Spy shots of the new Hyundai Santro (Hyundai AH2)
continue to pour in as the hatchback continues to undergo real-world testing
ahead of its launch in August this year. PowerDrift’s official Facebook page
has shared a fresh set of images.
This particular test mule was spotted on its way up
to Doddabetta mountain, which is the highest point in Tamil Nadu.
The location seems to be the same as that of 2018 Hyundai Creta’s recent spy
shots. Cutouts in the heavy camouflage reveal the positions of the headlamps,
turn indicators, and fog lamps. The outline of the ‘cascading’ grille is also
partially visible through the masking.
The upcoming Hyundai hatchback will utilise a
modified version of the i10’s platform. In fact, the overall profile of the car
bears a passing resemblance to the i10. As revealed by images published
earlier, it has seats with fixed headrests that seem quite similar to the i10’s.
The new Hyundai Santro (Hyundai AH2) will be
positioned below the Grand i10. It will come in petrol manual and petrol
automatic (AMT) variants to rival the Tata Tiago, Maruti Wagon R, and Maruti
Celerio. Prices could start at around the INR 3.5 lakh mark for the base petrol
manual trim.
