March 20, 2018, 23:36
At the end of February this year, the veil of secrecy was removed from the new flagship of Hyundai - Santa Fe 2018. The Korean auto giant introduced the fresh fourth generation of the popular crossover to the world. The car not only changed its appearance, simultaneously increasing volumes, but also significantly expanded its technical capabilities. In Russia, sales of the model will begin in the second half of the year - the manufacturer does not intend to delay the debut of the SUV in our country, because this model is traditionally one of the leaders of the Russian market in its segment.
New masterpiece
Barely born, Santa Fe 2018 attracted an unprecedented amount of attention. For a long time, the Korean concern hid its offspring from the eyes and cameras of curious journalists, but in February they gave up and presented the first pictures and information about the new product. In early March, an official show took place at the Geneva Motor Show, where the Hyundai Santa Fe in a new body left the most pleasant impressions. He was struck by the appearance, significantly "matured" after a complete redesign, and high-quality interior, and reliable technical content.
The previous three versions of Santa Fe brought the company unprecedented sales. The demand for this model is huge. The fourth generation, however, began to be bought up at all long before entering the market. The number of pre-orders in Korea amazed even the developers themselves, and at that time there were not even official photos of the novelty. So far, you can buy a crossover only in Korea, but, as the manufacturer promises, in the summer of 2018 it will become available for the Russian motorist.
Style and Power
Of course, the most noticeable change in the fourth generation of the Hyundai Santa Fe was a trendy, eye-catching image. It is very different from previous models, but includes design moves already tried on the Kona and the concept NEXO. The company said that the new style will soon be transferred to other crossovers of the concern.
The massive Santa Fe front does not look aggressive, rather serious and confident. The hood of the new crossover is more voluminous and “inflated”, with original stampings on the sides. The ascending line of the sill and the slightly “inflated” look give the car solidity. Narrow cone-shaped LED headlights are “summed up” by a chrome-plated arrow-shaped strip and separated from other lighting equipment, which, in turn, is placed lower in wide niches.
Special attention should be paid to the powerful original grille. It has the shape of a curvilinear hexagonal trapezoid with coarse-grained cells and a large Hyundai logo in the middle. It is this design idea that attracts at first sight and makes you pay attention to everything else.
Sideways Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 looks stylish and dynamic. A slightly lowered bonnet line, an elongated body with a rear spoiler, a clearly defined shoulder rib, wide doors and powerful, massive arches of irregular shape with voluminous overlays give the car a swift, strong and sporty character. Mirrors on the fourth version of Hyundai now rise on legs, the line of windows has changed and small triangles have been added in front - experiments with glazing are designed to improve the driver's view.
Behind the crossover is made in a more relaxed way. The tailgate is neat and compact, complemented by a top spoiler with an additional brake light. The lanterns, expanding towards the sides, smoothly disappear on the sides of the car. Between themselves they are connected by a chrome bar. A protective pad is installed on the bumper, and additional lighting equipment is located along its edges.
Dimensions Hyundai Santa Fe in a new body:
The dimensions of the novelty exceed its predecessor. So, the wheelbase of the new Santa Fe has been increased from 2,700 mm to 2,765 mm, the length of the SUV is now 4,770 mm (was 4,700 mm), the width is 1,890 mm (10 mm more). The height remains the same and is 1,680 mm.
Interior
Salon Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 is not overloaded with unnecessary details. Everything is done in a modern, practical and neat style. A large number of straight lines gives seriousness and solidity, and the original inserts on the doors and dashboard complement the space with comfort.
The center console is filled with only the essentials. One of the main tasks of the new Hyundai is to minimize driver distraction from the road. In the middle is a perfectly built-in display of the media system. It is separated by air ducts from the rest of the controls. A convenient multifunctional steering wheel will save the driver from having to look for buttons on the console. In addition, it is regulated according to various parameters and will “adjust” to any person.
Perhaps the most interesting in interior design will be the dashboard. In its center is a seven-inch display that displays the speedometer and trip computer data. Manufacturers even promise to make a different color scheme for each of the trim levels. The rest of the interior is spacious and comfortable. The front seats have a wide range of settings and have good lateral support.
The rear sofa is able to accommodate three passengers, but it will still be more convenient for two. Legroom and headroom are plentiful, and the seats fold down with a single button.
The third row of seats will be available only to order; seven-seater models are not supplied to Russia at all. But the quality and convenience of additional seats is not inferior to the rest.
The Santa Fe's trunk is quite spacious. In a five-seater car, it has increased to 625 liters, and in a seven-seater up to 130 liters.
