Hyundai Grand i10 Sedan spied ahead of its launch

Hyundai Grand i10 sedan, just a few days away from its much anticipated Indian debut, was spied as a test mule. It has been caught testing several times on the Indian roads and as clearly visible, Hyundai is not leaving any stone unturned to make it a completely refined vehicle with performance level at its best.
 In the images, one can easily witness the VTVT badge, darkened B-Pillar and an indicator bulb above the wheel. While the interiors of Grand i10 hatchback are retained in this new sedan including the dashboard and seats. Rumors are also doing the round that Hyundai may also introduce an automatic variant of this sedan with the company's traditional 4-speed automatic transmission, which is already doing duties to its younger sibling, Grand i10 hatchback.

The company would offer the Grand i10 sedan with the same 1.2-liter Kappa VTVT engine; thus retaining the engine because of its decent performance in the Grand i10 hatchback. Most probably, Hyundai will incorporate its conventional five-speed manual gearbox with the engine due to its cost-effectiveness. The Grand i10 sedan is speculated to be making its debut just before the inception of the 2014 Indian Auto Expo, most favorably on Feb 4, 2014.
