Safety and After Sales Service – All variants of the Santro get ABS and driver-side airbag as standard while the higher variants get dual front airbags. Nothing needs to be sad about Hyundai’s sales and service network which is one of the best in the country.
Verdict – The 2019 Hyundai Santro is a very impressive package offering a lot. It may not look the part but it is very practical and comfortable, gets a good performing engine and offers lots of features which customers will definitely like. When the prices of the car were announced on 23rd October, a lot of people felt that it is over-priced when compared to rivals, but after spending a considerable amount of time with the car I can easily say that the additional premium is well worth paying. The Hyundai Santro feels like a proper car and not something that is bare bones.
