Hyundai santa fe 7 seater. The new SANTA FE. Special attention to safety

Price: from 2 049 000 rubles.

Hyundai Santa Fe is a popular crossover in Russia and around the world, therefore, to maintain the level of sales, the Koreans decided to replace it with the fourth. The first performance took place in February 2018 in the city of Goyang. The show for the global market took place in March in Geneva.

There are many changes, the review will be delayed. The car has already appeared on the Russian market, so an overview of the crossover is a must.

Appearance

The design of the car has changed dramatically, it is pulled up to the new style of the company, for example, the muzzle is very similar to.

The front end is eye-catching with a new grille, framed by a thick chrome insert at the top. Above the chrome is a narrow LED optic mounted in the base. These are not headlights, but only daytime running lights, the headlights are on the bumper. On the bumper, to the left and right of the radiator grill, we see three lights each - these are low beam, high beam and a turn signal. Fog lights are already visible at the very bottom of the bumper.

Profile Hyundai Santa Fe 2018-2019 has changed its silhouette, becoming faster. There are many sharp transitions along the lines, there are widening and beveling, especially in the upper part of the back. There, the relief line connects to the taillights, thus forming a double extension of the wheel arch between the C-pillar. Chrome is fashionable, it is everywhere, even from the side: door handles, glass edging and roof rails.

Looking at the photo, it seems that the back has not changed much, but after watching the video at the bottom of the page, all the innovations are immediately visible. The tailgate is equated with the Infiniti style, while the headlights are associated with. New narrow diode headlights are installed at the back, diode ones are optional. Upstairs there is a huge anti-wing, plus a decorative one is above the optics. The headlights are connected by a chrome line, the boot lid is electrically operated.

5-door crossover Hyundai Santa Fe has significantly increased in size:

length - 4770 mm;
width - 1890 mm;
height - 1680 mm;
wheelbase - 2765 mm;
ground clearance - 185 mm.

It is impossible to make the appearance of the future purchase individual, you can choose only colors, each for 15,000 rubles. Color options:

white - basic;
red-orange;
Red;
Navy blue;
black;
gray metallic;
dark gray metallic;
gray-green metallic;
dark green metallic;
silver bronze metallic.

New salon

The interior of the crossover has been greatly changed, of course it immediately gives out the manufacturer with style, but there is nothing wrong with that. The upholstery material in the base is fabric, but in the next configuration, leather appears, the color of which can be chosen: black, beige, gray.

The front seats are upholstered in leather, electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated in the top. The detailing of the cladding and the entire interior is enclosed in diamonds, they are also noticeable on speaker grills, rugs, etc. Electric adjustment is complemented by a retractable cushion.

The back row of the Santa Fe 2018-2019 received the same trim, there was more space due to the lengthening of the crossover size. On the armrests there is a button for 2-level seat heating, there are curtains for the windows. In the center there are two USB ports for charging a smartphone, plus a 220V socket has been added.

The buttons on the side of the front passenger seat look unusual for this class. The rear passenger can use these buttons to move the front seat forward or fold it down. This solution is usually found in premium sedans.

Not everyone will like the Asian style of the dash panel, plus it is a little ahead of its time. The upper part of the dashboard is 2-tier, sheathed with leather, in contrast to the lower part. The connection of the torpedo and door trim looks stylish. The center console evokes different impressions, yes, the manufacturer installed an 8-inch multimedia touchscreen display separately - what Mercedes does, but it also took out the buttons and it looks doubtful. Hyundai Santa Fe 2018-2019 multimedia supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interface.

The climate controls are highlighted with a chrome insert, these are buttons, two washers and a monitor displaying data. At the transition to the tunnel, there is a port for charging a smartphone and a place with wireless charging. The tunnel has a large gearshift selector, behind which are buttons for driving modes, electronic parking brake and all-round view. There are two cup holders on the right side of the tunnels.

An optional Krell audio system with 9 speakers, subwoofer and amplifier is installed.

Driver's seat

The pilot gets a thick, leather, 3-spoke steering wheel with one chrome spoke and car control buttons. The column is adjustable in height and reach, there is heating.

Before the eyes of the dashboard - a 7-inch display and analog gauges on the left and right. The display is square and, unfortunately, its frames are visible, despite the fact that the entire dashboard is black. The display will show a lot of useful information, you can customize the behavior of Hyundai Santa Fe through it, etc.

There is a projection on the windshield that works with the traffic sign recognition system. The system shows the current speed and the last speed limit sign.

Trunk

If you don't order the third row of seats, the boot will be 630 liters, more than its predecessor. In the 7-seater version, it is 328-liter. Under the floor there are foam organizers and a standard set of tools.

The full-size spare wheel is hidden under the bottom.

With the seats folded down, the total volume rises to 2002 liters. The armchairs are folded by a servo drive, so you get a flat floor with a length of 2 meters.

Engine and gearbox

The new crossover is driven by old engines, but the technical part has not remained completely unchanged, there are innovations, but more about them later.

4-cylinder engines of the new Hyundai Santa Fe:

Basic - Theta-II 2.4GDI with a volume of 2.4 liters, producing 188 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 241 H * m of torque at 4000 rpm;
Diesel R2.2 CRDi VGT 2.2 liters with 200 horses at 3800 revs of the tachometer and 440 units of torque at almost idle - 1750 rev / min.

A couple are different gearboxes, for a gasoline engine a 6-speed automatic transmission, and for a diesel engine an 8-speed automatic. The dynamics are weak by modern standards - 10.4 seconds for the Theta-II 2.4GDI and 9.4 seconds for the R2.2 CRDi VGT.

The drive of the car is full, but by default it is front. If necessary, the electronic HTRAC all-wheel drive system will transfer up to 50% of the torque to the rear axle through an electric clutch. The system is needed for driving in winter, that is, for the stability of the car, this is an innovation.

Suspension, brakes and steering

Crossover Santa Fe is built on a redesigned third-generation platform. Both axles are on an independent circuit, the front is a McPherson circuit with an anti-roll bar and telescopic shock absorbers. The rear axle is on a multi-link with a stabilizer bar.

Cars with air suspension exist, but they have not yet arrived in Russia. Such crossovers were given to journalists.

