| ![]() Anybody else think this looks like the lovechild of the Getz and the i10?!! ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() It looks...well...shocking. Not too pleased with the design. But then the original Santro was one of the ugliest cars of its time, so I'm guessing it's staying true to tradition. ![]() My only grouse is that it doesn't look like a 'tall boy' anymore. That said, it packs a number of first in class features. That, along with the traditional Santro build quality should make it a force to reckon with. Is this the beginning of another Santro vs WagonR war? ![]() |

In fact the car has lot of elements from i10 (side profile, inside door trims etc) Last edited by Guna : 9th October 2018 at 14:26. | |

| ![]() While it doesn't seem to resemble the older Santro, I personally like the looks of this new version as well. If I were in the market for a small hatch, this and Tiago would be the only ones I will look at. The door handles look very outdated though. How much will they save by not including the pull type modern ones? |

| ![]() Underwhelming end result from a looks point of view. Hyundai could have done a better job. I mean, it's not like people expect a Santro to be looker but IMHO the Santro Xing had a more cohesive design than this one. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The side profile looks very underwhelming and looks a decade old. The outing Santro design had a character of it's own. Looks like a poor copy of the Gi10 from the front and back while side looks as a copy of the i10. Quote: | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() In effect what this appears to my eyes is the old i10 updated & refreshed wearing new clothes. The creases in the front fender - front door & rear door- rear fender appear to needlessly complicate the side profile. Although I would wait for actual outdoor better quality pictures before declaring this an ugly duckling! |

| ![]() Hyundai is advertising this as having a vertical shock absorber. I'm not familiar with the technical aspects of a car, so, is this a game changer? Based on the suspension features, is this going to be a game changer? |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() In my opinion, Hyundai designs have started taking a nosedive, again. This one tries too hard, incorporating many styling elements, and does not hold a candle to the clean-cut design of the erstwhile i10 (or even the older Santro). I'm not a fan of the black inserts on either side of the grille, the creases above the wheel arches (a trait shared with the Mahindra KUV1OO), and the very A-Star like boot profile. At least, the interiors look decent enough for its price point! Last edited by RoverX : 9th October 2018 at 18:12. Reason: Removal of previously posted content |

| ![]() This shall not have the Fun factor that the previous Santro had, with 90Nm being delivered at 3000 RPM and 80% of it coming in at 1800 odd. So the pull shall surely be missing. |

I guess this really takes the game forward in the entry level hatchback market. A sign of the Indian market maturing? I agree that the styling is a bit "different". | |
