New Hyundai Santa Fe: when diesel is better than gasoline. New Hyundai Santa Fe - fourth generation of recognition When will the new Santa Fe be released

The Santa Fe Sport model, known in Europe, is presented in Russia simply as the Hyundai Santa Fe, but this does not make the popularity of the crossover, which has been traveling on our roads for about 15 years, any less. This model is the first SUV created in the workshops of Hyundai Motors, and therefore the developers have a special relationship with it. After the previous restyling in 2013, the company paid a lot of attention to technical innovations that they could apply to their first-born.

No wonder that Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 model series, having absorbed all possible engineering innovations, appeared in an updated version for the judgment of car enthusiasts. Let's see what the mid-size crossover will please its owners after restyling.

Fresh exterior

First of all, the redesign affected the dimensions of the car and its body elements. The car lost 50 kg due to the greater presence of aluminum components. In general, the body structure has become stronger, which has a positive effect on safety. Now the front part of the crossover can withstand impact at a speed of 64 km/h when colliding with a stationary obstacle. Also, in the event of an accident, due to the reinforcement of the body, its elements do not penetrate into the cabin and cannot cause serious injuries to passengers.

In addition, the body dimensions have increased slightly. Korean length off-road flagship is 4.69 m;

• width – 1.88 m;
• height – 1.68 m;
• ground clearance - 0.185 m;
• wheelbase - 2.7 m.

Externally, the body has become more prominent and expressive thanks to a greater number of stampings. The modern fashionable 6-gon radiator grille looks more predatory; its elements have become larger. Under the corporate emblem - the letter H - a video camera is installed on the front end. There is also a camera on the back of the body; the presence of external cameras in the new Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 greatly improves the driver’s all-round visibility.

The front and rear optics, turn signal repeaters and daytime running lights have become larger running lights received LED elements. Affected by updates and fog lights. Chrome wheels are 17 inches, optionally available in 19 inches.

External differences between the Hyundai Santa Fe and Grand Santa Fe models

Interior decoration

At first glance, the interior of the mid-size crossover has not received any visible changes, although they are present. The quality of finishing materials has improved significantly, decorative stitches have appeared, more expensive versions Finishing with wooden elements and genuine leather is possible.

Thanks to the increased dimensions, the interior has become more spacious. The cabin is designed for 5 people, both front and rear passengers can comfortably accommodate. The trunk is also pleasing: it is roomy and spacious. Volume luggage compartment varies between 585 - 1680 cc. l.

Among the many pleasant innovations that have appeared in the salon are:

• the ability for the driver to change the power of the power steering himself. This will be especially convenient for car ladies who have to put in more effort when driving.
• Ergonomic chairs with good lateral support and multi-level adjustment can remember position settings. Passengers will not have to reconfigure their seats; they just need to press a certain button.

In the 2018 version of the Hyundai Santa Fe, another new feature is not always noticeable in the interior photos presented - an alternative to window tinting. Now, to enhance privacy or protect from bright sunlight, crossover passengers can use special retractable protective curtains. Their appearance is caused by pressing a button located on the armrest of the side door. The curtain moves out of the door parallel side glass and also cleans up.

Multifunctional electronic systems

To improve safety, reliability and comfort when operating the updated flagship, the developers tried to fill the car with a variety of technical assistants. Not all of them are included basic equipment, but still remain accessible to those interested.

For driver convenience, the engine is started with a start button. The functions of navigation, infotainment systems, cruise and climate control are duplicated by buttons on the steering wheel, dashboard and center console.

To configure multimedia functions, improved visibility and convenient parking, there is a 5 (8)’’ touchscreen display. Also present:

• Digital HD radio and CD;
• 2 zone climate control with air ionizer;
• Headlights with cornering lights and high beam assistant;
• On-board computer;
• Uphill/downhill driving mode;
• Anti-lock brakes with brake force distribution;
• Stabilization system.

Besides, in top trim levels the car is equipped with:

• Driver's mirror with blind spot detection;
• Lane assistant;
• 360-degree video surveillance system.

Engines and technical specifications

The updated crossover will be available on the Russian market in an all-wheel drive version. Currently available with diesel engine and front-wheel drive, which most likely will not be present on the updated models.

Also, our roads will be conquered by engines familiar from previous modifications of this car. It should be noted that for the markets of the Old and New Worlds, other power units, including diesel. But for various reasons they are not in demand in our market.

The engines of the updated version have 4 cylinders, in-line arrangement and the following parameters:

WITH diesel engine possible configurations: comfort, speaker, hi-tech and 6-level automatic transmission.

