Hyundai Santro Xing [2008-2015] User Reviews

When l drive in 100+ in highway, the steering wheel is wobble in 80 to 100 km/h and service cost is affordable. Interior is Spacious, the exterior is looking Outdated, boot space is enough. Overall, the 2008 Hyundai Santro is a good car for a small family.

i purchase Santro xing 2011.i drive almost 93000km.car is still giving new feel . I must say this is the best car for the middle-class community. i loved this car so much I personally feel owned.

 

Exterior The car has good looks and also hard shell. Headlamps and indicators are good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Resonably good space, the dash board is good, Good power windows, Power stearing has good responce. bottle/cup holders are bad and non standard size.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The mileage of the car is consistent. It has 14KM city(normal traffic) and 17-18KM long drive, Second gear shift is hard and is difficult in city driving conditions. The clutch becomes hard after 35000KM and had to change the clutch after 40000KM. I was told that most Santros have same problem.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good driving comfort in long drives. Back seat is not good, so the car is recommended for a very small family :).

 

Final Words Good first time car, change car after 5 to 6 years.

 

Areas of improvement The design of Shock absorbers should be looked at especially as it is real challenge for indian road conditions. Should improve the comfort for Back seat passengers.

 

Driving comfort, Mileage ok,Back seat bumpy, Clutch complaint after 40000KM,

I am riding santro from past 6 years and I have no issues with the car. Ride is smooth and mileage is 18-20km pr kg of CNG. Built quality is also very good, I met with many small accidents but no major dents on car.

Exterior

 Good looking car. stylish Bright lights. 4 parking lights gives clear brightness to rear side persons

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 It is small family car. comfortable for 4 members.  Good space at Boot. Back seat folding gives more space for couples want to take a journey.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 1.1L petrol engine give excellent performance in its class. good pick-up(if no AC). 

We can feel smooth drive and almost nil noise inside. Infact re-started even it was in on condition in my earlier days. Based on my suggestions most of my friends begine with santro(pur)..later moved to different brands.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Driving is comfortable even for long trips. I drove it for 43K KMs...still it is looks brand new.

Final Words

 I purchased in 2007 till now enjoying the drive. Made more than 15 long trips(300-500KM).

In general it is the best car in its class. More over best re-sale value.

Any new buyer can start with Santro.

Areas of improvement

Good Fuel econ..best in classWith AC -low power for 75% load & service costs.

In October, 2009, we planned to buy a car for home purpose and visited various showrooms nearby to check out the suitable car for us. And, after much research, we had finalised Hyundai Santro Xing GLS Petrol. With my car I have visited various places like from my hometown Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh) to Katra (J&K) with 4 + 1 and I had driven up to 140 speed on highway and it was purely smooth driving. The pick up is good and there is no body-roll in the car. We also aligned our car wheels after 4 years of ownership and changed them too to that of Michelin for better riding quality. The size of boot space is decent for 2-3 small bags to occupy. Interior and exterior were impressive and up to mark in that era. It is an original Korean silhouette styling. The rear spoiler puts icing on the cake and it comes standard in the car. The car is equipped with 1.1 L engine which produces maximum output of 1086 cc and the engine is quite good for a hatch. Even the 2018 Santro does equip with same 1.1 L engine. We got an average of 15-16 km/l on highway. I always use to do the service at Hyundai authorised service centre and overall service and maintenance were satisfactory. The service in Sanmati Hyundai Showroom in Muzaffarnagar is fast, quick and awesome. Only the main problem I face in reverse gear and once it comes in pits gear comes automatically in neutral mode. And, the biggest pron which I believe is Its performance on roads. I mean it tackles the road conditions very well for such a small hatch and the performance on roads is good and it also does get a quick but quite pace during overtakes. At last but not the least, I would like to say that it is value for money with all the bells and whistles you can expect in this price range.

 

Exterior As this car is an economy and small family car, I don't really bother much about the exterior and looks, but they're still good enough considering the price we pay. As for the version I have (Santro Zing XO), the looks are pretty decent and far better compared to the initial versions of Santro.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are not quite luxurious. Space is Very good for 4 people and with little adjustment even 5 people can be accommodated (ofcourse, consider the size of persons also :)). The A/C controls for the rear windows are placed in the centre between the two front seats instead of placing them on the interior of the doors. I don't understand the logic behind placing them there. Each time a person sits in the rear seat of the car, the person has to search for the A/C controls in vain until I tell them where they actually are.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is excellent. Fuel economy is very good. My car gives me 14-15 kmpl in city with A/C and on highways it gives more than 16 kmpl. Even after 50K+ kms of driving, my car still gives me the same mileage and this consistency in fuel economy is the thing I like the most about this car. Gearbox is fine. I haven't had any problems with that so far.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is good, though it can be a little bit bumpy for the people sitting in the rear seat. I have been to several long drives in this and the car is an excellent one for long drives as well. It's a veru sturdy vehicle.

Final Words According to me, this is the best car among all small cars with the price range in it's vicinity.

Areas of improvement Quality of shock absorbers, Interiors, more user-friendly placement of controls.

Fuel Economy, Sturdy Vehicle, Very good small family carSeating, Shock absorbers

Exterior It ish balanced in shape as per indian liking (Previoulsty Santro sahpe was having a janpenese lolk) and beautiful in exterior.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space inside is quite sufficeint in its segment, particulary its double fold rear seat which give a large room for any parcel to be carried. Only problem I found is the rear to fixed plastic netted space for speaksr which put some resistence in keeping big article inside like children byclyle when folded. Diving is very smooth and  enough leg space give comfornt to driver.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very fine. Very nice. I never felt any problemc in 8 yers of my driving. Pick up is still lke when I got  it new.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is very comfortable and enjoying.

Final Words Any one who is plannig to buy a car in this segment, I recommed him for Santro Xing. for small family.

Gool looks and high monted seatsMonted Speaker space in bood space makes hinderance to keep big article

 

Exterior I fell for the looks, its improved a lot .  Good Exteriors, headlamps, fog lamps, grill fills the beauty. Even though small in size dominating in the crowd.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are good, but leg space is bit short, dashboard design has to be improved.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Epsilon engine rocks. performance is up to the mark, makes it well in the city traffic with short curves and slow moving traffic. it a pleasure to ride on the highway easily peaks to 100 kmph and stable ride. Mileage is also pretty good.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is smooth and handling is good in busy traffic, short curves. Gear box is soft like flower and clutch, breaking has seen lot of improvments.

Final Words Good value for money, Great car with super looks, good engine.

Areas of improvement May be improve interiors, make it more spacious.
