The Hyundai Santro was launched in India with a 1.0-litre engine. Over the years, the Santro was given several mechanical updates and it got a bigger 1.1-litre engine around the latter half of its career. This is the same 1.1-litre engine which was re-tuned to power the Hyundai i10 and even the Getz premium hatchback. However, for the new Hyundai Santro 2017, the manufacturer could use the eon's 1.0-litre motor. This would ensure that the new Santro gets a more modern and fuel efficient engine than the old Santro.
There are slim chances of the 2017 Santro getting a Diesel heart. However, one can safely expect a CNG-powered variant that could also attract the fleet operators. Transmission options, in most likelihood, will be restricted to a 5-speed Manual Gearbox. It may be noted that the Wagon R is available with an optional AMT. However, HMIL is yet to launch AMT on any of its cars and we feel that there’s still some time before HMIL brings Automated Manual Transmissions for its India lineup
