Hyundai i10 Updates

Roof rails are used to carry luggage and some other things like surfboards, kayaks etc which use special mounts which latch on to these roof rails

the ones that came preinstalled on my car does not have holes in it. so i am not sure how you can connect anything to it

 

[dextermorgan]

Those mounts attach to the rails No need for any holes

Roof rails of Grand i10 doesn't looks like it can hold anything
BTW how is performace of Grand i10 Diesel? what are +ve/-ve of Diesel variant?

 

[Sushubh]

when i was checking out these models... i was told that the diesel grand is kind of under powered. i did not however take a test ride because it was out of my budget and i was pretty clear on taking a petrol car.

sadly i find the petrol car under powered but that is likely because i drove diesel cars for the last 4-5 years and i still expect the car to get into turbo mode after crossing 2500rpm.

it has been more than a year and i still drive my grand like a diesel car

I guess all small size diesel car would be under powered. We cannot expect power like Sedan or SUV from small cars.

well. here in india. companies have access to only a few engine options so usually you get the diesel engines designed for hatchbacks in sedans. fiat's multijet engine is a good example. the one in the grand i10 however was developed specifically for smaller hatchbacks though i am guessing the same engine is also being used to power the diesel variant of the xcent? not sure though.

Can any owner check and tell what all tools are in the toolkit that comes with the car? I just need to verify if my toolkit is complete.

 

[Sai]

There should be a reflective triangle, spare bulbs, jack and jack lever,spanner, towing rod and first aid kit. These things were in my cousin's i20 CRDi. Should be similar in your Grand i10.

the jack lever is in the same pocket. so total of three items. sounds good. i am not sure if i still have the triangle in the car. have not seen it in a while. but at least i have the stuff that is needed for a puncture.

i asked because a friend took the unopened toolkit from me. and i only got it back after a few days. so i was not sure if he had not misplaced anything.
