New Polestar 4 2024 - pictures

2018 Hyundai Santro will replace the i10 from the automaker’s model line-up in India. It is going to come only with a petrol engine. Prices will fall in the range of INR 3.5 lakh to 5.5 lakh. Its primary competition is going to be the 2018 Maruti Suzuki Wagon R.

Hyundai India is all set to soon re-launch the Santro hatchback in our country. The latest iteration of this compact hatchback will come adorning an all-new personality. From the outside, the 2018 Santro is going to have Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design. While the interiors, as with any other car from the South Korean automaker, will boast of good quality materials. Not only this but expected the range-topping models to offer a decent feature list. In terms of safety, the car will come with dual airbags, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX child seat mounts as standard across the range. Expect this hatch to cost in-between INR 3.5 lakh to INR 5.5 lakh. Hence, its main competition is going to be the next-generation Maruti WagonR. More on this below.

2018 Hyundai Santro Launch Date

Hyundai has already commenced testing this hatchback on Indian roads. We were expecting to see its first public debut in India during the 2018 Auto Expo. However, that did not happen. Now we expect Hyundai to launch the next-generation of this vehicle in India sometime during the latter half of 2018.

Launch Date

Festive Season 2018

2018 Hyundai Santro Price

This new compact hatchback will replace the i10 hatchback in Hyundai model line-up in India. Hence, it will find its place in-between the Eon and the Grand i10. Consequently, expect the prices to fall in the range of INR 3.5 Lakh to INR 6 Lakh.

Expected Price

INR 3.5 Lakh to INR 5.5 Lakh

2018 Hyundai Santro Engine Specifications

The next-generation Hyundai’s small car will get a petrol engine in its line-up. This is going to be the same 1.0-litre motor that the current spec i10 uses. This motor produces 68 BHP of power along with 99 Nm of peak torque. The 2018 Santro is going to get a 5-speed manual transmission as standard. Hyundai might also introduce an automatic variant as well.

2018 Hyundai Santro Exteriors

One of the major changes that this hatchback is going to get is in terms of its exterior design. With this generation update, this vehicle will not lose its compact dimensions. The design will imply Hyundai Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design language. Consequently, expect the hatchback to get a sharp yet elegant exterior design. The 2018 Santro might borrow some of its design cues from the Grand i10. That said, in-line with other Hyundai vehicles, the overall exterior profile of the new Santro will portray an elegant layout. It will have a decent use of chrome accents, in order to enhance its premium appeal. Furthermore, going by the spy images, we can expect the Santro to come with a sharp silhouette, giving it a slight sporty character.

2018 Hyundai Santro Interiors

Another major change in the new Hyundai Santro is going to be its interior design layout. Hyundai cars always have a premium fit and finish of their cabins, irrespective of the segment in which the vehicle falls in. Hence, the next-generation of this vehicle is also going to have an up-market and plusher cabin. Buyers in the compact hatchback segment want their cars to be highly ergonomic and full of usable spaces. Hence, expect the new Santro to offer a wide array of storage spaces and practical features. Keeping in-line with the up-market appeal of the interiors, Hyundai is likely to provide this small car with a dual-tone colour scheme of back and beige.

2018 Hyundai Santro Features

Hyundai cars have always been a step ahead of its competition when it comes to loading their cars with features and creature comforts. Consequently, we expect the top-spec variant of the new Santro to get a host of features onboard. These may include a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate controls, steering mounted controls along with electrically adjustable ORVMS.

• Electrically Adjustable ORVMs
• Steering Mounted Controls
• Tilt Adjustable Steering Wheel
• Height Adjustable Driver’s Seat
• Automatic Climate Control
• Touchscreen Infotainment System
• Bluetooth Telephony
• Alloy Wheels
• LED Daytime Running Lights

2018 Hyundai Santro Safety Features

Apart from features, this hatchback will also score high in terms of its safety quotient. Right from the base variant, the 2018 Santro is going to get ABS with EBD and dual-airbags as standard. In addition to this, the hatchback will also get ISOFIX child seat mounts.

• ABS with EBD