Gasoline engines are installed on the following configurations: start, comfort, speaker, hi-tech. All of these trim levels also come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. In addition, the starting configuration is possible with a 6-level mechanical transmission.

It is clear that the price for variants of the new 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe model depends, of course, on the level of equipment. It is expected that for Russia the price range for the updated SUV will be 1.7 – 2.1 million rubles. According to forecasts, the car will go on sale in dealerships closer to mid-2018.

The “refreshed” Santa Fe first came to Russia in 2015; at the beginning of autumn its premieres were celebrated in Europe, and very soon here. What is actually interesting about the new model we have to find out further, but from the pictures it is already clear that the car has hardly been updated externally, not to mention technical part. We have to figure out the configurations, what the cost is, is it possible to order options, more on all this later.

Design

Appearance, of course, the first question many were concerned about was what about the exterior, what had changed in it. Our answer will be short, the transformation affected only a few elements of the body, without a deep reworking of the style itself, which, in general, is not bad enough, considering appearance cars.

The front end flaunts the same optics, bright and shabby foglights, planted in the same shackles. The only thing they did was add a couple of daytime lights, which changed the image a little. But, in general, everything is still the same as the bumper, with its wavy arches. I’m pleased with the body kit, I’m glad that it stretches along the entire perimeter and now you don’t have to be afraid when climbing off-road.

The side part is harmoniously tailored, unlike its predecessor, only the corners of the rear wings and the shape of the glazing have changed. Otherwise, it is the same powerful silhouette with a huge stern and a raised bumper.

From the rear, you pay attention to the trunk lid, another spoiler and the size of the glass; the shape of the optics has received a slight angularity, which, in principle, looks good. The bumper has a large protective layer of plastic, which is good news; off-road conditions and snow drifts are not scary.

Colors

The color palette is still presented in seven colors, among which the most common are red, blue, black, white, gray, and yellow.

Salon

Globally, the interior was redesigned during the transition from the second generation, now during the regular and planned restyling, almost nothing has changed here. Even if we take the same plastics and finishing materials in general, there is nothing new, the only thing is that maybe the quality has been improved somewhere.

The instrument panel is standard, with huge “wells” and tiny on-board computer, placed between them. As an option, they will be able to offer a new virtual panel, however, without connection with the main monitor. Steering Due to the new steering wheel, it has not changed, the same classic triangular steering wheel, with rich adjustment.

The center console is familiar, with a deep-set screen and protruding keys underneath that serve not only to control multimedia, navigation and options in general, but also to control air conditioning system. Transition to a tunnel with X-ray filling, small pockets and some adjustments for the gearbox. Next comes a small armrest.

The seats are successful, apparently, they took into account the shortcomings of previous generations and made a bias in favor of comfort specifically for rear passengers. We can say that the experience used was from Audi in the mid-2000s. There is significant lateral support even at the rear, not to mention the overall seating position. By the way, for the average rider the problem has been solved, the legs no longer rest against the tunnel, a small depression has been made.

Specifications

The technical characteristics differ from its predecessor by the only added assistance system. emergency braking. Otherwise, the suspension is completely familiar, namely completely independent MacPherson-based struts and levers and “lots of levers.” Although, the manufacturer claims in its propaganda videos that a lot has changed. The so-called improved chassis was updated only in percentage, on the use of various types of alloys.

The braking system, as already mentioned, has acquired one more assistant in addition to ABS, ESP, EBD, AKS, etc. For steering, in addition to the classic electric power steering, they will offer a complex for selecting the optimal character of movement with variable operating modes.

Review

The South Korean manufacturer presented the new fourth generation Hyundai Santa Fe 2019. Despite the fact that the world premiere was planned for March 2019, the excitement among prospective buyers began long before the debut appearance of the crossover.

In advance of the public demonstration of the crossover, Korean dealers accepted more than 14 thousand applications for the purchase of “Santa”. What’s surprising is that car enthusiasts didn’t even see the future new product at that time.

Why is Hyundai Santa Fe so popular?

Exterior

The main updates include the presence of designer double-decker headlights and a wide radiator grille. The wheel arches have also changed, becoming even more massive. The new Hyundai Santa Fe 2019 has:

• unique rear-view mirrors mounted on decorative legs;
• “minivan” triangles located on the front doors in the corners of the windows.

In addition, the window sill line rose higher, which made the crossover silhouette even more stylish and original. But such innovations had virtually no effect on the aerodynamic drag coefficient (if in Santa Fe of previous generations it was 0.34 units, then in the presented model it is 0.337 units).

