The third-generation Hyundai Santa Fe Classic five-seater crossover is one of the most famous cars in Russia in its class. Korean developers managed to combine such positive features as a high level of comfort, safety, modern design and beautiful interior in one car. All this allows the SUV to be out of competition with more expensive European-made crossovers. So, let's take a closer look at all the features of the third series of "Hyundai Santa Fe Classic".

Reviews and review of appearance

The design of the new car impresses with its large size and aerodynamic body shape. And optional alloy wheels and tinted windows make the car truly impressive. In general, the updated "Hyundai Santa Fe Classic" has a powerful and strong appearance, thanks to which it is immediately associated with a real off-road car, ready to conquerany routes. By the way, thanks to the modified body structure, the novelty now has an increased level of safety.

New interior

It is worth noting that the SUV has a fairly spacious and attractive interior, which boasts a large distance between the rear and front row of seats. Thanks to the new climate control system, the driver can fully control and change the temperature of the cabin at will, and the quality of finishing materials has now become an order of magnitude higher. Noise isolation is also good here: at any speed, engine noise is almost imperceptible in the cabin. The trunk can hold up to 850 liters of luggage, and with the seats folded down, this volume increases to 2100 liters.

Specifications of the updated car

In the basic configuration, the novelty will be equipped with a 111-horsepower gasoline engine, the working volume of which is 2 liters. It is supplied with a five-speed gearbox (manual transmission). The manufacturer does not provide for the installation of automatic transmissions on this engine. In more expensive trim levels, buyers will have access to an engine with a capacity of 173 "horses" and a displacement of 2700 cubic centimeters. The variety of transmissions here is small: only one automatic transmission in 4 steps. The most powerful motor allows the SUV to dial "hundred" in 11.6 seconds. "Maximum speed" here is equal to 182 kilometers per hour. Unfortunately, the 112-horsepower engine cannot boast such excellent dynamiccharacteristics: up to 100 km / h, such a car accelerates in only 14.6 seconds, and its peak speed does not exceed 168 kilometers per hour.

Hyundai Santa Fe Classic: Price

The initial cost for a new generation of Korean crossovers starts at 715 thousand rubles. The most expensive version will cost off-road lovers 835 thousand rubles. By the way, in addition to engines, buyers can choose the desired drive (the novelty can be front- and all-wheel drive), as well as optionally order a variety of electronic systems that increase the level of car safety.
