I haven't seen this color of Santro before, I think it is Blue Onyx found on official santro site. I didn't find anything called Sparkle Blue, also found out that Passion Red no more features on this page. |
Sparkle Blue is still not listed on the site along with the other two new colours, so no one is aware. I saw some Plati alloy designs too, but for me, only the HiJoins appealed to my aesthetic sense. As I said, I got MRF ZVTS tyres from the showroom. I have no idea why there is a variance in the tyres fitted on Santros. All I know is, the original tyres looked as wide as my scooter's tyres , and I was determined not to keep them! Quote:

I am the first person to take delivery of a Sparkle Blue Santro from Advaith Hyundai, Residency Road, B'lore. Even the security guys at the showroom got confused, as they've never seen this colour Santro before! I did not like any of the available colours when I booked, so I went for Real Earth colour (something like that). While my booking was being processed, I told them I wanted to change to Onyx Blue. They told me Onyx Blue is phased out along with Passion Red, and one more colour (3 colours were phased out just before Diwali). The replacement for Onyx Blue was Sparkle Blue, and for Passion Red, replacement is Berry Red. I saw the shade plate for Sparkle Blue, and asked them to check if its in stock. The godown had just received this colour, and they blocked one for me. When I saw the car, I couldn't believe how cool it looked! Awesome colour...couple of people asked me if I got the car repainted, as they've never seen this colour on a Santro! |