Stopping occurs with disc brakes with a wear indicator. The brakes are nothing new, they are all also complemented by ABS, EBD, etc. The steering is supplemented with an electric booster, the steering wheel speed is 2.71.

Security systems

Many systems have been installed, as required by European states. Systems:

safe exit from the parking, notifying about the car from the side;
control of blind spots, which works not only while driving, but also during a stop. If a car is driving behind, the rear passengers will not be able to open the doors;
the system of keeping the car in the lane for 5 seconds if the hands are not on the steering wheel;
automatic switching of high beam;
automatic braking in front of an obstacle;
adaptive cruise control;
all-round visibility.

Choose a car

There was a time when the Hyundai Santa Fe was able to “pave the way” for the Hyundai Motor Company in the crossover division. In addition, the South Korean company has achieved real success in the global market. The Hyundai Santa Fe is a "mid-size SUV" with a 5- or 7-seater cabin and is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

The car has good "driving" qualities, moderate cross-country ability, great practicality. There are 4 generations of this vehicle in total. The latest family of the new Hyundai Santa Fe 4 was officially unveiled in March 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show. The entire Hyundai lineup.

Car history

This car, built on the basis of the Sonata sedan, saw its debut in 2000. Almost instantly, the car became the South Korean company's bestseller in the United States market. After 2012, when the next "reincarnation" took place, the car received a seven-seat version with the "Grand" prefix in the name. At the moment, the car has a steady demand, mainly in North America - more than 120,000 vehicles are sold every year.

It is interesting that this car is the first crossover in the history of the company, which was developed by its own specialists.

Santa Fe Classic (2000-2006, TagAZ 2007-2014)

The Korean company for the first time officially showed its new Hyundai Santa Fe in 1999. Starting next year, the car began to be assembled in serial order. Despite the fact that the new car came out along with such models as the Mazda Tribute and Pontiac Aztek, as well as criticism for the slurred appearance, the novelty won the respect of motorists from the United States.

There were times when the plant did not have time to meet the demand and ensure the demand for cars. After the appearance of the 2nd generation of this crossover in 2006, the release of the debut version was transferred to the domestic automobile enterprise. Therefore, the car began to be produced by the Taganrog Automobile Plant (TagAZ).

The 1st generation Hyundai Santa Fe was produced when cars from Korea were simple in design, but reliable and fully met the goals of the crossover. And many forgave the unusual appearance due to the low cost. It was just a simple and reliable approach that allowed the "Korean" to win everyone's respect. Interestingly, even today you can find crossovers in good condition.

The company's specialists were not tasked with luring customers with chrome, bumpers, moldings, bright colors, unusual lines and other modern technological "gadgets". Therefore, Koreans saved on the work of the design team. It is unlikely that anyone will say something bad about the timeless classics, which always remain in fashion.

Similar associations appear when examining the appearance of the Santa Fe Classic. There are huge sizes, smoothed corners, cast "rollers", tinted glass. All this causes a certain stability, disposition, a sense of trust. The exterior of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2000 has large dimensions, as well as a streamlined shape.

This car was named after the resort town of Santa Fe, which is the administrative center of the American state of New Mexico.

After a calm appearance, getting into the salon of the 1st generation Hyundai Santa Fe does not experience a sharp drop, for which the plant workers should be separately praised. Here you can find solid and high-quality interior decoration, comfortable chairs and armrests, high noise insulation, smooth ride, good traction.

They decided to choose leather or velor as the finishing material for the interior. Designers have well thought out the issue of ergonomics, so everything you need is always nearby. Not forgotten about the high seating position and the height-adjustable steering wheel. The driver is not distracted from driving. There is a rack and pinion steering mechanism.

The “tidy” turned out to be simple, but informative at any time of the day. The driver's seat is mechanically adjustable in height and has lumbar support and lateral support. Absolutely all chairs are equipped with an adjustable backrest angle.

There is a 2-section armrest at the front, as well as a pair of power outlets. There is a drawer under the passenger sitting in front. Inside there is enough free space for all passengers, so the issue of spaciousness disappears. You can set a certain temperature regime using a modern climate control system.

The luggage compartment received 469 liters. However, if necessary, it can be increased by folding the rear seats, which will already provide 2,100 liters. useful space.

Moreover, a flat floor is formed. There is a 12V socket in the luggage compartment niche under the tool mat. It's also nice that you can open the rear window separately, which is very helpful in tight parking lots.

From the very start of sales (2000) and until 2012, this car was sold in many countries in two generations in the amount of more than 2,500,000 copies.

In the first year of production, this vehicle was equipped with a couple of power units operating on gasoline. It was an economical and low-powered 2.4-liter engine that produced 150 horsepower. He worked together with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission.

The drive was only to the front wheels. Next came a V-shaped six-cylinder 2.7-liter unit for 173 "horses", which received an automatic transmission with an all-wheel drive system. Starting in 2001, they began to produce a two-liter version of the turbodiesel, which gave 112 horse power. At the end of the existence of the first generation, its power increased to 125 hp.

Speaking for the suspension, it received a non-standard solution, as for the off-road versions of that time. The first generation Hyundai Santa Fe has a fully independent suspension, where McPherson struts are in front, and double levers at the back, a large margin of safety, even considering the quality of domestic roads.

The advantages of the "Korean" include its good smoothness. The permanent all-wheel drive system is able to distribute torque in a proportion of 60 percent to the front and 40 percent to the rear. As soon as slipping begins, the viscous clutch locks the center differential.

The car of the first family has a "licensed copy" in the guise of the Chinese crossover JAC Rein.

The 2002 version of the car already has an increased fuel tank up to 71 liters. (previously there was a 64-liter tank) and minor changes inside and out. I liked the introduction of two-tone interior colors. After 2003, the crossover had a 200-horsepower V6 engine with 3.5-liter displacement and a five-speed automatic transmission. With the onset of 2005, the model underwent a slight facelift, which affected the shape of the radiator grille, rear bumper and "tidy".

II generation (2006-2012)

The next family of Santa Fe cars was officially shown in 2006 during the Detroit International Exhibition. Already in the spring of the same year, the model began to be sold. During the 2010 show, which took place in Frankfurt, they released an updated car, which received a fresher appearance, an improved interior and a couple of new diesel engines.

