Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Old Vs Facelift — Design Changes

The new Grand i10 Nios facelift comes with an updated design to help it differentiate itself from the outgoing model. To start with, the Grand i10 Nios facelift gets an updated grille that sits lower and gets a larger mesh pattern. The LED DRLs now get a tri-arrow design and sit lower on the bumper. Due to the low placement of the LED DRLs, the Nios now misses out on fog lights. Around the side, the Grand i10 Nios facelift gets new 5-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels and chrome door handles. At the rear, the biggest change is the connected light bar for the LED tail lights. The rear parking camera now sits below the lightbar and not above the registration plate.
