SANTRO ecoLPG - Bifuel Marvel

Hi all,

It's been a long break i posted blogs and am very happy to see you all in the new mood. Hope! you might think why i am posting about Santro which was more than 10 years old and also there were news spreading that the Santro is soon going to be stopped.

Sorry! my heart refuses to believe that Hyundai will stop this record breaker in India (Hyundai - if you are planning to stop this car. Pls! Pls! throw away your thought) Since this car is the one which inspires not only the older but also the younger minds, due to its lowest maintenance cost and better mileage.

With all the existing features, the car is also fitted with LPG (older news though), I came to know this just a month back (too late!) when i was trying to find a better car for my friend.

On the day, when i saw the car it disturbed me and it was awe inspiring (truly better than i10).

These are all my uttering until i came to know about the all new 2011 Santro.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Hurrah!!!

oops! sorry! am sure that any santro fan will shout like this on hearing the news (irrespective of age).

Well what's going to be new in the 2011 Santro?

Well, it's an all new santro and hence it is also going to have it's all new outlooks. Hey! am not kidding! Hyundai has changed the looks completely.

The car will be more like a Jr. i10, but we'll surely miss the family car's homely look! as well as Gorgeous front face! However the revved up engine and the similar mileage will relax our hearts.

It seems the new car would carry same 1.1 Litre engine with peak output power of 65bhp @5500rpm (previously 63bhp@5500rpm) and max. torque of 105nm@3500rpm (97.8nm@ 3000rpm) and new improved speed of (145Kmph).

Boss! this is not just a decent figure. It's awesome from a 1.1L petrol engine. considering its rivalry Maruti Zen Estilo provides output power of 65bhp@5200rpm(awesome!) but poor torque of 84nm@3500rpm(v.poor!), which makes it fuel efficiency bit lesser than the Santro but not in the speed (150Kmph).

Even its elder sibling i10 having 1.2L engine provides peak output power of 80bhp@5200rpm and torque of 114nm@4000rpm.

Also there is no big change in the price just 15K-20K higher. Obviously at reasonable price again).

Let's welcome the new car! However don't miss the old one's if you are planning to buy the current santro you'll be the luckiest. So don't go for second thought else you'll miss the best santro ever, since a not sure 100% about the new car that is yet to be launched.

Cheers!!!
