Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is all set to introduce the brand new version of the Santro. The revival of one of the household names among domestic customers is expected to bring in huge volumes for Hyundai and it sticks by the tallboy design philosophy of the original model.

The all-new Santro is based on the HA platform of the last generation i10 and it has been modified to suit the upcoming safety standards. The All new Hyundai Santro is powered by updated 1.1-litre four-cylinder petrol engine which is good enough to produce a maximum power output of 69 PS and 99 Nm of peak torque.

The only powertrain choice of the All new Hyundai Santro is connected to either a conventional five-speed manual or Hyundai’s first five-speed AMT in the form of ‘Smart Auto’. The second largest automaker in the country has grafted the interior well to allow for upmarket features while the visual elements are nothing short of appealing.

With online bookings starting on October 10, dealerships will commence pre-bookings ahead of the new Santro’s market entry on October 23. The hatchback targets first-time buyers looking to own a well packed machine and it will compete against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Renault Kwid and Tata Tiago in the highly competitive space.
