| Hyundai Santro Exports Cross 5 Lakh Milestone Posted: 16 Feb 2011 04:52 AM PST
Hyundai has been an amazing competitor in the small car segment and it all started with the introduction of the iconic Hyundai Santro which simply raised the bars for other manufacturer who were existing or planning to jump into the hatchback segment. There was a time when the metropolitans had only Santros running all across them and it was a time that no one could ever forget. The job of redefining the meaning of an affordable small car was done by Hyundai Santro which was later reframed when Hyundai i10 became the flagship model recently. In fact the car's charm is still prevailing in many of the cities but the changing tastes of Indian buyer forced the company to bring in other models like the i10 and Hyundai i20. But as we all know the story doesn't end here since most of the top selling car models are exported to other markets by their respective companies and Hyundai was doing exactly the same.
After exporting the complete made in India Santro to 80 countries for over 10 years, the company has finally surpassed 5 Lakh unit milestone which is something to be extremely proud of. On this very proud moment this is what Hyundai India's MD and CEO H W Park said, "The export of the Santro has reached five lakh units. From the time of its launch, this popular car has been widely appreciated for its design, technology and safety. In a little over a decade since Hyundai has been present in India it has become the leading exporter of passenger cars with a market share of 57 per cent of the total exports of passenger cars from India," We wish the company a very successful year ahead and expect to hear more such prideful news.

BMW X6 is one mean machine which incorporates the design cues of a sedan and an SUV resulting in a beautiful product which is considerably looked upon by potential buyers who demand unmatched power along with appreciable road presence. The car inspite of its good design and quality failed to taste success prominently because of its low mileage and expensive pricing. Though it is immensely attractive at its presence as well as performance yet it lacked the practicality of a good car.
For as long as 2 years after BMW officially introduced this car, it was being sold mainly as a 4-seater but as we mentioned above the practicality was not there and the company probably gave it a thought and understood the need of one more accommodation.
Yes you have calculated it right, the number of seats ha been increased by unity and now the car will be sold as a 5-seater SUV but only in USA and is expected to be seen in the Indian market soon. All the models in the US will feature an additional seat except top of the line Active Hybrid variant.
We guess that increasing the seat count wouldn’t affect the buyer's mind much since if one is going to spend nearly a crore on a vehicle he/she would hardly consider any such issue big enough and now that BMW has done it, it is definitely appreciated BMW X6 SUV Specifications In India
