Hyundai began its Indian innings with the Santro. The small hatch took the country by storm and from then on, the brand has had a slew of hatchbacks in its portfolio which included the ever-so-popular i10, the Grand i10, and then the Grand i10 Nios. Not to forget that the Hyundai i20 had been ruling the roost in the segment above. But with the advent of compact SUVs, the hatchback market started to take a hit. Come to think of it, the Venue outsells most hatchbacks in Hyundai’s portfolio. But then, there are still steady followers of the hatchback in India and hence it was just apt to keep the Grand i10 Nios updated. That’s exactly what has happened.
