Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hyundai's 'New Santro' likely to be its first car with Hyundai's AMT, will be positioned between Eon and Grand i10 . Test drive continues , now seen with Mahindra's KUV. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Link Last edited by volkman10 : 9th May 2018 at 10:25. |

| ![]() I am somehow getting a feeling that it would be some stripped down variant of Grand i10. Something like what Nissan did to Micra to make it Micra Active. |

| ![]() The 4 Cylinder engines (1.1 and 1.2) options were the X-factor for Santro and i10. Why is that all manufacturers these days are switching to 3 cylinders engines and bringing in the poor NVH and drivability for a mere increase in Fuel Efficiency? I own a 2008 i10(bought for around 4 lakhs) and a 2017 Tata Tiago (bought for around 5.5 lakhs). The real world city fuel efficiency is more or less is same, but i10 is better to drive and has enough power for city drives whereas Tiago feels a little sluggish in comparison. |

| ![]() Why the KUV 100? Is that the vehicle Hyundai is benchmarking it to? |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I really wonder what's the actual purpose of the whole camouflage thing in the auto industry. To hide or to scream for attention? ![]() It reveals more of what perhaps was intended to be hidden. |

But the really clever ones camouflage their car to look like an existing model or even like a competitor - http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian...ml#post1914886 Last edited by McLaren Rulez : 15th May 2018 at 15:25. | |

| ![]() It is nice to see the Santro brand making a comeback in the Indian market, Santro was the car that established the brand Hyundai in India. It seems the interiors would be more upmarket than the Eon & the old Santro. From the scoop photos I could notice the following things:
I am really hoping that the 1.1 Liter engine from the old Santro makes a comeback in this car. I have exclusively driven the old Santro, the old 1.1 IRDE i10 & in both the cases, the 1.1 L engine has impressed me. This engine has lots of low end torque & low end torque is very important for a car that is meant to be primarily a city car. The kappa engine is no match for this engine when it comes to city drive-ability. The 1.1 L engine also has a nice bassy exhaust note ![]() Last edited by chiranjitp : 15th May 2018 at 20:30. |

![]() I hope that Hyundai's 3 Cyl unit is peppier enough to meet the standards set by 1.1 or 1.2 engines 4 Cyl units. | |

- SOHC (Single Overhead Cam) - In short simpler, lesser effort and fantastic torque, albeit at a slight loss of FE. - Clutch was programmed to release the train early and clutch pedal had fantastic calibration (instant response) albeit at a slight loss of FE and lesser longevity to the clutch components although there are people who've driven the Santro for 1L kms without a clutch change. However, todays engines of Hyundai cannot match the drivability because : - VTVT - If you see this badge then rest assured that the engine is not explosive, but powerful. The difference is that you won't have instant lift-off, but rather a programmed, contained response. Almost every Hyundai engine from the 1.2, 1.6 and 2.0 with VTVT feel and respond the same according to power-to-weight. - DOHC - VTVT with DOHC, yup. Better fuel efficiency and better reliability at the cost of peppiness. Double overhead cams would mean more leverage but more complexity in how the engine moves, in short not operating the train as quickly and telepathically as one would like. Hyundai has transformed their car designs, their reliability has improved by leaps and bounds and today it would seem that nothing can stop them from increased sales, however in the long run I hope they kill off these DOHC, VTVT engines only to replace them with smaller turbocharged engines (like VW did) or to make cool old-school NA engines with bigger capacity and tuned ONLY for grunt. I'd love such a machine. | |

Although I consider it a mistake of not replacing it on time but despite that it kept on going even though the car was driven daily in Delhi's harsh traffic. I had to let the car go due to 15 year ban for the petrol cars in delhi, otherwise it would still have been a great daily driver. Last edited by Rshrey22 : 19th May 2018 at 03:09.