The changes also affected the dimensions of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2019:

• the car has become 70 mm longer (its length is 477 cm);
• the wheelbase has been stretched by 65 mm and is 2765 mm;
• the car became wider by 1 cm (189 cm), but the height remained the same (168 cm).

The rigidity of the new crossover body has also improved significantly (by 15.4%). The rate of hot stamping of the structure also increased 2.5 times, which made the car even more reliable and durable. This is what allowed us to increase the level passive safety, significantly reduce noise and vibration while driving.

Interior

In Hyundai Santa Fe, in unison with the exterior, the interior has also been transformed. Many refined horizontal lines have appeared, as well as tablet-based free-standing media systems. The developers also increased the interior volume of the cabin, as well as the dimensions of the car - it became more spacious and free.

The mechanism of the second row of seats has been improved - now they are assembled in one motion. Upon purchase, it became possible to order a version of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2019 with a third row of seats. The trunk has become much more spacious: the volume has increased to 625 liters. in a five-seater version and up to 130 hp. at the seven-seater.

A seven-inch display was installed in the center of the dashboard, which displays data from the trip computer and speedometer. The following functions have become available:

• voice control (the system was developed together with the Korean company Kakao);
• "Apple CarPlay";
• remote control of certain tasks directly from mobile phone(for these purposes, you need to install a special application on your smartphone). You can start the engine, check the fuel level, or unlock the doors.

The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe has:

• wireless charging system for smartphone;
• instrument display projector (displayed on the windshield);
• cameras allowing for all-round visibility;
• Krell audio system.

The appearance of the interior has also changed significantly. The seats have acquired a designer shape, with many curving and smooth lines appearing.

Technical stuffing

Manufacturers of Hyundai Santa Fe did not completely abandon the range of engines of previous generations of cars. All previous engine types moved to the fourth version of Hyundai. Buyers can purchase a car:

• with a 2-liter petrol turbo-four (T-GDi) and a power of 235 Horse power;
• with a diesel engine R2.0 with a power of 186 horsepower;
• with an R2.2 diesel engine with 202 horsepower.

The transmission in the new crossover body has been completely updated:

• a version with a unique system has appeared all-wheel drive HTRAC;
• It is possible to purchase a modification with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2019 has permanent front-wheel drive, but now the rear wheel clutch is completely electric. An electric power steering was installed on the rack and pinion mechanism, which is also a new product.

U updated crossover fully installed automatic systems braking. Additionally, the car is equipped with automatic headlight switching (from high to low beam). The fourth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe 2019 was equipped with the world’s first reminder system for “forgotten” rear passengers when leaving the car.

Experts are confident that the new Hyundai body Santa Fe 2019 has become even safer and more reliable than its predecessor.

Hyundai Santa Fe is a front- or all-wheel drive five-door mid-size SUV that combines an expressive appearance, a spacious and functional interior, and Hi-tech... It is addressed primarily to family people (with one or more children) who value design, practicality, high level comfort and safety and value for money...

The fourth generation crossover celebrated its world premiere on February 22, 2018, at a special event in the city of Goyang (located north of Seoul), but its “full-scale debut” took place in early March at the international auto show in Geneva.

After the next “reincarnation” the five-door car experienced global changes: it completely changed its image (both externally and internally), grew slightly in size, perched on a seriously modernized “cart” and received a huge number of modern “bells and whistles”.

The exterior of the “fourth” Hyundai Santa Fe is drawn in accordance with the current style of the South Korean brand - the SUV looks attractive, modern, elegant and moderately solid.

Well, the most impressive (and at the same time aggressive) appearance of the car is shown from the front - two-story optics with LED “filling”, a wide radiator grille of a complex shape and a massive bumper.

Despite its impressive dimensions, in profile the five-door is not perceived as heavy, but on the contrary, it can boast of balanced and quite dynamic proportions - “muscular” wheel arches, relief “folds” on the sidewalls, a smoothly rising window sill line and rear-view mirrors mounted on legs.

The “Korean” is also good from the stern - elegant LED lights, “closed” with each other by a chrome strip and a neat bumper with a protective plastic “metal” lining and dual exhaust pipes.

The fourth generation Santa Fe is a mid-size SUV with the corresponding dimensions: 4770 mm in length, 1680 mm in height and 1890 mm in width. Interval between wheelsets fits the car at 2765 mm, and its ground clearance does not exceed 185 mm.

In the “stowed” state, the all-terrain vehicle weighs from 1720 to 1935 kg (depending on the version).

