Verdict: The Swift is more expensive in this case despite the Grand i10 Nios having more valuable features. We appreciate the Swift packing ISOFIX child seat anchors compared to Nios. However, in the battle between the entry-level automatic variants, the Grand i10 Nios emerges as the winner as it offers better value.

Verdict: The Grand i10 is the more expensive option here, and that too by a premium of Rs 22,000. However, the amount of kit on offer in the Hyundai makes it a better alternative to the Swift. The Grand i10 is definitely the more value-for-money package of the two and the premium over the Swift in this case is more than justified.

It offers quite a bit of kit that is not present on the Grand i10 Nios. the Hyundai hatchback too offers features that are equally important and are not present in the Maruti Swift. What pulls it in favour of the Grand i10 Nios is the touchscreen infotainment system and digital instrument cluster.
