. The instrument cluster, particularly, seems to be a technology behind.

The Figo’s cabin is useful however seems to be dated and has some tough edges.

Family Friendly

Get previous the look and really feel although, the Figo does a minimum of have a reasonably spacious inside. The again seat can seat three abreast and although it appears a bit flat, it does provide good assist. However, there aren’t any storage bins within the rear doorways, and whereas it does have sufficient area, the opposite two merely provide extra. The Swift feels the widest  on this check, and it does provide a bit extra knee room than the Figo. The small home windows, made worse by the shortage of 1 / 4 glass (blame that fancy, high-mounted exterior door deal with on the C-pillar) nevertheless, do make issues really feel a bit claustrophobic within the again. The bench doesn’t provide a variety of thigh assist both. Amazingly, for what’s the smallest car on the skin, the Nios feels probably the most spacious within the again. If there’s a criticism, it’s maybe that the backrest angle is a bit too closely raked, however that’s down to private desire. It presents up probably the most knee- and headroom of the three, its gentle colors and large home windows give a fantastic sense of area, the bench has good thigh assist and the door pockets are the biggest. And the icing on the cake? A set of rear AC vents, which the opposite two don’t have. It even has a giant boot, with 260 litres, though the opposite two aren’t too far off – the Figo has 257 litres and the Swift has 268 litres. All three vehicles have barely tall loading lips, however the Ford’s boot opening comes throughout as notably slim as nicely.

Nios’ backseat feels (and is) probably the most spacious.

Tricks Or Treats

Apart from inside design and high quality, Hyundais have all the time been recognized for his or her lengthy and class-leading gear lists. However, you get the sense that the boundaries have already been pushed to their restrict for this phase by the earlier Grand i10, and there’s solely a lot additional a car can go at this worth. Moreover, rivals have caught up on the gear entrance, and now all three vehicles provide one thing helpful and distinctive. You can see the exhaustive listing within the desk, however right here’s what units every of those vehicles aside.

Hyundai touchscreen probably the most fashionable of the lot.

The Figo is the one car right here with six airbags and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and it additionally will get the benefit of computerized wipers. It is, nevertheless, the one car right here to overlook out on Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in its touchscreen infotainment system, which seems like a major omission, particularly since its siblings the Aspire and Freestyle do get it. The Swift, in the meantime, is the one one with full-LED headlamps and a rear seat that may be break up 60:40 earlier than it folds. At 8.Zero inches, the Grand i10’s touchscreen is the biggest right here, and although it doesn’t have the linked tech of its greater sibling, the Venue, it’s Hyundai’s newest working system – probably the most useful and feature-loaded on this check. You additionally uniquely get a wi-fi cell phone charger, rear AC vents, and a digital rear-view mirror (the rear-view digital camera feed might be displayed completely on display). What you do miss within the Hyundai, which the others get, is computerized headlamps.

Ford’s touchscreen is slick, however misses smartphone connectivity.

Motive Force

When it involves the engines, all three use 1.2-litre petrols – the Nios and Swift’s every having 4 cylinders, and the Figo sporting three. The large distinction is that Maruti and Hyundai have upgraded their engines to BS6 emissions requirements, whereas the Ford remains to be BS4 compliant, with the improve due nearer to the April 2020 deadline. However, whereas the Hyundai and Maruti make an similar 83hp, the Figo makes a strong 96hp! The torque scores are a little bit nearer stacked, with the Grand i10 making 114Nm, the Swift 113Nm and the Figo 120Nm. But then the Swift’s bantamweight 885kg kerb weight brings its energy to weight ratio fairly near the Figo’s.

Huge Hyundai grille uniquely homes the DRLs.

Hyundai’s Kappa2 engine already wasn’t probably the most potent of its variety in BS4 guise, and much more of its pep appears to have been sapped in BS6 guise. Not serving to issues is the Grand i10’s tall gearing, probably carried out within the curiosity of gasoline economic system. Performance, because of this, is merely sufficient, and there’s a definite lack of enthusiasm off the road, and much more so by the gears. You’re extra inclined to rev it to choose up some tempo, however when you get to round 3,000rpm, it will get fairly vocal, and it’s not the nicest sound both.

Specifications Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Maruti Suzuki Swift Ford Figo L/W/H 3805/1680/1520mm 3840/1735/1530mm 3941/1704/1525mm Wheelbase 2450mm 2450mm 2490mm Tyre measurement 175/60 R15 185/65 R15 195/55 R15 Engine 4-cyls, 1197cc, petrol 4-cyls, 1197cc, petrol 3-cyls, 1194cc, petrol Power 83hp at 6000rpm 83hp at 6000rpm 96hp at 6500rpm Torque 114Nm at 4000rpm 113Nm at 4200rpm 120Nm at 4250rpm Gearbox 5-speed guide 5-speed guide 5-speed guide

The Swift’s Okay12 engine was all the time a peppy one, with a robust backside finish and even a reasonably good high finish. The excellent news is that little or no of that appears to have been misplaced within the transition to BS6, and all you would possibly discover is a slight hesitation throughout a mild begin off the road and and just a few very delicate flat spots when lugging the engine in a gear. In reality, put up towards our timing gear, the acceleration from relaxation was virtually similar, and it’s lower than half a second slower by the gears. If something, it feels a little bit bit quieter, and that’s solely a great factor.

