How is the grand i10 the best of the lot if the bolt gives better equipment, is more spacious, handles better and is overall most comfortable? Is it a case of favouritism we see here because the i10 only scored higher in cabin quality and engine performance and refinement.
bolt is the best among hatchbacks...be it space ride handling features....really fantastic....just compare xms with swift vxi grand sportz figo trend liva v...long list of features on bolt abs airbags....mainly strong body compare weights...
I'm using Tata Bolt XM Petrol version.. Superb car with new exciting features, Harman Audio System , ABS Control, 3 modes like CIty, Eco (for better mileage) and Sports ( for high pickups and feel the drive).. Fantastic Car for long run even short run too. Good handling, Seat very comfortable, Mileage is good. So Go for it .. TATA BOLT.
The team at Autocar India has improved a great deal in terms of the videos and details as compared to the days of your. Good Job to the team and keep the good things going.. I have a suggestion to make here... when giving the verdict, I request you to review not just the top end trim levels and also comment on buyers interested in the base and mid trim levels... Most of the cars leave out all the features in the base models.... Ironically though it's the base and mid trim models that drive the major chunk of the Hatchback and Sub 4 meter and Mid sized sedans. Thanks.
I have grand i10 new model.(petrol) Performance is good Nice interior Good ground clearance The problem i feel is 1 - Milage is 10 km in city and 12-14 on highway (no service is done it is a new car) 2 - Power and Milage reduce when Ac on 3 - Suspension is not good compared to swift but it is ok not bad 4 - 2 elder person and 1 child is comfortable on rear side seat. Leg room is ok All other things are good. Nice quality plastics Cushion Infotainment system are ok 2 air bags on front Lots of space for holding bottles and cupd
The facelifted Liva although cant be compared to the Bolt and Grand i10 in terms of features but has way better reliabilty, highway high speed stability and much lower maintenance cost. If one dont care much about the no offensive looks then Liva is the car to take..
Souvik Jana your point about reliability is spot on. The etios sedan was not pretty but was one of the toughest and well build car with a very low maintenance cost. Same goes for liva.
I want most safe and comfortable one .. which will be best ??? And Grand i10 is 30k more costlier in kolkata than delhi ... My budget is around 5.5 ex showroom .. What about Liva V ?? any one please help ..
Samapan Paul Liva has bad build quality. Great engine but the sheet metal used for the body is very thin and this means it is less safe and also NVH is bad. Grand i10 is ok. Not bad and value for money. I feel Bolt could be a good car for you. Tata has decent build quality and the rear seats have good legroom. Frankly speaking I would ask you to go for Fiat Punto if safety is of prime concern but it is out ouf your budget. The second best is Ford Figo easily. Maybe outdated a bit but is still the second best hatch in India if you ask me. The petrol engine is underpowered but the Figo in general has decent build and comfy as well. Fits your budget.
***** Many many thanks Harish but I have visited ford showroom but figo don't have some basic feature even in top model (which is out of my budget) like they don't offer rear power window and most surprisingly one can't open whole rear window ... and although its back seat's legroom is decent but shoulder room is much more lesser than liva or bolt .. and it's interior is very old school and also ford has some after sales issues as per user review .. and also it's mileage is low ... after discussing with some expert in kolkata ... My choice stands between BOLT, Liva and Ritz .... It seems Ritz's bad looks as per my mom will automatically direct me to go for the product by world's largest car manufacturer .. NCAP rating of Liva is pretty good (I think they improved built quality in latest model) any safety is toyota's one of main focus and it has best in class back seat room and comfort (after visiting all above mentioned car in showroom) .. Now let's see whats happens at LAST ...
Dhiman Nick Thanks for reply Dhiman but i20 magna has no safety feature like ABS or Airbag and Xcent's top model price which has safety feature is pretty high ... And before I started researching I loved Hyundai cuz of their amazing looks and elite i20 was one of my fav but now I just don't like hyundai cuz they are least bother about safety under Verna .. i10 has no safety feature ... grand i10 has basic but they should have focused on ABS or AB than alloy wheels which they offers form mid range model ... Brand like Toyota, VW have made AirBag standard in their car .. anyway thanks again for you reply ..
sir acccording to me ur gonaa miss out in style and comfort in liva . that car is very zerky and for build quality i20 stands miles ahead .equipments is medicore and cabin quality is not upto the mark in the liva. however u may enjoy great resales value. u can go for the polo for it will give u power and safety. sir my brother is working in audi UK as a post of concept desginer .as far his reccomendation he told i20 will be the best.plz dont go for the liva . only reason going for liva is if u are planing to sell it later. im sure u will enjoy the elite
Thalaj Negative go for a diesel. If your running for a long stretch go for a Toyota because the engine life is best . You will not have a problem even after 2lakh+ kilometres. That's the Toyota promise
Tata is making some real good car but bad after sale service & low resale value . Liva good engine but rest is plastic & i10 is good but lack safety. IF i have to buy , i'l buy bolt
I am checking out hatchbacks for my wife. I have taken test drives of i10Grand, and Swift. I already have an older 1.3 lt swift. But surprisingly the new swift didnt feel so great to drive. I was really surprised. I like the swift especially for the power, but sorely disappointed. i10 seemed far better to drive, has far more features than swift. Although actually its the i20 which should be compared to the swift..still. Only thing is that i10 is much narrower, 3 people cant sit comfortably in the back seat. Suspension is not great, very bumpy. I wanted to test drive the Liva, Punto and KUV100. Guess what...the FIAT site shows no showroom in mumbai!!! Polo is ruled out...too expensive to maintain, boring engines. KUV has an interesting gear placement...in the lower half of the dash! They have seating for 3 in the front row!! Very interesting. Need to check it out.
+Shodhan Pujari I have bought Liva Limited Edition... It's a old wine in a new bottle.. It looks nice and eye catching.. rest are as reviewed by this video .. This car is extremely comfortable but lacks power a bit after 100kmph .. but this thing can be compromised to rest of its facility.. After all this machine is from Worlds no 1 car manufacturer TOYOTA ... TRUST TOYOTA ... thanks
I cruised my grand i10 at high speed of 180 km/h it was so stable compared to my swift nd one of my frnd's liva. How can u say tat it is not made up for strected road . I had been in all.hilly areas in north India with my grand diesel sportz limited edition which comes with every safety factor

