New Hyundai Santa Fe

New Hyundai Santa FeHyundai Motor’s SUV pioneer Santa Fe premieres with new design refinements and an advanced range of new active safety, comfort and convenience features at the Frankfurt International Motor Show 2015.

 

The popular SUV is Hyundai’s longest-running model in Europe and has become one of its most iconic nameplates, having built a reputation for sophistication and premium quality.

Since its initial launch in 2001, Hyundai has sold over 48,000 units of Santa Fe in the UK. Additionally, Hyundai’s flagship SUV has been a key contributor to its 1.2 million SUV sales in Europe. In fact, the D-segment vehicle accounts for one third of Hyundai’s SUV sales in the region during that period, with the three generations of the car closely associated with the brand’s growth in the market.

The latest Santa Fe retains key elements of the Hyundai ‘family look’, featuring the brand’s hexagonal front grille, finished in chrome. Road presence is enhanced by new front and rear bumpers with redesigned fog and LED daytime running lights, framed with new silver trim. At the front, a new layout for the xenon projector headlamps has been applied, while the rear lamps feature a fresh LED graphic.

The modern and bold exterior appearance benefits from newly designed 17”, 18” and 19” alloy wheels that accentuate the model’s refined lines while reinforcing the car’s status at the top of Hyundai Motor’s SUV line-up.

Inside, Santa Fe remains a refined and comfortable place to be with updates to the console cluster and audio visual navigation system presenting the car’s sophisticated image. The relationship between design and functionality continues throughout the cockpit where new materials and exterior colours build on the premium quality that has become the hallmark of Hyundai’s flagship model.

The New Santa Fe continues to benefit from the optimised powertrains and drivetrains developed by Hyundai Motor for the third-generation model. All engines have been re-tuned to meet the strict Euro6 emission regulations.

The entry grade 2.2-litre CRDi diesel engine deliversCO2 emissions and fuel consumption as low as 149 g/km and 49 mpg respectively, and comes with a smooth and accurate six-gear manual transmission.

The more powerful 2.2-litre CRDi diesel engine has been re-tuned to develop 200 PS and 440 Nm of torque. For drivers choosing petrol power, improvements to the Theta II 2.4-litre engine result in 188 PS and 241 Nm of torque.

Both larger power plants come with a six-gear manual transmission as standard and can also be combined with a six-speed automatic transmission.
