Rumour: Hyundai Santro (AH2) launch on October 23, 2018

According to a media report, Hyundai is likely to launch its new small car (codenamed: AH2) on October 23, 2018, while a private unveiling will reportedly take place on October 9.

Hyundai's new small car is expected to replace the Eon and could be called the Santro. A design sketch and several spy shots of the car suggest that the next-gen Santro would feature a tall-boy design, much like its predecessor. It is likely to get a large cascade grille flanked by sweptback headlamps and dual-tone bumpers. Spy images of the interior suggest that the car could get amber backlit switchgear and a 3-spoke steering wheel.

While Hyundai has not revealed any technical details of the new car, reports suggest that it might be powered by the same 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine as the Eon. Transmission options might include a manual and an automated manual transmission (AMT).