After the actually spectacular 1.5-litre ‘Dragon’ engine within the EcoSport (to not point out a number of spectacular Ford petrol engines of the previous), the Figo’s 1.2-litre petrol seems like a little bit of a letdown. This is especially true at low speeds the place, just like the Nios, there’s a definite lack of pep, which implies you’ll end up doing a variety of gear-shifting when shifting across the metropolis. However, when you get it into the mid-range and past, it wakes up fairly properly and feels fairly keen. And you’ll wish to rev it too, as a result of it makes a lovely three-cylinder sound. The result’s, in case you actually wring it out on a pleasant street, you would have an absolute blast within the Figo, however in additional mundane driving circumstances, it feels a bit sluggish.

    That exhibits within the efficiency figures, the place the Ford is the slowest each from a standstill and by the gears. The Swift is by far the quickest from relaxation and by the gears. The Hyundai’s efficiency is in the midst of the pack, which is simply as nicely as a result of in contrast to the opposite two, this one doesn’t really feel like being hurried in any respect.

Getting A Handle

The Nios definitely doesn’t really feel like being hurried by corners. In basic Hyundai vogue, it’s all about comfort and ease of driving. It begins with the tall-boy seating place and goes on to a lightweight and lifeless steering, with numerous physique roll by within the bends. The Nios is an enchancment on earlier i10s although; the steering does have a little bit of synthetic weight to it (at decrease speeds) and it does return freely to centre.

This is one thing the Swift’s steering simply doesn’t do, which is a giant blemish on an in any other case glorious dealing with bundle. Like all Swifts earlier than it, this third-generation car has a well-sorted chassis, and although the suspension has gotten a little bit softer, composure and physique management stay reasonably glorious. It’s simply that your hyperlink to that chassis – the wheel – feels free and disconnected at low speeds. It makes for good manoeuvrability and it does weigh up once you go quicker, however the Swift is not the handler its forebears had been.

  The Figo – now that’s a enjoyable dealing with car! The steering is fast, millimetre-accurate and a fantastic conduit of knowledge between the entrance wheels and your fingertips. Then there’s the chassis, which mixes the consolation of the pre-facelift Figo with a few of the intelligent suspension tuning of the erstwhile Figo Sports Edition. It’s simply an absolute pleasure to fling round a collection of corners. The steering doesn’t even really feel heavy at decrease speeds, so at no level does it go away you feeling like it’s important to work it round site visitors.

The better part is that experience hasn’t been compromised within the Figo both; it feels comfy and secure at nearly all speeds. To its credit score, so does the Swift, which as I stated earlier, can be very nicely judged. The Grand i10, notably this petrol model, is softly sprung, and so that you would possibly get some low-frequency float over an undulating street, however at low speeds, it’s actually comfy.

Swift’s full-LED headlamps have a robust beam.

Pocketful Of Sunshine

Small, nimble, premium, inexpensive, sensible do-it-alls is what these three vehicles are. Fun additionally performs an element, and you might recall the Figo received our fun-to-drive hatchback comparability when it was new. If that was the precedence of this check, it will nonetheless win regardless of that engine, as a result of it doesn’t matter what, the Ford stays the driving force’s selection. It helps that, at Rs 6.65 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s additionally probably the most inexpensive right here. It compromises in locations similar to area and practicality that permit it down in its function because the household hatchback, and the very fact it’s exhibiting its age now.

The Swift stays a fantastic household car and does nonetheless have a touch of enjoyable to the way in which it drives – it’s definitely acquired the strongest engine. Also, although styling might be subjective, I personally like the way in which it seems to be greatest of those three. In reality, on the entire, there’s not so much to fault with the Swift, aside from maybe its worth, which at Rs 7.53 lakh, is the very best of this trio.

It’s simply that the Grand i10 Nios does most issues a little bit bit higher. It’s not geared for enjoyable driving and it’s acquired a weak powertrain, however as a metropolis car, it’s fairly glorious. It’s acquired the sting on the others on area, it’s acquired a modern-looking inside and a powerful gear listing. But most of all, it feels premium and inviting, like your cash (an affordable Rs 7.14 lakh on this top-spec Asta guise) has actually gone far, and that is one thing it undoubtedly does higher than the opposite two.

In right now’s world of SUV this and crossover that, the quintessential household hatchback has to work exhausting to win you over, and the Grand i10 Nios does this effortlessly.

Verdict Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Maruti Suzuki Swift Ford Figo Price (ex-showroom, Delhi) Rs 7.14 lakh Rs 7.53 lakh Rs 6.65 lakh Rating 8/10 8/10 8/10 Verdict Big on area, straightforward to drive, and feels very upmarket. Strong engine and a great all-rounder however costly. Incredible enjoyable to drive and good worth however feels dated.
