Answers:

HELLO DEAR,
COMPARE TO MARUTI'S PRODUCT, HYUNDI'S MAINTENANCE PRODUCT IS ON UPSIDE.
I DON'T HAVE MORE IDEA ABOUT ESTILO, BUT IT'S DEPEND WHERE YOU ARE GOPING TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HOW MANY KILOMETERS DAILY.
BOTH ARE COMPACT AND LESS SPECIOUS INSIDE
I WOULD SUGGEST -GO FOR OTHER MODELS OF MARUTI LIKE WAGON-R
SUPERB CAR IN THAT SEGMENT

Answer by RAJESH 12 December 2009

Hi,
I would suggest Santro Xing for

>> Less Maintenance
>> Great Security
>> Most stable & reliable model

It may give slighly lesser mileage than Estilo . I am not saying Estilo wont' be good, but Santro now comes with great beige interiors as well which makes it more sexier than estilo looks.

Cheers
Krishna

HI Santro any day a better car, good handling, considerable pick up , dunno much about estillo, but if comparing a ZEN and SANTRO,...SANTRO ANY DAY.

Answer by Vikas 12 December 2009

No second thought....go ahead with santro...gr8 hatchback with enough comfort...good driving pleasure...reliable car. Estilo i dont even like. Santro is better than wagon r, estilo,and any other small car.

H,
Santro has the proven performance and a great success.The earlier version of Estilo was not so successfuland hence lower brand image but with New version the performance is better and so do mileage.In overall Santro has slight edge over Estilo in terms of fit and finish and long drive performance hence recommended to go for the same.

Hi ,

I have driven a Santro Xing for almost 4 years and i feel the performance of the car is far superior to that of Zen Estilio . The feel of the car and handling is really nice . It also seems more stable on the road as compared to Zen . In terms of quantifying the results :-

a) Fuel efficiency will be around 13 - 14 KMPL in city
b) Power Steering is far better in Santro
c) Drivers comfort and maintenance is great.
d) Strong AC

Maruti has always been known for Lower spare part cost and they claim higher fuel efficiency .

Hope this helps.

Answer by Vidyut 12 December 2009

Both vehicles are good but Zen is better in terms of fuel efficiency ,driver comfort i.e. seating comfort of driver when in long drive its driver seat has such an orientation that it gives better comfort also the suspensions of santro are worst so you must check these factors and then decide only after driving yourself both the vehicles.

Answer by Rudra 12 December 2009

Thanks for providing me an opportunity to give opinion on Santro vs Estilo. I have owned a top model of Santro. A very honest car indeed & superb engineering ! u can drive it just like a bike in traffic or playing hockey, means very good & easy road handling, has hydraulic power steering which gives a feel of some load in yr hands unlike electric power sttrng in Estilo.ensures better safety. mileage may be 1 kmpl less that Estilo as mine was giving stable 15 kmpl. u should road test both cars with people at the rear seat & take some rough road ( preferably same for both cars) & feel which one is a less bumpy ride. ask yr family for the ride comfort after the ride is over - take a 10 km stretch. Hwever, Santro is more reliable, excllnt AC.
