The population of pseudo SUVs has risen over the past few years. While Fiat, Volkswagen and Toyota have reworked hatchbacks of their own, Hyundai played their cards right by launching the i20 Active around the time waiting periods for the Elite i20 started rising. Now, Hyundai has just launched the Hyundai Grand i10X in Indonesia, in order to capitalize on what seems to be a global trend.

The car gets black plastic cladding around the wheel arches, side skirts and bumpers, day time running LEDs along the fog lamp housing, a faux skid plate, new alloy wheels, and black sash tape on the C pillar among other alterations. Mechanically, the car gets no changes.

Hyundai India has not stated any plans to launch this model. The South Korean automaker already sells around 8,500 units of the Grand i10 in India every month. While a new product launch could be considered at a later stage, features such as the LED DRLs may be tempting for some Indian buyers.
