Hyundai Grand i10 1.0 E MT (2015) vs Toyota Vios 1.3 E CVT (2016)

Hyundai Grand i10 1.0 E MT (2015) vs Toyota Vios 1.3 E CVT (2016): which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers looking for the most economical option, the 2015 Hyundai Grand i10 1.0 E MT is the clear choice with a price of ₱538,000 versus the ₱841,000 Toyota Vios 1.3 E CVT. The i10’s compact hatchback body, 5‑door layout and 2+3 seating make it ideal for city driving and small families, while its 998cc inline‑3 engine delivers 66 PS at 5,500 rpm and 94 Nm torque at 3,500 rpm—adequate for short commutes but less powerful than the Vios. The Vios, priced higher, offers a larger 1329cc inline‑4 engine with 99 PS at 6,000 rpm and 123 Nm torque at 4,400 rpm, giving it better acceleration and load‑carrying capability. Its sedan body type and 4‑door configuration provide a more spacious cabin for longer trips, though it is less fuel‑efficient and heavier. Warranty coverage differs: the i10 comes with an unlimited/5‑year plan, whereas the Vios has a 100,000 km/3‑year limit. If budget and city maneuverability are priorities, the i10 is preferable; if you need more power, a larger cabin, and can afford the higher price, the Vios is better suited for longer drives or a larger family.
