Hyundai’s New AH2 Hatchback Finally Gets the Name “Santro”?

Earlier, the Naamakaran campaign was launched by Hyundai to vote for the favourite name of the forthcoming hatchback, which will be launched in October 23, 2018. 30% of the voters have chosen the name “Santro” for the New AH2 Hatchback.  The campaign will end on September 15, 2018. The official name will be announced on the same day as the revelation of the car on October 9.

It has been informed by the Senior General Manager and Group Head, Marketing, Hyundai India, Puneet Anand that 1.5 lakh replies have been received. The number is expected by Hyundai to rise to five lakh by the end of the campaign.

The Hyundai Santro, which was released into the Indian market in 1999, soon became a household name with the Indian. The striking tall-boy design of the old Santro will be preserved in the new AH2 hatchback. These may be the reason why a majority of the participants have decided to choose the name “Santro”. Some outstanding characteristics will also be added to the AH2 hatchback to increase its competitiveness in the hatchback segment.