Serial production of the crossover from Korea continued until 2012, giving way to the next third generation. The second version of the Korean car seriously stands out from the first. The debut models were assembled only on the line of the enterprise in Montgomery (USA). After 2009, the company launched production in the Czech Republic. And since 2007, Hyundai Santa Fe II has appeared in a number of European countries with some changes. The novelty occupied an intermediate niche between the ix35 (Tucson) and ix55 (Veracruz) crossovers.

The Korean crossover looks massive, solid and powerful for its time. There is the presence of flowing lines and body shape that are familiar to many crossovers. The massive side sections, the large radiator grille, the expressive wheel arches, the Asian head optics and the two trapezoidal tailpipes are eloquent testimony to the strength.

If you cover the company's nameplate in the front of the car, then the "Korean" can be mistaken for a more prestigious car. Large rims only emphasize the respectability of a comfortable crossover. The ground clearance of the 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe was 203 millimeters, which is very good.

The update provided the five-door with a new bumper, false radiator grille in body color, "fog lights" edging and new roof rails. The wheels have received a new design and a diameter of 18 inches.

Interestingly, in 2006, the second generation Santa Fe set a world record for fuel economy in mid-size crossovers.

Off-road cars Hyundai Santa Fe 2 have a fairly standard, attractive and comfortable interior. The dashboard looks nice with three round indicator windows. In the top-end configuration, the interior trim is made of leather, the box in the driver's armrest has a cooling function, and there is also a light sensor.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2 has an automatic adjustment of the position of the seats installed in front, with eight positions. Many drivers were delighted with the rear camera, which displays the image on a display mounted in the mirror. Some versions received audio systems with control buttons on the steering wheel, electronic ABS assistants and climate control with an air ionization option.

The steering wheel itself is beautiful and has a metallic decor. The dark wood paneling manages to emphasize the overall styling of the vehicle. The second family received new dial fonts and a more pleasing backlight shade compared to the first generation. Do not forget to equip the car with a wireless Bluetooth headset, which makes the operation more convenient.

Car owners talk about the good quality of the seat heating function - the function is actually comfortable and can be easily adjusted. Hyundai Santa Fe 2 received an immobilizer, central locking and a start button for the power unit, as well as the possibility of safe keyless access to the cabin. The passengers sitting in the back have enough free space.

The driver's and front passenger seats received lateral support and the function of electrical adjustments. The second row has a wide armrest with cup holders, and the backrest can be tilted. The luggage compartment has now received an increased volume - 774 liters, and if necessary, the rear backrests can be removed into a flat floor, which will already provide 1,582 liters of usable volume.

The Russians received two power units for the "second" Santa Fe. The standard version is a four-cylinder, naturally aspirated, 2.4-liter power plant with distributed fuel injection. As a result, the "engine" develops 174 horsepower and 226 Nm.

Next up is a turbocharged, in-line, four-cylinder, 2.2-liter diesel engine. All this allows the engine to deliver 197 horsepower and 421 Nm of torque. For any motor, you can choose a manual or automatic transmission (both have 6 speeds). Already in the base, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2 crossover has an all-wheel drive system, which, in normal situations, transfers all the efforts to the front wheels.

But if one of the wheels begins to slip, up to 50 percent of the rotating forces are transferred to the rear wheels. This process is monitored by an electronically controlled multi-plate friction clutch. The gasoline power plant accelerates to the first hundred in 10.7-11.7 seconds, and the maximum speed is 186-190 kilometers per hour. And the diesel engine is a little "livelier" - 9.8-10.2 seconds to the speed mark of 100 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed does not exceed 190 kilometers per hour.

The mixed cycle of a 174-horsepower unit requires 8.7-8.8 liters, while the diesel version requires 6.8-7.2 liters for every 100 km. As a basis for Santa Fe 2, they decided to use the front-wheel drive architecture from the Hyundai Sonata sedan. The front suspension structure has McPherson struts and the rear axle has independent multi-link suspension. The steering has a hydraulic power steering, and the braking system received disc brakes "in a circle" (the front ones received ventilation), as well as electronic assistants ABS and ESC.

The safety of the 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe is not in the last place. The car of the first generation passed crash tests, which showed a high level of safety. But the performance of the second Santa Fe family has only improved. The machine is equipped with front and side airbags, belt pretensioners and curtain airbags. For the high-quality safety of passengers, experts have provided active head restraints.

Official dealers presented their crossover in 4 versions: Base, Comfort, Style and Elegance. The regular version of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2 received a gasoline engine, a manual transmission and front-wheel drive. This version of Base cost 1,079,900 rubles. It has front and side airbags, curtain airbags, belt pretensioners and active head restraints, electronic ABS and EBD assistants, an immobilizer, heated front seats, a 2-zone climate system with ionization function.

There is also a central locking, "music" with control buttons on the steering wheel, fabric upholstery and 17-inch "rollers" made of light alloy. The all-wheel drive version had a turbodiesel engine and an automatic transmission performed by Elegance + Navi - 1 654 900 r. This version possessed:

xenon headlights with washers and automatic corrector;
parking sensors;
electric adjustment of the driver's seat in 8 directions;
electric adjustment of the passenger seat;
rear camera;
keyless access to the salon and a start button for the engine.

It is important that the "top" version is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, a cooled box in the driver's armrest, an electrically operated sunroof, and cruise control. The Koreans did not forget to install a navigation system, a light sensor, leather interior trim, heat-protective windshield front side windows and cast "rollers" with a diameter of 18 inches. The secondary market offers to purchase the second generation of the Korean crossoverHyundai Santa Fe from 700,000 to 1,200,000 rubles.

III generation (2012-2015)

Exterior

The next 3rd generation of the mid-size Korean 5-seater crossover was released in the summer of 2012. The novelty was the first model, which embodied the new design concept of the brand "Storm Edge". In European countries, the vehicle is called Santa Fe Sport, and in our country it is simply called Santa Fe.

Korean specialists were able to combine a high level of safety, comfort and advanced workmanship with modern filling. All this allows the car to easily compete with more "eminent" European giants.

In 2012, the car of the 3rd division passed the Euro NCAP tests and showed excellent results - the maximum 5 stars.

The exterior of the Hyundai Santa Fe 3 generations was created in the concept of "flowing lines". In fact, everything looks great. Appearance and attractive, and flowing, but devoid of something flashy or eccentric. The front has a large chrome grille, a two-tone front bumper, sharpened optics and fog lights, and a sloping bonnet.

