Moving onto the interior, the styling trend continues. You’ll get a unique elephant inspired center fascia that generously extends the interior space, making it more spacious than its predecessor. So much so that it measures in at 3610 mm in length, 1645 mm in width and 1560 mm in height. While the grey and beige interior come standard across all variants, the Asta model will get an all-black interior along with color-matched interior trim along with green seatbelts.

Final Thoughts

Hyundai Santro shares a lot of its similarities with other Hyundai cars. The design resembles the likeness of Eon and Grand i10, which are the best-selling Hyundai cars in Nepal. Slotted between the Hyundai Eon and the Hyundai Grand i10, this will also be a city-oriented vehicle. Additionally, Santro comes with a refined engine with good low-end and mid-end performance. Despite hosting a good performance number, the top-end isn’t up to the mark.

At first glance, you’ll notice a lot of cost cuttings. For example, the Santro misses out on LED daytime running lights or projector headlamps. Similarly, the tail lamps are too conventional and not LED versions. But it doesn’t go as far as to make the car unpractical. It will do a great job in the real world scenarios as its predecessor.

As for the competition, the all-new Hyundai Santro will take on the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Celerio, the Tata Tiago and the Renault Kwid.
