New Hyundai Santa Fe - stylish, powerful, aggressive and reliable

Not long ago, with the words "Korean car" many scoffed contemptuously, as if showing that they would not accept such a vehicle. Now, looking at the flow of cars, you can easily identify in it a couple of representatives of the Korean automotive Industry. And it's no accident. These machines have already proven to many that they are competitive. If there is a choice of a car for a large family, with a high ground clearance and at the same time quite economical, it is worth paying attention to Hyundai Santa Fe.

The car was created in the last century, and to be more precise, in 1999. It was then that Hyundai Motor Company decided to make the first in their history crossover. This experience was so successful that the company took the path of development of this direction, and soon the world saw Hyundai Tucson. But that is another story. A few years later, namely in 2006 in the motor show of Detroit, Korean specialists introduced the second generation of Hyundai Santa Fe. The car changed a little bit externally and got a new engine. Time passed, and the third version did not take long to wait. In 2012 in New York, the company Hondai Motors introduced not just a modified, but a completely new car, which can now be purchased from authorized dealers.

So, what has changed, and what is the new Hyundai Santa Fe?

Using the latest developments, the specialists of Hyundai Motors in the production of the body used the same technologies as when creating the innovative i40. The exterior of the car has become more sporty and even somewhat aggressive due to a new grille and large elongated headlights. Also, the car received 19-inch wheels, which are now included in the basic configuration.

Hyundai Santa Fe is presented in two versions - for 5 and 7 seats. At the same time, the length of the wheelbase is increased by 10 cm in the seven-seater car , while in the five-seat version it is 270 cm. Another nice novelty: the automatic transmission on the crossover is made in such a way that it does not have to change the oil. The manufacturer has measured the car about 500 000 km of run, and only after them it will be necessary to replace the oil in the box. This, undoubtedly, can be attributed to another plus of Hyundai Santa Fe. The car's specifications have also changed, and now there are three engine variants - two diesel and one petrol. The first is a two-liter diesel with 150 horses. The second engine is more powerful - 2.2 liters at 200 horses (allows you to reach the coveted hundreds in only 9.4 seconds). Gasoline engine - 2.4 liters per 193 hp

In the car there are many functions that greatly facilitate the driver's control of the car and creating comfort. Now the driver has adaptive cruise control, wipers with a rain sensor and, of course, assistant parking.

If you are looking for a spacious, powerful and yet reliable car, then pay attention to Hyundai Santa Fe. The owners' feedback confirms that Korean cars are capable of much and in no way inferior to their European competitors.

Buying a car from an authorized dealer, the owner receives five years of warranty and assistance on the road also for five years. On the basis of this, it can be concluded that manufacturers are confident in their machines if they offer such a long warranty period.