There are optics with LED filling with an interesting shape. When looking at the front end of the Hyundai Santa Fe III, it is simply impossible to confuse the car with another brand. The side part is intriguing - there are proportional and harmonious lines. There are massive doors, which have been stamped at the bottom and at the top, which cover the entire rear wing and a little bit of the front.

The gas tank is equipped with a round hatch. Not without small rear door windows and a slightly overwhelmed roof. The entire silhouette of the Korean crossover Hyundai Santa Fe 3 testifies to the aggressiveness and sporty attitude. The ground clearance in the third generation was 185 millimeters.

The rear has a thoroughbred look with a dual exhaust, efficient wing and extended feet. There are also LED elements. There is a duplicated brake light on the spoiler. You can recognize the vehicle by the plastic body kit around the entire perimeter of the car, which is in perfect harmony with the large "rollers" of light alloy. The rear bumper also received protection and reflectors.

List of "regalia" Hyundai Santa Fe 3 has a "Top Safety Pick", which is the highest safety award from the American IIHS.

Interior

The interior of Hyundai Santa Fe III was made with high quality, soundly and in the corporate style of the company. There is a wave-like dashboard, decorated with uniquely shaped holes of the ventilation system, as well as a nice and informative "tidy". The dashboard itself has a soft blue backlight and deep wells, in which speed and RPM sensors are hidden.

The center console has a large screen under a special visor that improves visibility and prevents glare. Inside, a 3-spoke beautiful steering wheel immediately catches the eye, reminiscent of the letter "V" and received controls for controlling the multimedia system.

Below the display is the options management section. Visually, this area is distinguished by 2 "twists", strewn with keys on all sides. Ergonomics are above all praise - everything is at hand and the driver does not need to reach for any controls. The gearshift lever is comfortable, and the keys around it fit well into the overall picture of the interior.

During the finishing, only high quality materials were used. There is plenty of free space for all passengers in both rows. The chairs themselves turned out to be comfortable, they have excellent lateral support and a lot of adjustments. The second row is made for two adult passengers and is equipped with an armrest and other pleasant things.

Hyundai Santa Fe III unveils the first car designed with the latest Storm Edge design.

The luggage compartment received 585 liters, but it can be increased by folding the rear seats. Thereafter, the volume will increase to 1,680 liters of usable space.

The owners note a good level of noise insulation of the crossover. To do this, a group of engineers decided to use thicker glass and special insulation mats in order to confidently protect passengers from external noise, the whistle of the wind and from the sound of the engine.

Generally speaking, the interior was adjusted to the "standards" of premium cars. There is plastic, but it is expensive and pleasant. There are no backlash, crooked seams and problems with front panel inconsistencies. Korean engineers managed to take into account all the flaws of past generations and make a really cozy car with a high level of comfort.

Specifications Santa Fe III

Power unit III generation

The technical part of the "third" Santa Fe received two power units. The base is considered the improved Theta II gasoline power plant, which received a working volume of 2.4 liters, which develops 175 horsepower. The engine received a new distributed gasoline supply system with variable injector geometry and meets Euro-4 environmental standards.

The maximum speed is 190 kilometers per hour, and the first hundred is reached by Hyundai Santa Fe III in 11.4 seconds. with a mechanical box and 11.6 sec. with automatic gearbox. This "engine" consumes about 8.9 liters. fuel in combined mode, 11.7 / 12.3 liters in the city (with a manual and automatic transmission), and on the highway - 7.3 and 6.9 liters. respectively.

In the role of the second, they decided to use a diesel 2.2-liter power unit. The engine is called the R 2.2 VHT and produces 197 horsepower. There is a common rail injection system of the 3rd family, an electronic turbocharger, an EGR cooler and piezo injectors with pressures up to 1,800 bar.

Diesel has 436 Nm. The first hundred is reached in 9.8 seconds, and the maximum speed does not exceed 190 kilometers per hour. The diesel version works exclusively with the "automatic". The average consumption in the combined cycle is 6.6 liters per 100 km, in the city 8.8, and outside the city only 5.3 liters of diesel fuel.

Suspension

The suspension of the novelty has changed significantly in the settings, which has changed the height of the ground clearance and the center of gravity of the car. As a result, the car is much easier to control on a flat road, confidently keeping its course and easily coping with turns at speed, providing peace and the proper level of passenger comfort.

However, when any bumps, pits and so on appear, real shaking is felt, the noise inside the car increases and the stability of the vehicle decreases. Not everything is so sad, since this happens in almost all crossovers of this division. The suspension itself has the same independent structure, there are McPherson struts in front, and the rear has a multi-link system.

Brake system

"Brakes" have disc brakes on all wheels (front ventilated) and have wear sensors with parking brake and electronic control. The steering wheel has already received an electric amplifier and three switchable operating modes: "Comfort", "Normal" and "Sport".

Safety

Based on tests of the Euro NCAP standard, Hyundai Santa Fe 3 received 5 stars. Adult safety was 96 percent and pedestrian safety during collisions was 71 percent. It is also gratifying that Euro NCAP has decided to award this vehicle the title of “safest car” in its niche.

Cost and equipment

For our country, the Koreans have provided an abundance of performances. There are 6 complete sets in total. The "Base" version was attributed to the cheapest one, supplied only with a gasoline engine, front-wheel drive transmission and a manual transmission. Such a car has:

frontal airbags,
electrical systems EBA, EBD and ABS,
17-inch "rollers",
cloth interior with heated front seats,
cruise control,
air conditioner,

The package bundle is not the richest, but everything needs to be present. You will need to pay for it from 1,199,000 rubles.

Then comes the “Comfort” version, which comes in contact with different modifications. She received additional side airbags and curtain pillows, as well as HHC, HDC, ESP and ASR electronics. Inside, it was not without a leather gear lever and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and heated front glass. Price tags start at 1,339,000 rubles for four-wheel drive and manual transmission and end at 1,539,000 for the 2.2-liter CRDi engine and all-wheel drive system.

