Hyndai Santro

Comfortable, refined, user-freindly hatch, which workds beautifully in the city.

Arguably, the best ‘real’ small car in India, today, capable of everything you’d expect a car this size to do. It’s nippy, practical and has room for five. The current iteration of the engine –eRLX – comes in only one a 1.1-litre size. It is a four-cylinder unit unlike the first-gen Santro’s, is redefined and torquey but does not run out of the breath quicker than you’d want to. Automatic option, is costly, but worth for urban use. The car is incredibly easy to drive and agile in traffic, with light controls. Ride quality isn’t great, especially at the rear, nor is highway stability.

Surprising space from tall-boy design, but it’s nest to stick to four. Easy to get in and out, and the seats are pretty comfy too. Eastern-tinny built, and the sheetmetal dings like tissue paper, but reliability is high, and it’s screwed down pretty well. It has high cabin quality for the price. Equipment list ranges from barebones base model to loaded top. ABS and auto box is optional. Nevertheless, it’s reliable, with cheap and efficient service, which corresponds to hassle-free owning. It’s pretty good value for money.
