After a brief pause in production, Hyundai is all set to relaunch one of India’s most iconic hatchbacks — the Hyundai Santro in an all-new avatar for 2025. Designed for first-time buyers and budget-conscious families, the upcoming Hyundai Santro 2025 will feature a refreshed design, improved features, and class-leading fuel efficiency. With a price expected to start under ₹5 lakh, this comeback could shake up the entry-level car market once again.
Refreshed Design with Youth Appeal
The 2025 Santro will sport a more dynamic exterior design featuring a sportier grille, swept-back halogen headlamps, LED DRLs, a wider bumper, and redesigned tail-lamps. The tall-boy stance remains intact, offering excellent headroom, while new alloy wheels and dual-tone body color options are expected to enhance its urban appeal. It’s small in size but big in personality perfect for city driving.
Fuel-Efficient Petrol & CNG Engine Options
Hyundai will likely equip the new Santro with a BS6 Phase 2–compliant 1.1L 4-cylinder petrol engine producing around 69 PS power and 99 Nm torque. It will be mated to a 5-speed manual and an optional AMT gearbox. The CNG variant is also expected with a mileage of up to 25 km/kg, making it one of the most fuel-efficient hatchbacks in India. Petrol mileage is likely to touch 21–22 kmpl in real-world conditions.
Smart Features on a Budget
Despite its entry-level price, the Santro 2025 will offer practical features such as:
- 7-inch touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Rear parking camera and sensors
- Manual AC with rear AC vents
- Power windows and electrically adjustable ORVMs
- Central locking, dual airbags, and ABS with EBD
Hyundai’s well-known fit and finish, along with its SmartSense package in higher variants, may offer basic connected car features too.
Spacious Cabin with Tall-Boy Practicality
The Santro will continue its legacy of being a spacious hatchback in a compact form. The tall-boy design offers great visibility, headroom, and leg space for both front and rear passengers. The boot capacity is expected to be around 235–250 liters — enough for weekend luggage or daily grocery runs.
Expected Launch & Price in India
Hyundai is expected to officially unveil the Santro 2025 in the last quarter of the year, with deliveries starting early 2026. The base variant could start from ₹4.89 lakh, while the top-end CNG AMT version may go up to ₹6.29 lakh (ex-showroom). This will put it in direct competition with the Maruti Alto K10, Tata Tiago, and Renault Kwid.
Conclusion: The Hyundai Santro 2025 promises to blend iconic charm with modern upgrades. With stylish design, reliable performance, excellent mileage, and a budget-friendly price it’s an ideal choice for city drivers and first-time car buyers looking for peace of mind and practicality.
