The original Hyundai Santro was synonymous with practicality, ease of use and efficiency. Does the new, second-gen car live up to the legendary name?

New car is wider and longer than the original Santro, and isn’t as upright in stance.
Well-finished cabin has a lot of feel-good elements. Black interior with green trim exclusive with Dana Green exterior paint.
Large windows and generous space make rear section feel airy.
