Hyundai Motor India has silently introduced the new CNG equipped Magna variant of the Grand i10 in the market. The Hyundai Grand i10 Magna CNG is priced at Rs. 6.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and brings the alternate fuel convenience to the mid-level trim of the hatchback. It has to be noted that the Grand i10 was only available with the CNG option for fleet buyers on the Prime version, but is now offered to private buyers as well for the first time as a factory fitted option. With the shift towards petrol-powered vehicles, the new CNG version is likely to see a surge in demand for those looking at attaining higher fuel efficiency.

The car comes paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and rides on 14-inch wheels. With respect to features, the car is offered with a 2-DIN audio system with Bluetooth connectivity, rear AC vents, electric ORVMs, steering mounted controls and more. The Magna variant also gets dual front airbags, ABS with EBD as standard.
