Listed below are some other noteworthy features of the Hyundai Santro.

Hyundai Santro is a compact hatchback:

The Hyundai Santro is a compact, yet comfortable hatchback. Based on the Grand i10's K1 platform, it provides greater interior space and rear legroom than the i10. It also has a longer wheelbase and more ground clearance than the i10, which translates to better handling and more room in the cabin. Inside, the Santro offers plenty of comfort and space, and the 235-litre boot is a decent size. The Santro's standard interior is well laid-out with dual-tone colours, and the optional black interior comes with a gold insert around the gear lever. The 7-inch touchscreen in the centre console is a great feature, and a multi-information display sits alongside a steering-mounted audio control.

It was launched in India in 1998:

Since its introduction in 1998, the Hyundai Santro has established itself as the perfect family car. The car has helped Hyundai distinguish itself as a brand that focuses on innovation and freshness in its products. In 2008, Hyundai introduced the Santro Xing, which cemented the brand's position in the market. The car remained among the top-selling cars in India up to 2015. The newer versions are doing well in the Indian market.

It has been sold in South Korea:

The Santro is the most successful small car ever produced by the Hyundai Motor Company, and the company is planning to introduce it to India soon. In India, the Santro sold over a million units in less than seven years. Its popularity in the country has led Hyundai to invest USD 100 million in the development of the car. The Santro is Hyundai's best-selling vehicle in South Korea.

It is being replaced by a new model:

The popular Santro is being replaced by - you guessed it - a new model. In 2015, Hyundai Motor India decided to halt production of the Santro. They also stopped production of other low-volume models like the i10, Xcent Prime, and Aura. These are all expected to go the same way - with periodic price hikes. Ultimately, this will push most small cars out of the reach of the average lower middle-class buyer.
