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.

 

engine performance, looks and spacenothing

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.

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

 

Exterior Quite good. I bought the car in Nov 2006 and no polishing done eversince. Still the quality of paint and shine is equally good for any 2 year old car.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent for a small size car. Through plastic but pleasent. Very good leg space for front seats. I am 6 ft tall and drive this car very comfortably. A.C. is very powerful I must say.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I simply love its engine. I can rave about it day and night. One would ask why. So here it is. My car has done 95,000 Km since Nov 2006 and still giving me the fuel economy of 15 Km/L in city conditions. With an engine this old and run so much, the pick up (with AC on) is very good and touch max speed of 140 km/hr with 5 passengers and luggage. Gear box is very smooth, feather touch. You can actually change gear with just one finger. So smooth.

 

Ride Quality & Handling  Excellent. There is no terrain that i have not driven this car on. Mud & Mountains, Water logs, Rough roads, Villages, Hill stations, you name it and this car has proven its worth. Having driven at varied places, dont recall even a single incident where the car faced any sort of trouble. I have not spent anything other than scheduled servicing. Santro is truely amazing.

 

Final Words Excellent. Excellent and Simly Excellent.

 

Areas of improvement Only area I can suggest for improvement is Suspension. Its not that bad, but if I compare it with other Santro experiences, this falls short. Else this is a zoom car.

 

Engine, A.C., Front Seat Leg Space, Steering, Ground ClearanceSuspension

 

Exterior Given the limited design scope of a small hatchback.I feel Santro XO is pleasant to the eye.If properly serviced/maintained it still retains the new car shine.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are comfortable for 4 adults and a child in the back.Long distance travelling on the highway is also comfortable.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good engine performance,fuel economy 10 - 12 kms/litre in city and 15 kms/litre on highway with a.c. I have never got anything more than this.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is decent though i have never driven on bad roads consistently.Not really pushed the car fast and hard around corners to test handling.

 

Final Words I have been driving this car since more than 4 yrs now ( 20,000) kms.Not much driving but enough to write a review. All in all , good city car for comfortable seating for 4 adults and 1 child. No cause for complaints. Preferably go for lighter shades if you want to retain the shine of new car for long.

 

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency can definitely improve with fuel prices increasing.

 

Good style,acceleration,reasonable fuel economyNothing

 

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

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.

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

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.

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
