Amica

It's still a while away, but this is the next big (small) thing from Hyundai. Essentially the replacement for the Santro (which is called the Atos or Amica in Europe and elsewhere) for the international market, this new Hyundai is as good as all-new.

The powertrain – albeit extensively modified – is the only bit being carried over from the current car. To be unveiled officially at the Frankfurt motor show this September, Hyundai's new small car is expected to be called the Amica in certain markets and the Atos in others, and we expect one of these two monikers to feature in India too.

Though exact specs are not available as yet, the new Hyundai will slot in between the Santro – which will carry on being sold in facelifted form – and the (facelifted) Getz in the Indian market. Bigger than the Santro, the Atos/Amica is expected to be a little over 3.6 metres long and almost 1.6 metres wide. Most of that increased length will go between the wheels, with wheelbase increasing to over 2.4 metres. And that obviously will translate to a much bigger interior with improved legroom. In fact, cabin space will be closer to that of the Getz. Boot volume, at best, will be marginally more than the 218 litres of the Santro though.
