2018 Hyundai Santro: Colour Options On Offer

Hyundai is all set to bring in the Santro to India on October 23, 2018. The Santro badge makes a comeback into the Indian market and /right at the time when the company celebrates the 20th anniversary of the car in India. There are a lot of expectations from the car and the company gave us a sneak peek into what the car will look like. From what we could see, the Santro continues to get the tall boy design and that's good. However, there are now a host of new colours on offer. The company already announced that there will be a total of 7 colours on offer namely - Typhoon Silver, Polar White, Stardust (dark grey), Imperial Beige (as seen in the pictures), Marina Blue, Fiery Red, and that Diana Green.

The Asta variant of the 'Diana Green' Hyundai Santro will have matching green bits around the dashboard and AC vents. The same outlined treatment will also continue around the gear shifter console. What we especially like though is the little attention to detail that includes green accents on the infotainment control knobs and the round side AC vents at both ends of the dash. It also comes with cool matching green seatbelts The green Hyundai Santro package will only be available on the manual Asta variant, which will also have dual airbags as standard along with ABS and EBD.

Visually, the overall silhouette of the car, especially from the sides, does give us a brief reminder of the older Santro, but it's very clear that the design and styling are all new. In fact, the car has been designed in line with the company's latest design language, featuring the large grille with the cascading pattering, large sweptback headlamps, and sculpted front bumper. The car also gets a pair of sharp tooth-shaped foglamps, which are positioned much higher, closer to the grille.
