Hyundai Motor India Limited, launched its SUV - Santa Fe today  at New Delhi. The Santa Fe is powered by the 2.2L CRDi engine with a max power of 194 bhp at 4000rpm and max torque of 42.9 kgm at1800-2500rpm.

The Santa Fe looks big from the side and hints at the space inside. The shoulder line and rear overhang emphasises its 4660mm length and you can see that the Santa Fe feels a class bigger than other soft-roaders. The rounded styling theme continues down the side and to the rear as well. The rear glass section also sports a very rounded look and the way the rear lights jut out of the body work is a nice stylistic detail.The Santa Fe is very easy on the eyes and overall, you definitely won’t be disappointed with its looks.

The engine is the Santa Fe’s biggest surprise and the punch delivered by the 2.2-litre CRDi motor is truly astounding. Hyundai offers this motor in three states of tune, from 150bhp all the way to 194bhp on the top-of-the-line R-engine. Incredibly, it’s the latter that Hyundai is bringing and what we experienced.

The Santa Fe is available in both 2WD and 4WD options. In India Santa Fe will be imported as CBU (Completely Built Units) from South Korea.The prices for the 2WD variant is 20.95 Lakh and for the 4WD variant is 22.95 Lakh ex-showroom New Delhi
