Hyundai Grand I10 Nios Turbo doesn't sport any mechanical change except for the engine. Other mechanicals like steering and suspension are the same as before. Since both the Baleno RS and Tiago JTP are discontinued, Grand I10 Nios don't have a direct rival and it ends up being the only turbocharged hatchback in India at this price point.
