The Hyundai Santro has been around for quite a few years now and has been doing great all these years. The tall boy design was unconventional and hard too digest but was truly a practical car and did wonders in the small car segment. First the santro, santro zip and then lately the santro xing.
But its time that Hyundai brought and upgrade to the car as Maruti discontinued its zen and brought in Estilo, the new Wagon R , Swift, Palio, indica, Alto, etc all are giving hard time to the good old santro.
So as the sales slow down Hyundai is planning to bring its new small car The "HYUNDAI PA (P-A)" i10. Hyundai Motor India V-P (marketing & sales) Arvind Saxena has been quoted by the media as saying that the company would launch their upcoming small car Pa in the Indian market first before its global launch.
He said: “India is now a global hub for small cars and no manufacturer can afford to ignore that. It’s a big competitive market for the best cars to compete. Our new premium compact car Pa will hit India two months earlier than Europe and other world markets.”
Following are some of the pictures of the expected Hyundai PA (P-A) hatchback.

The new model will be called Atos, Codenamed Pa, it has been tested by the company on the Chennai-Bangalore route. The company said the new car may be priced between Santro, which costs Rs 2.70-4.74 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi) and Getz (Rs 4.90-5.25 lakh) and will have a 1.2 litre engine and power of 64 bhp. The engine is completely new and high tech and all the interiors and exteriors would be new and fresh.
