This car is available at 4.00 to 5.50 lakhs.this is very good car.this car is for common people.


I very like this car so much. I have not this car.


Eight hundred and twenty five.


That's exactly was the amount of runs that were scored today in India versus Sri Lanka match.


The tri coloured side contributed four hundred and fourteen.


And another, the one with lion's share, so close, that it lost the game.


Four hundred and eleven to be precise.


Or, in other words, just 3 runs short. But this small amount of numbers game can make huge differences in one's destiny and career, and most importantly, it forms a part of the game.


It is often said that good things come in small packages. And what better fact to justify that more than 70 percent of India's car buying public buys small cars.


Easy on the wallet, easy to park, drive, maintain and at the same time sufficiently powerful and efficient to cater to your daily city driving with occasional highway runs for an average family of 3, or at most 4 people, mainly Mia Biwi and their bachcha party.


Hyundai in 1998 understood that small doesn't necessarily have to be small. Just like Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee made an astonishing addition to Mr. Lal Bahadur Shastri's statement "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan", by adding "Jai Vigyan" to it, it signaled our country's modernity and adoption to modern technology, beliefs and values while keeping our core ones intact.


Similarly, Hyundai also believed that the small car market can also be of a tall order to crack, so it told itself that good things often come in small as well as TALL packages, and this led to the creation of santro for our market.


Thoroughly modern, it was our country's tallest affordable car hat time and when launched, people went berserk over its gawky hideous shape, but under that quirky shape, there lied a thoroughly modern engineering marvel, with tech like first in class(for 1998) MPFi, electronic ignition, multi valve epsilon engine, tall shape for easy entry and exit, wide 13" tyres, many convenience and safety features etc, all at a value price.


Adding Mr. Shahrukh Khan as its brand ambassador only proved to be icing in the cake and the Santro is considered to be one of the biggest success stories of all time in the Indian small car market, a fact that it still sells in thousands every month, and approximately more than 15 lakh santros have rolled out both for domestic as well as export consumption out of Hyundai's plant in Sriperumbadur.


Now while the car got evolved and got constant upgrades over the years, its core DNA of an all round VFM city car still remains intact.


The turning point and a major factor that contributed to its success came in May 2003 when the car got transformed from Santro to Santro Xing with a dramatic face lift and improvements in both exteriors and interiors based on customer feedback. the 1.1 epsilon engine was unchanged but the car got heavier, thus blunting its highway performance especially in comparison to its arch rival, the Wagon R.


Competition has evolved and so has the car. Many cars came and gone but the Santro still remains one of the top 10 selling cars in India. Its successor, the I 10 meanwhile is doing staggering numbers and it became India's second best selling car in November 2009, the fact remains that the Santro Xing, now positioned as an entry level hatch with periodic price cuts and discounts, continues to sell on an average of 6, 000-7, 500 units per month, a respectful number given the car's 11th year of production.
