The 2018 Santro will follow on the i10 platform, which is not a new concept. The engine will be 1086cc powered by almost 70bhp and torque 100Nm. Given that the engine is almost next to being a vintage car collection item, it will have to be altered to meet 22l/km.
As the reports add, the new Santro will be equipped with AMT and 5-speed gearbox and will have a lot of amazing features and specifications. The expected value of the 2018 Hyundai Santro is INR 3 lac (PKR 5.07 lac).
As far as the Pakistani market is concerned, Hyundai has teamed up with Nishat to make its comeback. It is highly possible for them to bring back the Santro in Pakistan after they explore the Indian auto market.
Mian Mansha on collaboration with Hyundai said, “The Korean car maker wants to first start the assembly of small cars that could compete with the existing assemblers already operating in this market. We are discussing with them… trying to convince them to also bring electric and hybrid cars. I see the future is in electric cars. We could import these cars in the beginning and later also start assembling them locally.”
