Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.06L more for the Grand i10 Nios Asta: tyre pressure monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (8" against 7") and rear parking camera. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Grand i10 Nios Asta: cruise control, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Grand i10 Nios Asta, you give up connected car tech, headlamps (LED projector against Halogen) and speakers (6 against 4), which the Swift ZXi keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Swift ZXi if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.06L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Asta if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
