Update :- Hyundai unveils new Hyundai Pa I10
Hyundai Motor India Ltd will launch its compact car i10, code named Pa, in the country on November 1.
The car will be available in 10 colours. It will have a sun roof, the first for a compact car. The i10 is expected to be priced between Rs 3.7 lakh and Rs 3.9 lakh.
India is set to be the global manufacturing hub for the compact car. The Korean auto firm plans to more than double its export volumes from India in the next two years. Hyundai aims to export one lakh units this fiscal and expects to increase this to 2.5 lakh units in the next two years. Hyundai cars comprise about 70 per cent of India’s auto exports.Apart from the Santro, plans are afoot to bring models such as the Getz and the Accent under the export fold as the manufacturing capacity increases. The company’s new plant in Chennai with a capacity of three lakh units is expected to go on stream by October this year. This will take Hyundai’s total capacity to six lakh units. It is also being speculated that a Santro variant may be in the offing. The company had launched the Santro Xing in 2003. Company officials said it had already slashed prices of the Santro. However, industry sources said a variant with fewer features and a price cut of Rs 70,000 or above might be on the cards. Hyundai sells around 18,000 units per month with Santro accounting for 13,000 to 14,000 units.

"Like the compact car 'Pa', which will be launched shortly, we are also developing another model in the D-segment for the Indian market, Besides, we are also working on LPG Santro for launch next year." Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) Managing Director and CEO HS Lheem said.
He said the proposed D-segment car, expected to hit the market in a "couple of years", would be a global model developed and produced in India.
The car is expected to be pitched against the likes of Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla and the segment will witness stiff competition with Maruti Suzuki also planning a product in the same category by 2009.

gud update and nice work on your blog...found it to be very informative.......
hey great blog dude..........keep up the good work......
Thanks friends
dude is there any chance of a diesel option with this car..........
Hyundai will be making India its export hub for PA so we can expect the Diesel version around next year, but not any time soon.
Dear Parikh Bhai
I am rishabh from bhilai. Kindly suggest whether to by santro or wait for i10. Will santro be offlined.
@rishabh
Santro is a good car, Hyundai is currently offering a discount of 40k on it, so that might be a good reason for buying it.
On the other hand its an aging car and due replacement, it very much possible that santro might be phased out. But considering that the i10 will be positioned between Santro and getz so it might continue for a while.
But i would recommend wait for i10 and go for the latest technology.
Its gonna be a global car and would be manufactured and launched first in India.
any idea on the mileage dude? hope its 13-14! thanks
it would Surely offer that much
latest update on santro and i10
1 - santro GLS is launched (comparable to XL model). Pricing is 4 lakhs. XO which had all the top of the line features has been discontinued (so as not to canibalise sales of i10)
2 - i10 is pricey (one can go in for getz prime instead !)
3 - i10 is cramp. santro feels more spacious.
4 - santro still is a fine car, tried and tested car.
All da best. Happy driving.
so santro or i10? stil confused
@ nitin
Go for the i10 if you don't have tight budget and shell out the extra bucks.
Diesel i10 is also in the pipelines.
