2020 Hyundai Santro Changes?

The 2020 Hyundai Santro will continue to use it’s 1.1-litre engine and will produce the same – 69bhp 99Nm of torque.

Apart from that, we have also understood that the car will get an automatic gearbox for all the variants on offer and not limit it to the Magna and Sportz trim lines. This is again Hyundai trying to impress buyers for the Santro. On the inside, we will see some tweaks too – a rear wash/wipe, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink compatibility, steering-mounted controls and power-adjustable wing mirrors. This will all be available on the Asta variant. So not much but a through effort by Hyundai to make the Santro more appealing.

On the design front, nothing will change. The car that came in 2018 will be the car we will see continued.

Hyundai might want to get an Active version of the car like the Maruti Celerio X or the Tiago NRG which is something that will again make it more diverse as a product.
