Santro, the small car that was Korean auto giant Hyundai's first offering in India, is set to exit by year-end.
Along with the iconic Maruti 800, the Santro--launched as the `sunshine car' by Shah Rukh Khan in the late nineties--was bought by lakhs of Indians. Sources in the dealer network and suppliers said Santro will be moving out of the market very soon as Hyundai focuses on newer models like Eon and i10, which have become the company's backbone. Hyundai will continue to provide sales and service support to the model.
