Hyundai i10 Series Stopped Forever

Hyundai i10

Hyundai i10 is a sporty and stylish car produced by the South Korean manufacturer giant Hyundai since 2007. It replaced the Hyundai Atos in the model line-up and has been available only with a five-door hatchback body style. Hyundai launched the Grand i10 in India, which has received an outstanding response from the buyers across the nation. Now, the company has stopped selling the i10 hatchback. Moreover, it has also discontinued the two top end variants - the Sportz and Asta.The second generation of the car was presented in August 2013 and is planned for release in early 2014. A slightly larger version, developed for the Indian market, will also be released in September 2013, as the Grand i10. The i10 has a large gaping air-dam, pulled-back headlamps, chrome-lined grill, integrated clear lens fog lamps, a bonnet that has a clam shell hint and a rear window with an upswept kink. The tailgate has a chrome-lined boot-release handle and an integrated roof spoiler on the top- end versions.

This has helped the company to create some space between the prices of Grand i10 and top end variants of i10, as the price gap between these models was quite narrow. Hyundai recently hiked the prices of its entire model range except Grand i10, which further narrowed the gap between the top end i10 models and Grand. The Hyundai i10 is now available in two variants - the Era and Magna, and are powered by the 1.1-litre iRDE engine. This discontinuation of the top end variants has also removed the automatic transmission option in the i10 lineups. The company will soon going to launch an automatic transmission version of Grand i10 in India. 

All variants of the i10 powered by the 1.2 litre DOHC Kappa2 engine with variable valve timing have been discontinued, the automatic version of Hyundai i10 which was also powered by the 1.2 motor has bitten the dust too. At this point Hyundai does not have any compact automatic hatchbacks, but an automatic gearbox for the Grand i10 is on the cards. This would be a good time to crack a good deal on one of the higer-end trims of the i10 that are to be discontinued as the powertrain will continue to live on in the Grand i10 and spare parts are easily available for the i10.

If the vehicle is continuously driven and the noise symptoms are ignored, it could lead to the RTB unit breaking, resulting in diminished ride and handling and break performance potentially rendering the vehicle inoperable. In the case of the PAS Hose issue, the company said, "there was a potential for development of an oil leak, which could result in potential fumes being emitted from the area causing the leak.
