New Hyundai Santro diesel?

It seems that Hyundai doesn’t have any plans to get the diesel engine on the Santro. The company has a 1.1-litre diesel engine, but we aren’t certain if it will make it. The 1.1-litre U2 diesel engine is a three-cylinder engine churning about 70bhp of power. It can be a decent option to consider for those who are looking at performance and mileage.

  • Hello Sir,
    I wanted CNG car for daily office commute, traveling around 60 Km.
    I always wanted safety features, hence I had booked celerio vxi CNG optional. After waiting for 7 weeks as there was no commitment for delivery, I cancelled the order this week. Will there be front passenger airbad in Santro CNG sports. Should I go for this car?
    Suggestions please.
