Hyundai Motor India Ltd’s bestseller, the Santro has gone in for a minor facelift. The change has mainly been focused on livening up the interiors to cope with the increasing competition in the small car market; however for customers it just spells a simple thought that one of the best small cars in the market now offers even more appeal.
The refreshed Santro now sports a body coloured radiator grill and full wheel covers. A rear spoiler adds a dash of glamour to the rear of the car however the overall design largely remains the same as the present model. The real change lies inside the car.

Hyundai has taken the liberty to carry out significant design revisions on the interiors of the Santro. The new car now comes with a dual tone beige-brown fabric and touches of silver at multiple locations in the cabin which work well to give the interiors a bright fresh new look. The front seats have been changed to offer more comfort and style. Other additions to the car include a rear parcel tray as standard fitment to aid in convenience of storing items.

Under the hood, the new Santro remains the same and the tried and tested 1.1 litre eRLX Epsilon engine that develops 63PS@5500rpm and churns out 98 Nm@3000rpm of torque continues to offer great performance and exceptional mileage.
Speaking about the new Santro, HMIL MD, H. S Lheem said, “Santro has been a phenomenal success in India right from the time of its launch. The customers have shown tremendous faith in the technology, design and safety that this product offered. This is why even today Santro’s success continues unabated in India even after a decade.
