The Hyundai Santro is a rebadged version of the city car Hyundai Atos sold in some Asian markets.
Hyundai entered the Indian market through the Santro whose main rival at that time was the popular Maruti Suzuki Zen. The company got actor Shah Rukh Khan to endorse the Santro and although the radcial styling was not accepted by everyone, the car was an instant hit.
Since then the company has constantly come out with design revisions to keep the Santro fresh.
The Santro was launched in Pakistan in 2000. Having struggled a tough stance and low customer interest initially, the new Santro Club and Santro Exec created an impact in the market, which exists to date.
