Hyundai Santro: 25 Years of Trust and Legacy in Nepal

Mon, Feb 9, 2026 4:46 PM on Latest, Corporate,

The Hyundai Santro made its debut in Nepal in 1999 at a time when Japanese brands dominated the small-car market and Indian-made cars were still gaining trust. Nepal became the first export destination for the Hyundai Santro, marking a proud milestone for both the country and the brand.

With its practicality, comfort, reliability, and suitability for Nepali roads and families, Santro reshaped perceptions of hatchback cars and laid the foundation for Hyundai’s success in Nepal. As Hyundai celebrates 25 years of Santro in Nepal, the company honors the legacy of trust it built and invites owners of 2000 model-year Santro cars to connect with Hyundai Nepal for a special surprise.