SHASHANK R.S. tata bolt is the best till now..

Superb car with new exciting features, Harman Audio System , ABS Control, 3 modes like CIty, Eco (for better mileage) and Sports ( for high pickups and feel the drive).. Fantastic Car for long run even short run too. Good handling, Seat very comfortable, Mileage is good.
So Go for it .. TATA BOLT.
What about the milage, in City and Highways?? If possible please comment how it is in Eco, city and sports mode.
Toyota is best for reliability even if u ride 2lkh Kms engine will be same .
Service cost is also less than its rivals.

I have grand i10 new model.(petrol)
Performance is good
Nice interior
Good ground clearance
The problem i feel is
1 - Milage is 10 km in city and 12-14 on highway (no service is done it is a new car)
2 - Power and Milage reduce when Ac on
3 - Suspension is not good compared to swift but it is ok not bad
4 - 2 elder person and 1 child is comfortable on rear side seat. Leg room is ok
All other things are good.
Nice quality plastics
Cushion
Infotainment system
are ok
2 air bags on front
Lots of space for holding bottles and cupd
Liva scores the best in After sales service. But it does need a new facelift.
grand i10 top asta variant does not offer airbags n abs...safety....??
autocar shd mention all these as u r comparing prices too....!!!
Bolt is the better one....more practical
The facelifted Liva although cant be compared to the Bolt and Grand i10 in terms of features but has way better reliabilty, highway high speed stability and much lower maintenance cost. If one dont care much about the no offensive looks then Liva is the car to take..
Souvik Jana true that. The quality of liva is at a different level.
Souvik Jana your point about reliability is spot on. The etios sedan was not pretty but was one of the toughest and well build car with a very low maintenance cost. Same goes for liva.
Even in 2019?
Offensive looks? What do you mean bloke?
grande i10 has failed in crash tests.
Which car is best in city condition-Grand i10 sportz or swift vxi?
Tata Bolt has Best Looks
Etios Liva
I want most safe and comfortable one .. which will be best ??? And Grand i10 is 30k more costlier in kolkata than delhi ... My budget is around 5.5 ex showroom .. What about Liva V ?? any one please help ..

According to my opinion spend some few extra bucks and go for the xcent or i20 magna

Grand i10 best car ever
I cruised my grand i10 at high speed of 180 km/h it was so stable compared to my swift nd one of my frnd's liva. How can u say tat it is not made up for strected road . I had been in all.hilly areas in north India with my grand diesel sportz limited edition which comes with every safety factor

No hatchbacks r match with grandi10
Etios liva is a useless car
I suffered having it
Pick up is worst
I came through many dificulties
Pls dont buy this car
Dont suffer
