We have known for a while now that the Hyundai AH2 (new Hyundai Santro) will come with an AMT option. According to a new report from GaadiWaadi, Hyundai will call its AMT ‘Smart Auto’.
Hyundai has divulged no information about the Hyundai AH2 so far. Reports say that the first generation Hyundai i10 HA platform will underpin this model. The new low-cost hatchback will use an updated version of the original Hyundai Santro’s 55 bhp 1.0-litre Epsilon four-cylinder petrol engine. It will likely slot between the Hyundai Eon and the Hyundai Grand i10.
The next-gen Hyundai Santro is expected to be priced between Rs 3.5 to 5 lakhs (Ex-showroom). This puts in right in the price segment of Tata Tiago, Renault Kwid and Maruti’s upcoming next-generation Alto which is due for 2020.
Hyundai could unveil the new Santro to the media this month, ahead of global debut next month. The sales are expected to start by September 2018. More details will be revealed once the car is launched. The Hyundai AH2 is said to arrive by October this year. The original Hyundai Santro had a shocking starting price of INR 2,99,000.
