Hyundai Nigeria Launches 2021 Grand i10 Sedan, Petrol Kona
As a way of providing options to Hyundai Kona Electric Vehicle (EV) customers, Stallion Hyundai Motors Nigeria recently launched both locally assembled petrol-powered Hyundai Kona and all new 2021 Hyundai Grand i10 Sedan into the Nigerian market.
The company had late last year and recently (2021) launched Hyundai Kona Electric (EV) in Lagos and Abuja respectively.
Addressing newsmen during the latest launch held at Hyundai Motors Nigeria showroom, Victoria Island, Lagos, the brand’s Head (Sales and Marketing), Gaurav Vashisht said HMNL launched the Petrol-powered option of Kona for its regular customers.
He said: “Hyundai Kona EV and its Petrolpowered sibling are two diͿerent vehicles. While the Kona EV is powered by an electric motor and draws power from its 64 kwh battery, Kona Petrol is powered by the conventional but more advanced internal combustion engine.
“But the shape, size and dimension remain the same. Other similarities, apart from the same name are: infotainment, six airbags, tyre size as well as interior comfort and space.
“Powered by 2.0-litre engine, the 2021Kona Petrol version comes with most of the impressive and award-winning styling, equipment and safety features available in the Kona EV. It is also available at a comfortable price of N12.5million.”
Grand i10
Stallion Hyundai Motors Nigeria, Nigeria’s franchisee and assemblers of Hyundai brand, also introduced the 2021 Hyundai Grand i10, a car designed to appeal primarily to Entry Level buyers in their 20 - 30s, young families, single males and females, salaried and self-employed, budget-conscious, looking to downsize.
The Grand i10 hits target precisely by delivering modern design, spacious interior with advanced connectivity options, superior safety features and economical operation.
By virtue of its extended dimensions, long list of standard features and numerous optional extras, Grand i10, which competes with Toyota Yaris, Suzuki Dzire, Ford Figo and Chevrolet Sail, is a segment buster with the ability to poach buyers from the B-segment.
Grand i10 checks all the boxes— power, economy and comfort, while delivering all the safety expected of a family car. Superb driving dynamics are ensured by the advanced Kappa powertrain and an ultra-rigid body structure that helps enhance suspension, steering and braking performance.
Styling: From the very Àrst look, the new Grand i10 sedan demands attention and a closer investigation. From the large cooling aperture to the masculine character lines running along the hood, every detail reÁects purposeful strength and agility. Backward pointed headlamps convey a high tech feel, while skill-full applications of glossy paint add a premium touch.