Restyling of the III generation (2015-2018)

With the onset of September 2015, the Russian market began selling an updated version of the off-road model of the third family, which received a prefix to the name - Premium. The novelty stands out from the pre-styling car with a slightly retouched exterior, modernized finishing materials, chassis and price, which is not surprising. The novelty was shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Restyling favorably affected the overall assessment of the crossover. Aggressiveness and solidity appeared, which the designers achieved thanks to the new radiator grille with horizontal and massive chrome strips. Sports bumpers, "daring" front optics, which extend far into the fenders, and "redrawn" taillights also had a positive effect. The image of innovations was completed by unique "rollers", which can be 17- or 19-inch.

Restyling of the III generation

Inside the updated Hyundai Santa Fe III Premium, there are only subtle changes with the "simple" third generation. The novelty has acquired an infotainment system with an 8-inch display. In addition, the Korean specialists were able to improve the finishing materials in a targeted manner. In all the old cars are the same (the luggage compartment has 585 liters, but it can be increased to 1,680).

The range of power plants and transmissions remained the same. Hyundai Santa Fe Premium was built on an improved "cart" of the third family. The amount of high strength steel in the body structure has noticeably increased, which has a good effect on the body rigidity. All other parameters remained the same. The basic configuration "Start" costs at least 1,956,000 rubles. For the top version of "High-Tech" you will have to pay from 2,301,000 rubles.

Seven-seater Santa Fe III generation (2012-2018)

There is also a seven-seater Hyundai Santa Fe III, released at the end of 2012. The Russians were able to see the model on their market only in the first months of 2014. During 2016, the "Korean seven-seater" received a facelift based on "pinpoint exterior adjustments."

The exterior of the large crossover is made in the design version of the concept of the Hyundai model list. If you pay attention to the shape of the body, then it turned out to be slightly "elongated". On top of that, they visually lengthen the stamping machine on the side of the car. The front end of the 7-seater Hyundai Santa Fe 3 is stern and focused.

The front lighting and fog lamp notches look nice. Unlike the 5-seater crossover, the "family version" has a different side glazing profile, different rear lights and a modified form of fog lights. It is clear that the Hyundai Santa Fe 7 has other, increased dimensions.

These changes have increased the spaciousness of the luggage compartment. With a five-seat filling, the car has 634 liters, and the maximum volume is 1842 liters (with the two rear rows of seats folded. With the maximum number of seats, there is only 176 liters of usable space.

Although the interior of the crossover is the same as that of a simple 5-seater car, there is more free space in the legs of passengers in the 2nd row. As for the third row, it is trimmed in terms of comfort and is better suited for children.

In addition to the diesel engine, there is a 3.0-liter V-type gasoline engine with six boilers. The engine received a new generation direct injection system and produces 249 "horses". The suspension structure is identical to the five-seat Hyundai Santa Fe 3. The minimum cost of a seven-seat model in 2017 is 2,424,000 rubles.

IV generation (2018-present)

The fourth-generation midsize South Korean SUV was officially unveiled in the spring (March) of 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show. The novelty has received an elegant appearance, the most modern and spacious interior, a wide range of power units and a very rich equipment.

Hyundai Santa Fe 4 was created, initially focusing on family people who appreciate a stylish appearance in a car, practical qualities, an excellent level of comfort and safety, as well as a ratio of quality and cost. The first family was first shown during a special event in the city of Goyang, which is located in the northern part of Seoul.

Generation IV appearance

The appearance of the new model Hyundai Santa Fe has changed in all respects. The novelty was pulled up to the new style of the Korean company, for example, the front part is similar to the front area of the Hyundai Kona. The nose area has a new grille framed by a thick chrome insert at the top. The radiator grill itself is made in the shape of a trapezoid and has large cells.

Above the chrome, there is a place for narrow LED optics, which are already installed in the basic configuration, which is very nice. But these are not considered headlights - these are only DRLs, and the headlights themselves are located in the side of the bumper. The front bumper received 3 lights at the corners of the grille - low and high beam and turn signals. The lower part of the bumper has fog lights.

Hyundai Santa Fe IV generation

The side part of the IV generation Hyundai Santa Fe has changed, acquiring impetuous qualities. The new crossover features sharp line transitions, extensions and beveled elements. This is mainly noticeable on the upper rear part. There is a relief line connecting to the aft headlights. It turns out that a kind of double expansion of the wheel arch is formed between the C-pillar.

Since it is very fashionable to use chrome in our time, Korean experts have applied it on many external elements of the car: it is on door handles, glass edging and on roof rails. The ground clearance of the new 2018-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is 185 millimeters. Despite the massive parameters, the five-door profile does not feel heavy.

Rather, on the contrary, there is balance and rather dynamic proportions. There are relief "folds" on the sidewalls, a smoothly rising window sill line and installed on the legs of the external mirrors. Looking at the back of the 2018-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, it seems that it has not undergone major changes. However, when watching a video of the review of the stern, all the innovations become noticeable.

Some assign the rear end to the Infinity styling and the headlights look like lighting. The more expensive version of the stern has new narrow LED headlights available as an option. They did not forget to install a large wing at the top. There is also a small wing above the optics. The headlights themselves were connected by a chrome line, and the tailgate was electrically operated.

Among the color options there is the presence of:

White base;
Red-orange;
Red;
Dark blue;
Black;
Metallic gray;
Dark gray metallic;
Gray-green metallic;
Dark green metallic;
Silver-bronze metallic.

Salon IV generation

The interior of the new generation 2018-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe received a completely new architecture for the front panel and center console. There are horizontal lines with smooth transitions from level to level. Thanks to this, the front panel looks stylish and airy, but powerful and expensive.

Many automakers are trying to improve the animated center screen in every possible way. The Koreans performed it in calming green. The multimedia system itself migrated without change from the 3rd family. The leather steering wheel received finger rests. The top "music" Krell is used, equipped with 9 speakers, a subwoofer and an amplifier.

Unusually for this class, the buttons are located on the side of the front passenger seat. With the help of these buttons, the passenger sitting on the 2nd row can move the front seat forward, or even fold it down. These features are only found in premium sedans.

It is clear that the photographs presented an expensive interior, which received a digital dashboard, a compact and convenient multifunction steering wheel, an advanced multimedia system with a separately placed color display that supports touch input, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with voice control. Such a system was developed by specialists from Hyundai and the Korean company Kakao. In addition, there are:

dual-zone climate control;
leather upholstery of armchairs;
front seats with electric drive, heating and ventilation;
8 airbags;
19-inch "rollers";
fully LED optics;
quality music";
projection display;
blind spot monitoring system and other modern equipment.

