Hyundai has unveiled the first-ever sketch of its upcoming small hatchback codenamed the AH2. Although it is likely to be called the 바카라˜Santro바카라™ followed by a suffix, Hyundai will run a naming contest starting from today i.e. 16 August, 2018 and the final name will be revealed closer to its launch in October.

One of the reasons behind the original Santro바카라™s popularity was its tallboy design and its spiritual successor, the AH2, will follow suit. A tallboy design makes getting in and out of the cabin much easier when compared to a relatively low-set vehicle. Despite being a tallboy hatchback, the AH2 will have a sloping roofline as indicated by the car바카라™s silhouette in the sketch.

The sketch also shows a noticeable kink on the window line apart from prominent wheel arches. The AH2 will be the first product to be sold under Hyundai바카라™s latest 바카라˜Modern Premium바카라™ philosophy which aims to offer a premium experience and enhanced value to customers.

The new Hyundai hatchback will be available with a petrol engine coupled to a 5-speed manual as standard. The carmaker will also offer variants equipped with an indigenously-developed AMT (automated-manual transmission) based on its 5-speed manual. Expect the hatchback to have a certified fuel efficiency figure of 20kmpl or more. The AH2 will go up against hatchbacks like the Tata Tiago, Maruti Suzuki Celerio and the upcoming next-gen Maruti WagonR. It바카라™s expected to be priced from Rs 3.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
