The Hyundai Santro never had a diesel engine in India. It was one of the best selling cars and Hyundai was planning for a diesel model. The time went very fast and the concentration of masses changed to the i-series including the Eon and Santro was discontinued from the Indian market. The petrol Santro was powered by a 1.1 L engine producing 63 BHP @ 5500 rpm and 91 NM @ 4000 rpm. The motor was 4 cylinder and was mated to a 5-speed gearbox. It returned a mileage of 14 kmpl. The diesel engine being expected was the 1100 cc CRDi with 72 BHP and 150 NM of torque. It would have been the most affordable and impressive diesel vehicle of its time.
