Those cars that are in showrooms at the stand under the Hyundai brand are not concepts or even mock-ups at all. These are completely new cars of the Santa Fe model, and it is they who lure Russian residents to purchase such a crossover at the stands. Not much time has passed, and already half of the cars in the city are exactly the Hyundai Santa Fe. In this article, you should understand why it is so popular. Also, you should understand how it has changed compared to the old generation. And at the end of the article, we will supplement the material with the technical characteristics of the Hyundai Santa Fe.

History

The very first crossover called Santa Fe was introduced to the world back in 2001. And it was sold only to Americans and residents of neighboring countries. They were produced in the first generation until 2007, afterwhich continued the second version in Taganrog, and produced it until 2013. That's it, she entered the Russian Federation, and every resident of our country could easily buy a brand new "Santa Fe". Specifications "Hyundai" will be further in the material of the article.

But the latest generation was presented at the end of 2012 in New York and for more than six years it has been produced and is on free sale in the Russian Federation. In just six months after the release of the car, more than 3,300 people bought it. At that time, these were bad indicators. By comparison, Hyundai Tucson and Creta had much more sales. However, the price plays a big role here: the "younger brothers" really are much cheaper. It's easier for people to buy it.

New Generation

In March 2018, the 4th generation, presented in Geneva, reached the Russian Federation. However, it came to us only 5 months after the official release.

Exterior

The front end has been redesigned in the 4th generation. Optics has become different, consisting of two tiers. Facing headlights has become different, coupled with the grille. Also, the headlights had the shape of a parallelogram.

The design of the car was catchy, stylish and daring. Much better than the "brothers" "Hyundai Santa Fe", as its owners say. Yes, and comments on the Internet say the same thing: the style of this car turned out very well with the brand's designers.

Exterior design like the fourthgeneration "Hyundai Santa Fe" (What is the Grand, what is the Premium class) no one else has: it is unique. The designers said they would continue to do this style to their cars in the future. However, whether these forms will be so popular with other brands is unknown. Of course, people want this to happen. After all, if the car is unique, then the desire to buy it will increase. Still, you will have a car that has no analogues anywhere else.

Interior

It is worth noting that the technical characteristics of the "Hyundai Santa Fe" will be further in the material of the article. And now you should get acquainted with the interior of this car. The most important innovation is a digital instrument panel, as well as a new multimedia system screen, which has a diagonal of more than 7 inches. And also the latest version of the brand Krell.

On the windshield you can see the numbers when driving - this is a new head-up display, which is very good. There are also seven-seater versions of the Hyundai Santa Fe - not only additional seats are provided for them, but also buttons to help unfold them.

Finishing materials are quite good: leather, plastic. However, they are at a high level: the plastic is soft, you can press it with your finger, and it will push through. And the leather, as in German cars, is of the same quality. However, everything corresponds to its price category and status: no stitching of material, expensive wood or aluminum inserts can be found in the car.

Power

It's worth moving on to the specifications of the Hyundai Santa Fe. We emphasize that in the Russian Federation this car is offered to fans only in two trim levels:

• This is a 2.4 liter engine with 188 horsepower. It comes with a six-speed automatic transmission.
• Also, it is worth considering the specifications of the "Hyundai Santa Fe Premium". She has a diesel modification, an engine of 200 horsepower, a volume of 2.2 liters. She also has her own transmission: an eight-speed automatic gearbox. In general, even the gearbox is made for fuel economy. But this is clear - after all, residents of the Russian Federation constantly complain about its cost.

Technical characteristics of "Hyundai Santa Fe" diesel we dismantled, now it's worth moving on to other parameters. The drive of the car is exceptionally full. Therefore, she can easily drive off-road. The car also has systems for controlling all-wheel drive. One of them is HTRAC. So we figured out the technical characteristics of the "Hyundai Santa Fe" (Grand, Premium and basic version).