The controls for the climate system are distinguished by a chrome insert. The transition from the tunnel has a port for charging a smartphone and a niche for wireless charging. The tunnel received a large gear selector. Behind it are the drive mode keys, an electronic parking brake and an all-round visibility system. The right side of the tunnel has two large cup holders.

According to the manufacturers, the Hyundai Santa Fe 4 interior has only high-quality finishing materials - natural leather and rare species of trees.

The front seats received expensive materials and high-quality orthopedic padding. The first row of seats was made quite comfortably, and the second was prepared for 3 adults. But it is important to note that only 2 chairs received clear contours. You can definitely see that there is only enough free space for 2, since the person sitting in the center will be a little cramped.

The rear seats can be stowed almost to a lying position. The salon itself was simple, but presentable. Pleasant innovations include a 220V socket and 2 USB connectors. There are no frills and unnecessary details. According to the engineering staff, the Korean crossover will have a five-seat and seven-seat performance. Inside it became freer. The dashboard is part digital, part analog - many will appreciate this.

The presence of a panoramic roof will only add its zest, and with it, a sense of space, visually blurring the line between the interior and the sky. The third row of seats almost rests against the rear tailgate, but has its own air conditioning, air duct and ventilation.

Without the third row of seats, the luggage compartment received 630 liters, which is slightly higher than the performance of the past generation of the crossover. When purchasing a 7-seater version, the volume will be 328 liters. There are foam organizers and a standard set of tools under the floor.

If all the seats are folded down, the total volume increases to an impressive 2,002 liters of usable space. The seats can be folded down with the help of a servo drive, which forms a flat surface, 2 m long.

Generation IV specifications

Generation IV power unit

The fourth Hyundai Santa Fi family has a solid list of engines, but the Russian market has only a couple of them. In the role of the base engine, they offer a gasoline atmospheric, 2.4-liter GDI power plant of the Theta-II series. The "engine" has four vertically arranged cylinders, distributed gasoline injection, 16-valve gas distribution mechanism and variable valve timing.

All this makes it possible to develop 188 "horses" and 241 Nm. Such a power unit requires an average of 9.3 liters. for every hundred kilometers in a combined cycle.

They also provided an alternative to it - a 2.2-liter diesel four-cylinder CRDi VGT, which received a turbocharger, accumulator fuel injection, a 16-valve DOHC gas distribution mechanism. As a result, the engine produces 200 horsepower and 440 Nm. Diesel "eats" about 7.5 liters per 100 km.

Other countries have a 2.4-liter "aspirated" GDI, which received direct injection, developing 185 "horses" and 241 Nm, a turbocharged GDI 2.0-liter "four", delivering 240 horsepower and 353 Nm, and a diesel engine that received 186 horsepower and 402 Nm with a volume of 2.0 liters. They all work with both automatic and 6-speed manual transmissions.

Turbocharged engine

Generation IV transmission

The gasoline power plant is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, while the diesel version has an 8-speed gearbox. Regardless of which version will be purchased, the car has an all-wheel drive HTRAC transmission. In the normal position, all torque will be transmitted to the front wheels, but as soon as the wheels begin to slip, up to 50 percent of the force will be transmitted to the rear axle. The electrical clutch is responsible for this "division".

Acceleration to a speed mark of 100 kilometers per hour takes 9.4-10.4 seconds. The maximum speed does not exceed 195-203 kilometers per hour.

Generation IV undercarriage

The fourth version of Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 was based on a seriously modernized "bogie" of the previous generation, where there is a transversely located power unit and the widespread use of high-strength steel in the body structure (57%). The Korean crossover received full independent suspensions, as well as hydraulic shock absorbers and transverse stabilizers.

There are McPherson struts at the front, while the rear has a multi-link architecture. As a separate option, a rear suspension with pneumatic elements can be installed, which helps to keep the ride height at a uniform height regardless of the load.

The electric power steering, installed on the rail itself, helps to control the machine. Brake system Hyundai Santa Fe 4 has disc mechanisms (in front - ventilated) with electronic assistants ABS, EBD and other relevant "gadgets".

Safety Santa Fe IV

The company decided to apply innovative safety solutions for its new crossover. To meet the highest safety standards, the 2018-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe has one of the best-in-class safety packages with solutions uncommon in the industry. An abundance of such elements are included in the Hyundai SmartSense active driver safety technology group.

For example, there is an innovative Rear Occupant Alert function, which has been taught to recognize people from behind and alert the driver when they intend to leave the vehicle.

Innovative rear seat monitoring function

Not without a system that can prevent collisions with side traffic from behind. When the car is moving in reverse with poor visibility, the technology can not only warn the owner about the approach of other cars from the side and rear, but also automatically apply the braking system.

There is a safe exit system that prevents accidents with cars approaching from behind. In other words, the system does not allow the rear doors to be unlocked in case of danger. Engineers have developed an automatic braking system in front of obstacles in front. This technology is able to warn the owner about dangerous situations and when it is necessary it produces braking in an automatic manner.

The FCA system uses a frontal radar and a camera, and also received 3 modes of operation. Initially, the system informs the driver with a visual method and an audible warning. After that, the control of the braking system is transferred to this system and, depending on the difference in the distance to the obstacle, it uses the necessary braking force to avoid an impact or reduce its consequences.

Next is the assistant for keeping the car in the lane. This assistant monitors the position of the car and informs the owner during dangerous maneuvers at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour. Audible and visual warnings are given, and then the crossover begins to return to its previous safe position.

There is a technology to prevent collisions with cars in the blind spot. She uses radars, monitor traffic on the sides behind and if she finds another car, she will display a visual alert on the outside mirrors. The new crossover is equipped with a high level of passive safety. The car has an extremely rigid body structure due to the use of high strength steel.

The body perfectly absorbs impact energy during a collision and has minimal deformation. By using numerous hot-formed elements and larger weld diameters, the specialists reduced the weight of the machine and provided a good level of crash safety. Inside, the Hyundai Santa Fe 4 2019 has 6 airbags, including 2 front, 2 side and 2 curtain airbags for the first and second row of seats.

