All-new Hyundai Santro to be launched around Diwali
New Delhi: A test mule of the much anticipated all-new Hyundai Santro hatchback was recently caught testing in India again. The car is still heavily covered in camouflage, which indicates that there is still a while before the company is finally ready with the production model.
Hyundai has confirmed that the car will be launched around Diwali, and the car is likely to lock horns with the likes of the Tata Tiago, Maruti Suzuki Celerio and Renault Kwid. Also, the upcoming new-gen Hyundai Santro will take the place of the Hyundai i10 that was discontinued in India in 2016.
Internally, the new Hyundai Santro is known as the Hyundai AH2, and the car will be based on a new platform. This is not the first time the at car has been spotted in India, and despite the heavy camouflage, we can still see that the car will carry forward its tall-boy design and is expected to wider and offer better cabin space than before.
Although, being an entry-level offering, the Santro is expected to get steel wheels with a full wheel cover instead of alloys, and halogen headlamps instead of projector units. However, seeing the growing popularity of LED daytime running lamps, it's likely that the new Santro might offer LED DRLs.
Interior and feature details are still unknown, although we expect to see a decently-space cabin for five adults, a well-equipped dashboard and there is a possibility that Hyundai might even offer a touchscreen infotainment system. We expect the car to come with dual airbags and ABS as standard and rear parking sensors on the top-end model.
