The car comes with surprising levels of refinement Surprising levels of refinement, low noise and relatively low vibration levels greet me when I crank the engine. There is a mild thrum at the seat and very mild vibration at the steering wheel and pedals when the engine is idling. But it is not intrusive and will not bother the occupants. During cruising speeds and after the engine settles into a healthy 3,000 rpm level, there is very little NVH to even suggest that it is a diesel engine. Hard acceleration does tend to remind you that there is a diesel engine in the bonnet, but even then it is surprising quiet compared to the other small diesels we have experienced.
The Grand i10 is likely be priced in the Rs 4.5 lakh to Rs 6.5 lakh range.
