Our favorite Hyundai Santro has said goodbye to our market, but continues to be in other forms of international circulation.
Hyundai Santro recently received a truck version in the South African market. Santro was an integral part of Hyundai’s first success in the Indian market. It was a great choice for the whole group of people looking for a very high quality product in the primary level segment. Santro was launched in India in 1998 and celebrated 23 glorious years last year. It’s a special feeling to see it in a commercial avatar in South Africa.

Truck version of Hyundai Santro
The South African market has a wide range of commercial products, including the commercial version of the Santro Cargo (also known as the Athos Cargo in SA), the Grand i10, the H1 Panel Van, the H1 RV, the H1 Ambulance and the H1 Hearse MPV. Santro’s design language is the same as the recently discontinued model in India. However, since there is a Cargo version, there are no rear seats and there are nets everywhere to keep the luggage safe in the cabin, there are many nets and hooks to secure all types of luggage. The total volume of cargo is 1210 liters. The lack of back seats opens up a lot of space.
