Hyundai will launch the all-new Santa Fe SUV on February 6. Developed on an entirely new platform, this next-generation car is larger than the car it will replace – it is 40mm longer and 5mm wider, although the roofline is 45mm lower and it retains the same 2,700mm wheelbase. The new Santa Fe will also carry over Hyundai's powerful and refined 2.2-litre VGT (variable-geometry turbo) diesel engine from the current model.
The power and torque figures remain unchanged at 194bhp and 44.45kgm respectively, but the engine has received minor upgrades in the form of third-generation common-rail diesel technology with Piezo injectors for better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Buyers will get to choose between a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic transmission, while the on-demand four-wheel-drive system will be standard.
