Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.41L more for the Grand i10 Nios Asta: the Grand i10 Nios Asta shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds tyre pressure monitor. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Grand i10 Nios Asta: touchscreen (8" against 7"), wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, rear parking camera and cruise control, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Grand i10 Nios Asta, you give up 60:40 split rear seat, which the Glanza S keeps
- Choose the Toyota Glanza S if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.41L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Asta if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
