While most are considered to be practical and safe, the Hyundai Santa Fe stands out with its boxy but futuristic design paired with its overall large and loud presence. And that begs the question of whether the Santa Fe brings something so radical that it scares away old-school Hyundai customers or if it does just enough differently for it to stand out?
The Hyundai Santa Fe price in the UAE starts from AED 130,000 and goes up to AED 149,000.
There are as many as 3 Hyundai Santa Fe variants on offer: 1.6-litre Hybrid trim and 2 2.5-litre petrol automatics. The main difference between the last two is the tune of the engine and a couple of other minor things.
There are as many as 3 Hyundai Santa Fe engine options on offer. For starters, there is the 1.6-litre hybrid automatic engine that has a near 48kWh battery pack along with a 1.6-litre engine. It’s a mileage focused engine that might feel slow to drive but is very fuel efficient.
Next there’s the 2.5-litre petrol automatic that makes a very respectable 277 hp and a humongous 421 Nm. This is a performance oriented engine in which mileage might go for a toss but the driver will have a big smile on their face each time the car is driven.
Finally, the third 2.5-litre engine is also an automatic one but is retuned with respect to the previous one.
Taking care of safety are the wide variety of Hyundai Santa Fe specifications list. There’s a seat belt warning system, EBD, traction control, anti-lock braking system, driver & passenger airbags as well as central locking. The day and night rear view mirror and door ajar warning complete the list of basic safety features.
The Hyundai Santa Fe features list is almost endless. The big TFT infotainment system is obviously touch sensitive and the most important feature on board is obviously the Google Maps navigation system. Bluetooth connectivity is present and so is Android auto along with Apple carplay.
The Hyundai Santa Fe interior has a digital clock and there are a whole bunch of ambient lighting options. The ambient lighting definitely makes the Santa Fe’s interior more classy. That said, if customers want something more loud and flashy, in line with the Santa Fe’s looks, they can opt for those lighting patterns from Hyundai’s broad catalogue. The Hyundai Santa Fe exterior is a bit similar to Hyundai’s global model, the Hyundai Exter. The other overall boxy design, rectangle-ish headlights and DRLs, all add to the car’s appeal. What accentuates the overall look are the massive alloy wheels shod with chunky tires. As for the other bits, there is a moonroof, chrome grille, all LED lighting, roof rail and an integrated antenna.
