Hyundai Grand i10 vs Kia Picanto
Sibling rivalry at the budget end — the Grand i10 and Picanto share corporate DNA but split on character: the Hyundai majors on space and practicality, the Kia on style and fun.
Hyundai Grand i10
The city car with big-car manners. The Grand i10 packs a roomy cabin, modern infotainment and Hyundai's famed warranty into one of the most affordable packages on the road. A first-car and family favourite.

The city car that made small cool. The Picanto is nippy, stylish, and famously cheap to run — with Kia's long warranty taking the worry out of ownership. The smart way into a brand-new car.
