New 2018 Hyundai Santro Details Revealed — Expected To Launch Soon

Exterior upgrades on the 2018 Hyundai Santro include, high set fog lamps placed closer to the headlamps, character lines, pull-up door handles, bulky taillights and black inserts on the rear bumper with a straight reflector.

On the Inside, the car features a dual-tone black and beige interior, with steering mounted controls, power windows controls placed behind the gear lever and seats with fixed headrest.

Other features include electronically adjustable ORVMs with turn indicators, rear wipers and a flat boot space.

The near-production hatchback, however, missed out on an Infotainment system, push-button start, keyless entry and alloy wheels.

Hyundai allowed very few customers to inspect the model, while also allowing them to take it for a short drive. There was no mention of the engine specifications powering the new hatchback.

However, there was a mention that Hyundai might offer a factory-fitted CNG kit on the new Santro. This CNG variant would be mainly focussed on the taxi market, while private owners can also opt for the CNG kit at a premium of Rs 50,000.

Thoughts On The 2018 Hyundai Santro

The 2018 Hyundai Santro is expected to be launched sometime in August 2018. Once launched, the 2018 Santro will take on rivals such as the Tata Tiago, Maruti Celerio and the WagonR.

Though the prices of the Santro is yet to be announced, we can expect it to be priced similarly to its competition at Rs 3 to 5 lakh range, ex-showroom.
