Quick, think of a premium Indian hatchback., which is also popular globally. If I were to ask you that question, I’m sure that the Hyundai i10 would feature in almost every response.
For small car buyers looking for an upgraded experience, the i10 proved to be the affordable, but feature-laden option when it was first introduced. Though by current day standards, we might consider the first-gen model, introduced in 2007, to be rather Spartan, the i10 managed to capture the imagination of the buyer then. The facelift launched in 2010 upped the appeal a notch higher.
As the landscape for small cars evolves and as the expectations and aspirations of buyers in the segment rises, there is an inevitable need to keep pushing up the benchmark. In the small car space, Hyundai has often been the one setting up that point of reference for the other car makers to try and beat.
