My Sunshine Car !

It's all you've ever wanted in a small car. The pleasantly curved Atos Prime is one of the cutest cars on the road. Santro Xing is the small car King.

Hyundai Santro Vs Maruti wagonR

Maruti has a bigger service network and the cost of spares it cheaper.

Both cars are tall boy model and have high seating. This add to driving/seating comfort and makes it easy for people to get in and get out.

Here is the comparison.

Santro Pros:

• Better Looks (as compared to Wagon-R).
• More comfortable to Drive.
• Better Service.
• Better Pickup.
• Provision for 4 speakers, Wagon-R has provision for only 2.
• Perceived to be more expensive.
• Air conditioning more effective hence cooling is better.
• Ability to adjust the side view mirrors from inside.
• Seat belts for 5 passengers, Wagon-R has only 4. Santro is also approved for 5 people and Wagon-R has got approval for only 4 passengers. Not that anyone ever checks but still.

Wagon-R Pros:

• Better resale value.
• Cheaper cost of spares.
• Bigger service network than Hyundai.
• Slightly more fuel efficient. Although now Santro has new eRLX engine which is suppose to have improved mileage.
• Better Engine and electronic power steering.
• Cheaper.
• Option for Airbags (only available in the top of the line model).
• Slightly more leg space and better comfort for tall people.
• The seats can be dropped completed to create a bed or even a double bed. Useful while traveling and someone can sleep.

I also suggest that irrespective of which car you decide to buy, don’t compromise on safety. Pay that extra for ABS and Airbags (only in Wagon-R).

More to come .. Thanks Prakash :)