Santa Fe 4 has 6 airbags

Comparison with competitors

It's too early to talk about the obvious advantages, the car must show itself in operation in order to give the new product a more objective assessment. It is clear that the new Hyundai Santa Fe 4 crossover has received new rivals, since the bar has been raised high, the project is very ambitious.

The Korean car is already actually stepping on the heels of the German and, as well as the "Japanese", in the person, Nissan Rouge and. Moreover, the 4th generation has its own advantages, so some will be inclined to purchase this particular car. If we compare the quality, equipment level and cost, then it is more expensive to maintain a European car, and fuel consumption is higher.

Hello everyone. So, a review of the 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe. Immediately on consumption: Moscow city from 15 to 18, highway 11-13.5, depending on how to heat. I got my tank at the beginning of 2018 on February 5 in Moscow. My brother has the second Lada Vesta, so, in fact, initially the choice was between the new Vesta and the used Santa Fe.

Won Santa Fe. First, because I like him better. Secondly, if you look into the future, I bought a new Vesta for 650 thousand, for the same amount you will not sell it later. In the case of Santa Fe, there is an opportunity to sell even more expensive.

By the way, I gave either 650 or 660 for it, but no more. Thirdly, four-wheel drive, leather, sunroof, xenon. Accordingly, before buying, I read reviews that it is not very susceptible to corrosion.

Impressions

Most importantly, I worried whether I would feed him or not, I read in the reviews that he eats no more than 15 liters. In my case, 15-18 liters per hundred, yes, Moscow is traffic jams. I myself am from Omsk, and so, in Omsk the figure has decreased to 13 liters in the city.

I traveled on it from February to August and dashed off 16,000 km, not sickly, yes. This is in Moscow, then a trip home to Omsk, then to Kazakhstan and back to Omsk. During this time, he never let me down, in fact, at any time of the day or night, he started me up and drove even to the ends of the world.

I am very pleased and proud with this tank. From history on vacation in Kazakhstan. In front of the lake, everyone leaves their cars by the road, then they walk 250 meters to the beach. There is sand near the beach, and closer to the middle there is rubble and sand.

That year, my brother tried to drive an Audi A4 all the way to the beach and sat down specifically. With grief, Mitsubishi Pajero pulled it out in half. It was hard to pull it out, as there is a slope towards the beach, we helped to push it with our hands. This year they did not risk it, but stood up like all normal people by the road.

Then we see the following picture: Kia Sorento (classmate of Santa Fe) of 2013 release, or 14 was stuck in the middle between the lake and the road (250 meters) on sand mixed with rubble, did not fall through and could not go uphill. In general, they pushed out on their hands. Then I thought, if Sorento could not drive here, then the point is for me to meddle. On Sorento, I noticed the inscription is not 4WD, but AWD. And yet I decided to take a chance.

The brother says: "Anyway, you will also climb and have to suffer, pull out." And what was our surprise when my tank easily turned circles there, threw sand and rode calmly. Yes, I was very happy with this test, and that the tank did not disappoint. But why Sorento couldn't - I can't understand.

Then we began to pull out and tow everyone who got stuck. The tank may be rushing, it climbed into the mud on fishing trips, got stuck, and then got out on its own. Of course, this is not an SUV, but all the same four-wheel drive.

I traveled from Moscow to Omsk with pleasure, but long distances - a pleasure. Sometimes, you go along the highway, there is a truck in front, behind it there are 3-4 more cars. They cannot overtake a truck, they get out in turn, overtake them with difficulty, and you calmly do both cars and trucks at the same time on Santa. Of course, everything is in accordance with the traffic rules, and when overtaking, notifying the neighbors in the stream with a signal, without interfering with the oncoming stream.

Driving experience, of course, is also needed. I am not urging you to be fools like me (laughter). Santa Fe accelerates very briskly in the city, and it is enough on the highway. Parking is easy, high, you can see everything, the rear mirrors are large, plus parking sensors, although I don't need it, I just feel the dimensions myself well. On a Gazelle, I calmly park on the mirrors (I brag).

Above I wrote about xenon. Of course, it is not a factory one, it was muddied by one of the previous owners. It shines beautifully. Xenon tumankah and near. The rear seats fold down into a flat floor and there is a lot of space. Somehow he transported the tool in the drawers of a heated towel rail, a toilet bowl, a washing machine and there was still a lot of space left, you could shove another washing machine calmly.

Annoyed by one thing, or rather the door latches. When opening, you have to hold the door, it does not lock in one position. Compared to the Audi, there was no such problem. He opened the door even on the slope, and it did not slam until you closed it yourself. Maybe it was me they just got covered in Santa Fe. I did not study this topic, as there was no time.

I didn't hang out on the forums, since the car did not break down and there were no questions. Gasoline 2.7 automatic 4-speed 4WD complete set. I recommend you, but don't forget to check the intake manifold flaps. Even if you already have a Santafe 2.7, urgently, do not be lazy, do not spare the money, check, disassemble, put the bolts on the thread lock and even better screw up the threads so that they do not twist out at all.

Oh, more about the bundle. The little brother also has a Santa, a cloth interior 2012 car. Noise isolation is not very good, the interior creaks, there is no cruise. I'm fine with these.

Before buying, I first checked for hijackings and deposits, and, of course, I myself, of course, inspected the car beforehand. They drove in for diagnostics. Bottom line: one door was tinted and the master's recommendation was to change the front brake discs. Well, I myself, in principle, saw it. Most importantly, the engine, automatic transmission and body were in good condition.

I only changed oil, filters and pads. I put the pads, I bought them in front of them for 2500. I bought 1300 for the rear ones, some Japanese ones.

The paradox in Omsk: it's time to change the front and xenon side marker bulbs, and so, I hardly found the side bulbs. One small one costs 290 rubles, while a xenon one costs 250 rubles. Now my younger brother owns the car, but this is for now (he had an Audi A4 2 liter 2006, the device is good, but the engine is kapets, then the belt breaks, then the teeth jump. And one more time the brakes just disappeared, Thank God, I I crashed anywhere, I just went crazy, to put it mildly).

