Hyundai Santa Fe - crossover convenience and car dynamics

Hyundai Santa Fe is the Korean crossover of the last generation. It combines the brand design of the brand, good cross-country ability, comfort and rich equipment. But the key phrase is an acceptable price. Now there are a lot of prestigious and luxury cars, but the price of a business class crossover starts at $ 70000-100000 $. But Hyundai Santa Fe is an exception to the rules. With a high level of equipment, it costs only 1.2 million rubles. So many Koreans are asking for the basic equipment of their SUV.
Of course, the crossover in the standard equipment can not be compared with such leaders as the Volkswagen Touareg or Range Rover Sport. However, the top version of the Korean car goes to the same level with the same Tuareg. Hyundai includes a powerful 197-horsepower engine, several airbags, navigation, xenon, leather interior, panoramic roof, a huge set of electronic systems and cruise control. But how much is the Korean crossover in the most expensive version? Price Santa Fe with a diesel engine in the performance of High-Tech is only 1879000 rubles. For this money, you can not buy even the most basic version of the Volkswagen Touareg.

The only drawback of Hyundai is the less powerful engine. The European engine of the base Tuareg develops 280 hp, and the Korean power unit produces only 197 horsepower.

The Hyundai Santa Fe salon of 2013 is characterized by a sporty design and excellent plastic quality. Apparently, Hyundai follows the most proven method of success.

In other words, Koreans improve the quality of their cars with each generation. Progress is visible even when comparing the new Santa Fe with its predecessor. This is confirmed by the fact that earlier manufacturers paid less attention to the interior. Brands saved on finishing materials in order to reduce the cost of cars. But now the strategy of companies has changed, and the interior becomes a reflection of the exterior of the car. Of course, the Koreans could not ignore this trend. Therefore, they bet on the luxurious, modern and comfortable salon of the new Santa Fe.

But how does Hendai Santa Fe go ? Reviews about this car claim excellent driving qualities. The Korean crossover is like a rushing airliner. This Hyundai is confidently kept at high speeds, and a powerful motor quickly accelerates the crossover to the desired speed. In urban conditions, Santa Fe is almost perfect. The high body contributes to an excellent overview, and the driver can foresee the road situation. Modern motors give the crossover good dynamic characteristics, and rapid acceleration is not an obstacle for Santa Fe. In other words, a car with a gasoline engine conquers the 100 km / h limit in 11 seconds after the start, and the diesel version accelerates to the same speed for 2 seconds faster.

Hyundai Santa Fe of the new generation is an innovative, progressive car that brings the Korean brand to the European level. However, it shows signs of American cars, because the greatest demand for Santa Fe is in the US. As for European customers, they can also derive a lot of benefits from the Korean crossover. In particular, it is low fuel consumption and a high level of comfort.
