Priced at about 4,678.75 USD, the new generation Hyundai Atos 2022 debuted in the African market. It has a modern design and the 1.1 liter 69 hp gasoline engine, but very poor safety equipment. After its premiere in countries in the region such as South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana, it was presented in other regions of Africa. In fact, it is the new generation of this city car that was unveiled in India a year ago under the name of Santro, and that is gradually covering the different African countries.
General Aspects
This vehicle took the place of the Hyundai Eón, positioning itself as a more affordable option to the current Grand i10, which in some regions of Africa is offered as a cab. As for its design, it incorporates the "cascading" grille typical of the brand's models, with specific details such as the explorer lights and rearview mirrors with directional light. Another of its features is the wavy side line, and the bumpers that give it a certain aspect of robustness.
Inside, the dashboard places the multimedia center touch screen in a forward position, with vertical vents around it for ventilation. The steering wheel has audio controls, and the power window controls are in front of the gearshift lever, in a particularly uncomfortable position.
Simple and economical mechanics
The powertrain configuration of the Hyundai Atos 2022 is based on a small 1.1-liter, four-cylinder, 12-valve Epsilon engine with 68 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 99 Nm of torque at 2,800 rpm, connected to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It generates 68 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 99 Nm of torque at 2,800 rpm, connected to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
As for the suspension system, the front suspension is McPherson type, while the rear has the CTBA (Coupled Torsion Beam Axle) system, for greater stability and comfort. The steering is electrically assisted and the braking system has solid discs at the front and drums at the rear... without ABS or any type of electronic assistance.
