Facelifted Hyndai santro coming by year end!

Hyundai reiterated its stand to facelift its decade old but most successful small car santro. While Hyundai phased out the santro following the introducion of i10, but continue to sell the santro on account of good response. To further augment its sales, Hyundai will launch the facelifted santro before the end of 2009. However the changes will be limited to styling which means the same engine will power the santro. Since its launch in India in September 1998, Hyundai has sold 9,84,418 units in the domestic market. The price new santro might remain the same. :)

Yeah Santro needs a face lift soon. It looks very outdated. This face lift should refresh Santro's life.

Hyundai is also going Maruti way, They would never discontinue old models, just keep on launching new ones!
Personally, I feel Santro should have been replaced by i10.

That's the part of their success. This will gain customers confidence too. The fear of your lovely vehicles to be phased out is very less.

any pics?

thats good news but also this is common now in our market with older models getting facelifts and new models with same engine getting more expensice, waiting for few pics.

i agree with it, the same thing happened with the verna and innova,

Actually Not!
Thesedays people are having so much of money that they don't care if their car gets even dicontinued, Also carmakers(actually volumeplayers) like Maruti, Hyundai are playing very important role to increase the competition in carmakrket, They just keep launching new models and are making new segments, just take the example of Hyundai i10& Santro and Maruti Wagon R and Upcoming Ritz.
