King of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan in an interview confirmed that the upcoming Hyundai small car (AH2) will be called the Hyundai Santro. Speaking to NDTV Car & Bike, ShahRukh revealed that he has a collection of Santros at his house. He added that the collection includes a first generation model, the Xing and ‘may even have the new Santro now’.
It is expected that the final name of the small car could have Santro with a suffix. Codenamed AH2, the upcoming Hyundai small car will go on sale in India on 23rd of October. Before launch, Hyundai will reveal the official name of the upcoming AH2 hatchback on October 9, 2018.
While the new Hyundai hatchback will retain the original tall-boy stance, it will feature an edgy design. The official sketch reveals the silhouette along with the flared wheel arches, muscular shoulder line, a slightly sloping roofline and a rear spoiler. It will come equipped with Hyundai’s signature cascading grille, steel wheels and silver hubcaps. Read – New Hyundai Santro – A Bigger Threat To Renault Kwid Than Tata Tiago
