Talking about Hyundai Santro, the small hatchback will be brand’s new entry-level hatchback. This means that the Eon will be phased out in near future. The new Santro will be equipped with several segment-first features including rear air-conditioning vents and a large 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. Adding to it, the small car will also get reverse parking camera. The new Santro will be powered by a 67bhp, 1.1-litre petrol engine.
The new Hyundai Santro is based on the modified i10’s platform and will meet the upcoming crash test norms. The hatchback will rival the likes of Tata Tiago and Maruti Suzuki Celerio. If reports are to be believed, the hatchback will be priced under Rs 4 lakh for the base variant. Going by the spy images, it is visible that the small car shares a lot of design cues from the Grand i10.