Specifications
Hyundai Santa Fe has changed beyond recognition, but the manufacturers did not change the engines and left the same ones as on the previous version of the crossover. So, buyers will be offered three types of power units:
- Diesel R 2.0 e-VGT (186 hp);
- Diesel R 2.2 e-VGT (202 hp);
- Petrol turbo four T-GDi (235 hp).
The transmission is new. This is an eight-speed "automatic" with improved "pickup" at low revs and reduced fuel consumption at high. Such a box is already used by Korean manufacturers and is installed on the Kia Sorento Prime. The drive of the Hyundai Santa Fe will remain the same - front with the ability to connect the rear. However, the rear wheel coupling will now be fully electric, and not electro-hydraulic, like its predecessors. This should have a positive effect on the connection speed of the rear node and on the response when slipping.
A few more innovations will be: electric power steering on a rack and pinion mechanism, an automatic braking system for forward and reverse, as well as keeping the car in the lane, automatic switching of the main beam to the dipped beam and, for the first time, a reminder system for the driver about passengers forgotten in the rear seat (children or pets). ).
Test
There is little information on testing the Hyundai Santa Fe 2018. The car only "introduced itself" to the general public and has not yet had time to show itself in real conditions. But some feedback can already be obtained from American drivers. So, it is known that even the weakest version of the engine (2.0 l 186 hp) does an excellent job with acceleration and traction. There is, however, a slight jerkiness during acceleration, but it is not very noticeable. The rest of the motor runs smoothly and quietly.
Management is easy and comfortable. The electric booster interacts with the driver and provides good feedback. The suspension handles road conditions with ease.
Noise isolation is of high quality, there are no extraneous sounds from the road or from the tires in the cabin. And that's all for now. More detailed information will appear later.
Prices and equipment
What and for what cost will be delivered to Russia will be known only before the start of sales, but in Korea, Santa Fe 2018 can be ordered now. So, the basic version with a two-liter diesel engine will cost about 1.5 million rubles. A 2.2-liter diesel engine will come out at about 1.8 million, and for a gasoline version they will ask from 1.48 million.
The new Hyundai Santa Fe is significantly different from its predecessor. It impresses with its appearance and pleases with a pleasant interior. Given the excitement of buyers, in the first days after the debut, the company can count on record sales. On the technical side, little is known so far, but let's hope that the fourth Santa Fe will please with quality and in motion.
Hyundai Santa Fe will no longer have an extended version with the prefix Grand, instead of it, a larger and independent model with a different name and original design will debut after a while. Santa Fe, in turn, has become slightly larger than its predecessor: the length has grown from 4700 to 4770 mm, the wheelbase - from 2700 to 2765 mm, the width - from 1880 to 1890 mm, the height has not changed - 1680 mm.
The new generation crossover has a 5 + 2 landing formula: two flat seats for low passengers can be installed in the trunk, while leaving 130 liters for bags behind them. Without the third row, the declared trunk volume is 625 liters, if you fold the second row seats and load things up to the ceiling - 2019 liters.
The Korean manufacturer placed special emphasis on caring for children: the car received a unique passenger recognition system. If the driver got out of the car and forgot someone in the cabin, the car will sound and light signals, as well as send a notification to the smartphone. This is done so that careless parents do not leave their offspring in the car in the sun - in the United States, dozens of children die from this every year.
Another soul-saving system locks the doors if a passenger wants to get out of the car, but sensors have detected an approaching car or cyclist outside. The benefits of this innovation are clearly shown in the promo video with the “pissing boy” that has already made a splash on the Internet:
There are no revelations in the interior design for Hyundai customers and fans, only stylish 3D speaker grids can be attributed to original solutions. The instrument panel ranges from classic analog to trendy electronic, with a large painted center section and a variety of wallpapers. In addition, operational information can be broadcast in the form of a color projection on the windshield.
Four engines are currently announced: a gasoline aspirated 2.4 (187 hp), a gasoline “turbo four” 2.0 (235 hp) and two diesel engines - 2.0 (186 hp) and 2.2 (202 hp). ). Gearbox - only 8-speed hydromechanical automatic. The HTRAC all-wheel drive system, as it turned out, has nothing to do with that: it is a conventional interaxle multi-plate clutch with electrical interlock, which is managed by smart electronics.
Of course, the new Hyundai Santa Fe will be sold in Russia: the cars will appear at dealers closer to the middle of the year, but for now, crossovers of the outgoing generation, including those with the Grand prefix, are being sold at discount prices. One can only guess about the prices for the new product: our forecast is at least 2 million rubles for the basic version.
- In early February, it became known that Hyundai plans to launch.
- In January, Hyundai on the Tucson compact crossover.
