Better Safety

The Hyundai Santro tested by Global NCAP in 2019 only scored 2-star safety rating. To keep up with the industry standards, Hyundai may improve the safety of the car. Dual airbags, ISOFIX and other standard safety features can be expected from the base variant itself. The Tata Tiago which costs a little more, comes with 4-star GNCAP rating.

New Interiors

The Hyundai Santro already comes with modern interiors but the facelift will certainly add better new features. Wireless Android Auto and Apple Car play can be expected in the facelift. Better seat upholstery in the higher-spec variants is also a probability. Hyundai may also provide the Santro with connected car tech, making it segment-first and the cheapest of the lot.  Engine Push Start/Stop button feature will also be a useful inclusion.
