The '''Hyundai Santro''' is a [[city car]] produced by the South Korean manufacturer [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]] between 1998 and 2014. The nameplate was revived in 2018 to replace the [[Hyundai Eon|Eon]]. The "Santro" nameplate was applied during its first generation to the [[Hyundai Atos|Atos Prime]] model, while the second generation is a standalone model.<br />
<br />
Hyundai derived the name Santro for the Indian market from [[Saint-Tropez]], a [[France|French]] city famous for [[fashion]], because the company wanted to project it as a ‘fashionable’ car.<ref>{{Cite web|date=20 October 2018|title=New Hyundai Santro launch on October 23; six reasons why company feels it will be winner again|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/new-hyundai-santro-launch-on-october-23-six-reasons-why-company-feels-it-will-be-winner-again/1354826/|access-date=29 December 2019|website=The Financial Express|language=en-US}}</ref><br />
