Exterior

Exterior is dated but  car looks great with the new grills 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 front seats are spacious . Good boot space  and  legroom  for the rear seat is felt inadequate.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

1086 CC hyundai engine is a gem.  Its very powerful. The car has very nice pickup. Shifting of gear is very smooth. I have driven only 1500 kms since purchase on 13 Jun 14. It is returning 14 kmpl in city with all time ac on. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Driving santro in city traffic is very easy. 

Final Words

I have purchased santro from haryana in last month. I m writing this review after 1500 kms. The car is excellent in this price range. I love my first car . My Santro  

Areas of improvement  

Door opening handles should be of body colour and new like celerio and swift. Instrument panel should also be modified with certain essential things like rpm gauge, distance to empty and average fuel consumption.

Hello friends I opted new santro xing gls petrol version in Feb,2010. Till date i drove it for 10500 Kms. It was an excellent performance till date. I have opted this beauty from Sanjay Hyundai, Wakdewadi, Pune. As far as the brand is concerned i love hyundai. But during early days I had ridiculous experience from (dunno) sanjay hyundai or hyundai as far as its AC performance was concerned. I was told by one of the senior person from sanjay hyundai that some of the AC parameters were not been set so that i was not getting the required cooling. I wonder how it can happen ???? Is it a manufacturing default or what ??? How the car can pass its QC tests without such results. I don't know if it was the genuine feedback or what ? But it was not expected from the most trusted brand like hyundai. But afterwards it didn't faced any probs with AC cooling effect. But still car is giving much low economy with AC. Without AC it rocks (economy & power). Overall SANTRO is an EXCELLENT CAR. Service of M/S Sanjay Automobile is again THE RIDICULOUS. No one can bit sanjay hyundai for their ridiculous services. They have to improve.  

 

Excellent fuel economy, powerful driveAC is bit monotonous. Ridiculous economy with AC

Exterior: I like the Exterior still it satnds the best in class after  so many models come from diffrent makers.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Not beiging but materials used are good & durable , i am using for 4 years still it looks good and brand new interiores. Important thing is roof moulding in good rubber  material ( not cloth material ) so that dirt will not satnd back in same.Back seat gives enough sapce for 3 people and comfortable ,but humby in long drive.Over all i like the vechile in this price and i sugest to buy, even now santro xing having good resail value also.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Tremendouse performance , good pick up when compares to Wagon -R , i used wagon -R its gear i am not seen any diffrent with Maruthi -800 poor one . But santro gear throw , shifting everything is easy in long drive & city drive mainly.

Ride Quality & Handling: The best i its class , Even no tiredness on long drive when compare with wagon -R.Safty also the best thanks Hunday for perfect braking without new options like ABS & EBD.

Final Words: Over all i suggest this vechile with my experiance , strong body ,. enough weight for vechile

Areas of improvement: As mentioned i totaly disagree with makers on what they done with accel  pedal placing which giving me discomfort in my rigt leg ankle . I noted it after 2 years that where it coming pain in my ankle . I need this should be changed without any cost to support this valuable  vechile.

Best in seating , driving comfortpedel position makes pain in right foot

Exterior Good looking.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The leg room space is to small where if we adjust it the rear seat will not be having any space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great engine, the pick up is nice.

Ride Quality & Handling Excelent.

Final Words Value for money but for heavy persons the interior space will matters where the music system centeral panel board lenght will hit your knees and when you move to the top gear the engine perfomence is satisfied.no need to change the gears frequently where in the third gear also it will take instent pick up .breaks are good ,stearing will be handy no need of second thought (as for my concern )to invest 4.5 lacks (aprox) in this segment.the ground clearence is awesome no worry's about the speed breakers even the car is fully loaded . the height of car is good no need to bend down your keens while step in to the car.

Areas of improvement The centeral panel board lenght must be reduced.

Good pick up ,easy to drive in busy roads tooThe leg room is poor

Exterior looks lovely in silver asi have one, nice toned design n looks slim from outside. Body colored bumpers looks great n metallic colors looks good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Leg and head space room is suitale for people of every ages,  stylish high quality plastics are used, air conditioning is good, seats are far more comfortable, leg and head space is differentating feature of santro xing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pick is good santro is nice n stable baby, gives 15km/l is satisfactory though, gear shift is smooth n easy.

Ride Quality & Handling Best in class, brakes are real good have escaped many accidents in my precious life n dat too with friends and family. love my car!

Final Words I AM IN LOVE with my SANTRO since YEARS so cant ask for more, good infact great work from hyundai for indian market at this price.

Areas of improvement A bit on milege but truly its a far more improved vehicle.

Looks, space, pick up and above all is maintenance.Can say milege....but never mind

My car is 10 year old but still runs like anything! I drive it with my family from Delhi to Himachal twice in a year and use it for a distance of 60 KM almost every day still haven't got any major issue except a small dent from an idiot and rear suspension replacement. Its driving experience is amazing. 1100 CC and very powerful. Gear changes with no tension or obstruction. There is an issue related to the body. When car is standing in heavy rain, it collects some water inside its bonut which come out through the passage of electricals inside. Although its buit quality is superb. It gives a mileage of about 16 kmpl. Which is quiet satisfactory for this class of car which was manufactured in 2009. Resale value is high too. Mechanincs and authorised sevice employees have suggested me a numbet of times to not to sell it as it is the most strongest car of the earlier times and even now! I have heard people complaing about the paint of their cars like baleno, swift and even the ciaz which gets pierced immediately after even a small scartch. Santro has proved the best on these basis. The thing that i want to suggest is provide a better dashboard and stuff which is cent percent plastic. Otherwise, this car is the best of all. With hyundai, you can make your experience at your peak. Now i am willing to purchase the new creta 2020.

Hi

It has just been 2 and half months with this car and it is showing me expected milage and I am already impressed with it's looks and performance. As per the revews taken by friends and relatives, this car does not give good milage but has very good pickup and gives plasure while driving.

I used to have zen and I was thinking to buy Estilo or wagon R but since by performance every thing is almost same but the looks can not be compared so I decided to buy this one. Estilo's looks can be compared with it but the space is too less but Estilo has better interior and Wagon R also has less space than Santro.

Vishal

Looks, comfort,AC Ducts can not be closed completely, No leather wrapped stearing wheel

Right car for a small family in terms of style,comfort,safety and above all durable.Extremely durable parts like the rubber bushings,suspension etc.Talked to other santro owners and they also opine the same.This car is really valued for money whateverMore comfortable compared with its competitersLess spacious

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

i bought santro gls lpg in march 2012..sales people said it will give 12km/lit in lpg mode . horrible experience driving.sometimes you get lpg smell in cabin.it gives 5/6km per lit costs 8rs/km..

Ride Quality & Handling the  engine stops sometimes in lpg mode while running and never starts ,,it starts only in petrol

 

Final Words  if u are planning to buy this car think and make sure u have loads of money to burn

and have lot of patience with the service people..because in 3 months my car has been serviced

3 times and still the problem is not solved and they say it gives only 6km/lit..why do theese people have such frankness before sale.....why would a company like hyundai make such a useless car and cheat people.. if we do such thing to anyone we will be behind bars in 420 case

why not they..because they are so big...and have licence to play with our hard earned money and our time 

 

Areas of improvement  u cant improve a piece of scrap
