After kicking off with the Hyundai Xcent compact sedan, the company continued with the momentum and launched its next-generation Santa Fe SUV on the first day of Auto Expo today.
The new Santa Fe is bigger than before, being both longer and wider, although it retains the same wheelbase. As expected, the full-size, seven-seat Santa Fe will come loaded with all the creature comforts you could ask for. There's a 4.3-inch touch screen infotainment system that includes a reverse camera, Bluetooth connectivity, USB and Aux-in, dual-zone climate control and dedicated air-con vents for therear passengers. Safety features include six airbags, traction control, foglamps with cornering lamps, Electronic Stability Control with Vehicle Stability Control, Brake Assist and will also feature an on-demand all-wheel drive system on the top variant. Hyundai has also incorporated three modes for the steering, which alters steering weight by 20 percent depending on what mode is selected.
Hyundai says the new Santa Fe is more spacious than before and there's a huge dose of flexibility as well. The middle-row for example splits 40:20:40 while the third row does a 50:50 split and all three rows recline. And, with the third-row folded, there's 585-litresof boot space as well.
Powering the car is an upgraded version of the 2.2-litre diesel engine which gets third-generation common-rail technology for better efficiency and lower emissions. The engine produces 194bhp at 3,800rpm and 44.5kgm of torque between 1,800-2,500rpm. Hyundai is offering the new Santa Fe SUV with a six-speed manual and a six speed automatic gearbox for the 2WD version, while the 4WD version is only available as an automatic. The Santa Fe will be produced in India at the company’s Chennai plant, and prices are Rs 26.3 lakh for the 2WD Manual, Rs 27.33 lakh for the 2WD Auto and Rs 29.25 lakh for the 4WD Auto (all prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).
