INTRODUCTION
The new Hyundai Santro 2018 is a far cry from its predecessor in every aspect, be it aesthetics, feature kit or presentation. Receiving radical changes, the new Hyundai Santro 2018 gets 14-inch steel wheels while it misses out on the alloys. The new Hyundai Santro variant line-up comprises D-Lite, Era, Magna, Asta and Sportz grades. To give it a cusp over rivals, Hyundai has kitted the entry-level hatchback well with comfort and infotainment bits, including features such as a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system supported by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the top-spec variant. Packed with advanced tech, the new Hyundai Santro price has been tagged competitively that gives it a push in the segment.
The new Hyundai Santro specifications comprise a 1.1-litre, 4-cylinder engine goof for maximum power of 68 bhp against peak torque of 99 Nm.
It comes linked to a standard 5-speed manual unit and an optional AMT unit that has been developed by Hyundai.
There is also an option of a CNG variant, which offers 59 bhp of power.
The list of safety features offered with the Santro includes a driver side airbag, which is standard across the line-up. Only the top-spec variant in the carline gets an additional co-passenger airbag. Other standard safety bits include ABS with EBD and seat belt pre-tensioners.
CONCLUSION
The updated Santro has evolved both in terms of aesthetics and on the feature front. Interestingly, this Santro is the first model from Hyundai to come with an AMT unit.

Need Improvement
When buying a new car in general one must look for things like body panels that are out of line, or load bearing beams that seem to have been damaged. The next thing to check whether the paint is original or it has been repainted, a quick check under concealed plastic panels is a great way to check for unmatched paint. Another thing to check for is underbody rust in humid or sea adjacent areas.
A good way to check if the car has been rear-ended is by checking the boot. Flip open the spare wheel cover and remove the wheel completely. If the car was repaired after an accident the floor will have visible signs as the surface wouldn’t be smooth as it would in an undamaged car.
In the end, always remember to check for complete documentation including service records. Also, do check with the insurance company for any past claims, which will make you aware of the accidents the car has been involved in. Last but not the least, get the car checked from a trusted workshop before closing the deal.
