Visually, the new Hyundai Santro (AH2 hatchback) will come in this bright orange shade with a pretty bold-looking face. Up front, the car features with a large black frame that stretches from edge-to-edge and houses the chrome-accented grille and tooth-shaped foglamps at either end. The car also comes with and well-sculpted front bumper with some bold lines and underbody cladding. The partially visible headlamps are large and swept back, but do not seem to get projector units, which is considerable given the segment. The Santro also gets body-coloured ORVMs, with integrated turn indicators.

The tailgate appears to be quite wide and large, offering easier access to the boot. While we do not get to see the profile of the car, based on the spy images and official sketch we have seen so far, it's possible that the new Santro will not come with alloy wheels.
