UPDATE: New Hyundai Santro revealed ahead of Oct 23 launch

The all-new Hyundai Santro is all set to get its global reveal tomorrow, prior to the model’s full-scale launch on October 23. Interestingly, bookings open on October 10, albeit through a dedicated online portal only. Dealership bookings will only commence later with the car’s launch.

The booking portal will allow buyers to book their car with an online payment of Rs 11,000. Subsequently, the assigned Hyundai dealer will call the respective customer and take him/her through the booking and delivery process. Deliveries are learned to begin on October 23 itself which implies the first lot of cars would be for buyers who’ve made their bookings online.

The new Santro is expected to start with a price under Rs 4 lakh, will come with the option of an AMT automatic and will be richly equipped with features such as a touchscreen. The model will take on the Maruti Suzuki Celerio and the Tata Tiago.