Having problems

Now I will tell you about a marketing conspiracy. It consists in selling spare parts, or a new car due to a breakdown of an old one. There are flaps in the intake manifold, there are six of them per cylinder, and each flap is held by two small bolts with a groove. So, over time, these bolts unscrew from vibration and fall into the cylinders, and a very terrible heartbreaking knock appears, and panic, you think everything, the engine is finished. But no. How it all started. We are returning from fishing in the dark. I walked about 130 km / h and, seeing a wave on the road ahead, slowed down, but all the same, the rear part threw up, and immediately there was a strange noise and knock. I thought there was something wrong with the hodovka, I stopped, opened the door, and there was a knock from the side of the engine. I didn't understand what happened. After about 70 km, my brother on Vesta pulled me into the city, although one cable was torn. When he got home, he began to study the Internet, what happened to anyone. And yes, here are the same bolts from the flaps. One person writes that he rolled 40 thousand with such a knock, then decided to repair it, and they found these bolts from him, replaced the piston. Someone, having learned about such a problem, disassembled the intake manifold, saw such a picture that the dampers were unscrewed, and there were no bolts at all. Well, back to our problem. Having disassembled the manifold, two bolts and groivers were found missing. I didn't want to disassemble the heads at all in order to find the bolts. To begin with, we decided to buy a Chinese endoscope for 1,200 rubles, complete with a nozzle, hook and magnet. So, with this small camera they climbed into the cylinders, having previously removed the candles. We found the bolts and the Groiver all broken. They took out a magnet on the camera for a long time, but, thank God, they got everything, everything worked out. Collected everything in place. I screwed these ill-fated bolts onto the thread lock, and spoiled the thread on the reverse side so that they would not twist out at all. After we assembled the engine and no problems: no sound, no knocking - everything is as before. I went to the track, clocked up to 180 - it goes fine, everything is the same as before. This is what I call a marketing conspiracy, what do you think these engineers did? No, I strongly doubt it. This problem can be attributed to the cons. But it is solvable and even, I would say, easily solvable. No bully marks appeared - everything is normal.

Outcome

I sold it to my brother Santa Fe, because I urgently needed money. The main thing is that everyone in our family likes a car. Even the Vestavod rides it to the village through the mud with a contented face. I miss my tank, in the future we are planning to put modern LPG on it (Vesta already has LPG, it pours 1,000 rubles a week and skates). All good roads and good cars.

Hyundai Santa Fe IV generation is a mid-size crossover that has received a new design, a transmission system, a set of electronic assistants. Cars of 2018-2019 underwent a radical restyling procedure, acquiring new outlines of the bumper, radiator grill and the shape of the optics. The comfort cabin with multifunctional system, Krell sound system and 8-inch display is available in four different finishes. The crossover is available in five- and seven-seater seating options. More rear space for passengers, more options when unfolding the trunk, with a push of a button it can be expanded to 2019 liters.

Special attention to safety

The Hyundai Santa Fe crossover has cruise control, lane keep assist and stabilization system. Reversing parking has become more convenient and safer with an automatic obstacle stop system. The coverage radius is 6m longitudinally and 20m laterally, from each side or bumper. The emergency braking system has a similar radius at speeds from 6 km / h (typical for traffic in a traffic jam) to 90 km / h. The premium equipment is equipped with laminated glass not only in the front, but also on the sides.

All-electric drive - more stability when off-road

Magna's friction clutch is a strong innovation in the new crossover: no overheating or shutdowns for this reason. Instead of electrohydraulics - a fully electric drive. At speeds up to 60 km / h, the forced blocking mode works. The driver selects one of the modes: Eco, Comfort, Smart or Sport, in which up to 20% from 35% traction is transferred to the rear axle, respectively.

New generation engines

Two power options - diesel and gasoline, two powers under the hood - one goal, conquering the roads. Under the hood of the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe is a Theta-II 2.4 GDi gasoline engine or a 2.2 liter diesel engine. The six-speed version of the gearbox remained along with the eight-speed version of the automatic gearbox, the car consumption at a speed of 80 to about 110 km / h is very moderate - 8.5 liters per 100 km, with a normal load with a full trunk.

We offer you to compare the contents and prices of configurations, sign up for a test drive at an authorized Hyundai dealer in Moscow.

The Korean crossover Hyundai Santa Fe is already ready to enter the Russian market. Earlier it was reported that the public premiere of the novelty for Russians will be held as part of the international Moscow motor show, which will be held in late August 2018. But with what kind of "stuffing" the cross will enter the market of our country - there was still no information. So, what became known from the latest news about Hyundai Santa Fe, we will talk today.

In particular, it became reliably known that the new Hyundai Santa Fe will go on sale equipped with 4-cylinder engines with a working volume of 2.4 liters. The first engine, the G4KJ-5 with direct injection, is capable of generating 188 horsepower with a torque of 241 Nm. As a transmission, it will be offered a six-speed automatic transmission.

The power output of the second G4KE-5 unit with multipoint injection is 171 hp. (225Nm). For him, in addition to the "automatic" provided also six-speed "mechanics". As fuel for the latter, only the AI-95 is suitable, the former is capable of operating without interruptions on the AI-92.

In addition, the fourth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe engine range will include the 2.2-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 200 hp, which has proven itself in the last generation. If in the last generation an uncontested 6АКПП was provided for it, then when changing generations, other boxes were provided for it. So, in the OTTS, which is registered in the Rosstandart database, it is said that a 2.2-liter diesel engine can work in conjunction with both a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic transmission. By the way, we can also evaluate the latter on the restyled Hyundai Taxon.

Currently, the Korean company Hyundai offers its crossover in our country only in a five-seater version. With the change of generations, Santa Fe has increased the size of the wheelbase by 65 millimeters, so the appearance of "family" modifications with a seven-seater saloon is expected. At least such modifications are stated in the OTTS. What fate awaits Grand Santa Fe in this case is still unknown. Most likely, the model will simply be removed from sales in Russia, and Palisade will become the company's flagship.

Note that in the first six months of this year, dealers have sold 3319 Hyundai Santa Fe. More than half of all sales (52%) were diesel versions. We offer the current cross with a diesel engine for at least 2 million 209 thousand rubles. The basic version with a gasoline engine costs 1 million 964 thousand rubles today.

The presentation of the new hot-hatch i30 N model from the Hyundai brand will take place on July 13

The presentation of the first high-performance car of the auto company Hyundai, developed according to its newest division N, will take place in 6 days, or rather 13 ...
