Needs to check how they have provided for the spare wheel. Anyways, Santro boot is far bigger and if smartly designed, hope that the wheel is not let loose as in the case of Wagon R. Soon we will have a news on Times of India / Economic Times that Spark LPG is launched. Then, it will be interesting to see the reviews in this small hatchs LPG category. Hope carwale provides the initial test drive experience of the Santro LPG vis-a-vis WagonR

Good move from Santro i shud say , at least the WagonR duo now has a competitor!

Sri

can anyone tell me the performance of Santro Lpg (pickup,mileage,performance etc.... compared to petrol version)?

Great step by Hyndai india!...but they  are doin all ths to push up its sales by fitting LPG in it!..its sales have now become slow due to bigger n better i10!!

hi every one, recently i booked santro LPG version GLS model vehicle. The car is excelent and when you run this car on LPG model the pick up and its performance is as similar as when you run a normal petrol santro on AC. its quite economical and as the LPG is an company fitted we should not be worried about its performance and further servicing i feel. Let us see how it goes in future.

This is will boost Santros sales. Santro as taxis might just increase in numbers.

I tried this and I had understeer, I tried that and I had oversteer, at the end of the corner I just ran out of talent!

me too like the decion of launching the lpg varioant of santro....but dont you thing its too late now...in my opinion they shud offer lpg varioant on 1.1 I-10 irde...this will give a true compition to wagan-r...santro itself is a old moel...! 

true man, i10 with lpg can give wagon-r a tough competition & will make a better buy too.

heard of any future plans...?
