Hyundai Santro price now starts at Rs 4.15 lakh with introduction of new base variant Era Exe

Hyundai has introduced a new entry-level variant for the Santro in India called the Era Exe at a price of Rs 4,14,990 (ex-showroom), which means the base price of the Santro has been bumped up by about Rs 25,000. Era Exe trim slots between the now-discontinued D-Lite and Era variants which retailed at Rs 3.9 lakh and Rs 4.25 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively. The mid-spec and top-end variants remain unaffected by the price revision.

Hyundai Santro Era Executive variant will come with body-coloured bumpers, manual air-conditioning, power windows at the front – features that were earlier missing from the previous entry-level D-Lite variant. However, it does not get features like front power outlet and rear A/C vents as the Era variant did.

Hyundai Santro standard fitment includes driver-side airbag, ABS, EBD and power steering. However, it doesn’t get safety features like rear parking sensors, seat belt reminder and a speed alert system, which became mandatory on all new cars produced on July 1, 2019.

The feature list on the mid-spec variants of Hyundai Santro has been tweaked slightly. The CNG and petrol-manual versions of the Magna variant now come with 2-DIN audio system and multi-function steering wheel. Safety features in the top-spec Asta are also available in the Sportz AMT variants including a rear parking camera, passenger-side airbag and front seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters.
