Last year in August, Y.K Koo, MD, and CEO, Hyundai Motors India declared that the new Santro will be soon launched in India closer to Diwali this year. Hyundai is continuously testing the new Santro for India and seems like the launch is about to occur soon by this year. The car has been caught many times while testing and this time again, it is spotted near Delhi in camouflage.
The company has stopped selling the Santro back in 2016 after completing 16 years in the country. The fresh model of Hyundai Santro will take inspiration from the company\'s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design language which will make it equally competitive to rivals. Although, the new Santro will concentrate this time as well on its tall-boy stance and this time it will come providing more space in the cabin. The cabin will get more space along with new climate control and a new touchscreen.
