The once popular segment of turbo hatchbacks just isn’t there anymore. Both the Maruti Baleno RS and the Tata Tiago JTP have been laid to rest. Clearly, there's no dearth of enthusiasts in the country. But these hatches get used as family cars, and our families often scoff at the thought of a million rupee 'small car'. So now if you want to have turbocharged fun in under Rs 10 lakh, Hyundai is the carmaker that you will have to look towards. But before you put money down for the Grand i10 Nios Turbo, there are some things you should know.
A. Priced at Rs 7.70 lakh and Rs 7.75 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it is available only in the Sportz and Sportz Dual Tone variants, which sit below the top-spec Asta in terms of features.
B. It costs about a lakh more than the standard 1.2-litre petrol Sportz DT variant and gets no more features or quirks to distinguish itself apart from the two turbo badges, one on the grille and the other on the boot.
It's also asking for more compared to the 1.2 Asta, while missing out on a few key features like push button start stop, adjustable rear headrests and rear wiper and washer. So, is the sporty quotient of the Turbo Nios strong enough to overpower the sensible family man in you and make you spend that extra money just for the performance?