The interior of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2019 model year is made in unison with the exterior, and the main emphasis is on a separate “tablet” of the infotainment center, under which a stylish air conditioning unit and control keys for secondary functions are concentrated on the center console.

Behind the three-spoke multi-steering wheel there can be either a laconic and easy-to-read “instrument” with analogue dials and a small “window” for the on-board computer, or a “smart” instrument cluster with a 7-inch screen in the center.

Inside the crossover, only high-quality materials are used - pleasant plastics, genuine leather, metal inserts and others.

By default, the fourth generation Santa Fe interior has a five-seater layout, but for an additional fee two flat seats can be installed in the trunk that can accommodate short people.

The front passengers are provided with comfortable seats with optimally developed sidewalls, wide adjustment intervals and all the “benefits of civilization”. The middle row is three-seater, but only two people will be most comfortable here (and all because of the high floor tunnel and the shorter sofa cushion in the center).

With a seven-seat layout, the car’s cargo compartment can only “absorb” a few bags – its volume is only 130 liters. Without the third row, the volume of the “hold” increases to 625 liters, and with the second row folded – to an impressive 2019 liters (when loading things to the ceiling). Spare wheel in a five-door car it is fixed on the street, under the bottom.

A solid line-up is offered for the fourth incarnation of the Hyundai Santa Fe power plants, but on Russian market it is equipped with only two of them:

• The starting option is a gasoline “aspirated” GDI Theta-II series with a displacement of 2.4 liters with four vertically arranged cylinders, distributed injection fuel, 16-valve timing and variable valve timing, which generates 188 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 241 Nm of peak potential at 4000 rpm.
• An alternative to it is a 2.2-liter CRDi VGT diesel four with a turbocharger, battery fuel injection and a 16-valve DOHC timing belt, which produces 200 hp. at 3800 rpm and 440 Nm of rotating thrust at 1750-2750 rpm.

The gasoline unit is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the diesel unit is mated to an 8-speed gearbox.

Regardless of the version, the car relies on the HTRAC all-wheel drive transmission - by default, the crossover has drive on the front axle, however, when starting or slipping the wheels, up to 50% of the power can be directed to rear wheels via an electrical coupling.

The five-door achieves its first “hundred” in 9.4-10.4 seconds, and its maximum speed is 195-203 km/h.

Gasoline modifications of the “Korean” consume on average 9.3 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers in combined mode, and diesel modifications – 7.5 liters.

In other countries, this mid-size SUV is also available with a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated GDI engine with direct injection, producing 185 hp. and 241 Nm of torque, a 2.0-liter GDI turbo-four with 240 hp in its arsenal. and 353 Nm, as well as a 2.0-liter diesel engine producing 186 hp. and 402 Nm. They are combined not only with automatic transmissions, but also with a 6-speed manual transmission.

The fourth generation Hyundai Santa Fe is based on a seriously modernized “trolley” of its predecessor with a transversely mounted engine and the widest use of high-strength steel grades in the body structure (they account for 57%).

The car is fully equipped independent suspensions with hydraulic shock absorbers and transverse stabilizers: front – McPherson struts, rear – multi-link architecture. Available as an option for the five-door rear suspension on pneumatic elements, helping to maintain ground clearance at the same level, regardless of the degree of load.

This “Korean” is equipped with electric power steering mounted directly on the rack. All five-door wheels are equipped disc brakes(ventilated at the front) with ABS, EBD and other modern features.

In the Russian market, the “fourth” Hyundai Santa Fe in 2018 is offered in four trim levels to choose from – “Family”, “Lifestyle”, “Premier” and “High-Tech”.

An all-terrain vehicle in its basic version can be purchased at a price starting from 1,999,000 rubles - this is what you will have to pay for the version with a 188-horsepower gasoline engine. Standardly, the car has: six airbags, 17-inch alloy wheels, ABS, EBD, ESC, dual-zone climate control, heated steering wheel and front seats, an audio system with a 5.0-inch monochrome display and six speakers, cruise control, rear parking sensors and some other equipment.

The crossover in the “Lifestyle” and “Premier” trim levels costs from 2,159,000 and 2,329,000 rubles, respectively (the surcharge for a turbodiesel in both cases is 170,000 rubles), and the “top” version (available exclusively with a 200-horsepower engine) will cost amount from 2,699,000 rubles.

Most expensive car“flaunts”: LED optics, 19-inch wheels, leather trim, a media center with an 8-inch screen, all-round cameras, a digital instrument cluster, a navigator, a car parking system, a Krell audio system with 10 speakers, electric front seats and tailgate and a huge number of other modern “chips”.
