Should You Buy Hyundai Santro Petrol Or CNG?

Based on the current prices mentioned on Hyundai India's official website, it looks like you’ll have to cover about 25,000km - 30,000km to recover the higher upfront price you’re paying for the Santro CNG. Do note that Hyundai are likely to change these prices once the Magna Executive CNG and Sportz Executive CNG make it to the showrooms. But for now at least, the prices make the Santro CNG a lucrative option for Santro buyers because of the small km-to-breakeven figure.
