Hyundai has silently launched the BS6 compliant Santro in India amidst this lockdown. The BS6 Hyundai Santro now has a starting price of Rs 4.57 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and is available in either petrol or petrol-CNG derivatives. Hyundai launched the Santro towards the end of 2018 for a starting price of Rs 3.89 lakh but later increased prices by Rs 25,000 on the base trim and also discontinued the entry-level D-Lite and Era variants.
Here’s a variant-wise price break up of the BS6 Hyundai Santro

As we see, Hyundai has finally introduced the AMT gearbox option on the Asta variant of the Santro, which now comes for Rs 6.25 Lakhs (ex-showroom). It was previously only offered on the Magna and Sportz variants with the BS4 model. With the BS6 update, prices have gone up by an average of Rs 27,000, depending on the variant. The price is actually a bit steep because, at Rs 6 lakh mark, you can also buy the BS6 Grand i10 which continues to be sold alongside the Grand i10 Nios.
