Next Generation Hyundai Santa-Fe Hits Indian Shores

[350Z]

Hyundai Santa-Fe is the only car in Hyundai India’s lineup which is pending a ‘fluidic’ treatment (Save for decade old Santro and Accent). This gap is soon to be bridged when the company will bring quite awaited next generation Santa-Fe in India. Not only it will offer overhauled design and a better space management due to revised dimensions but also a whole lot of new features which include third-row seat option as well as captain seats on six seat version. These spyshots by MotorVikatan indicate the launch isn't far enough.

I think they could have flared the wheel arches a bit more, to make it a bit more butch, but nevertheless

Some sad news for Hyundai Santa Fe fans.

According to Autocar India Editor Hormazd Sorabjee, The Santa Fe launch has been postponed to 2014. Localization is the reason for Delay. Hyundai doesn't want to overprice it and be more in the range of Fortuner.

Re: Next Generation Hyundai Santa-Fe To Hit Indian Shores

any update on the Compact SUV (sub-4m) and the 7-8 seater MPV (probably based on Hexaspace), which Hyundai had announced in late Mar-13 ?

Hexa space looks perfect vehicle to kick Maruti where it would hurt most- Ertiga.

New Hyundai Santa Fe caught testing in India

Hyundai is preparing to introduce the new Santa Fe in India in the coming months, and the Korean manufacturer has already begun testing this third-generation of Santa Fe. The second-generation of Santa Fe is currently on sale, and is available in manual and automatic iterations

The new-generation Santa Fe gets Hyundai Fluidic Design and the images of this vehicle were captured by one of our avid reader Jayanth Nathan. The vehicle has been doing test rounds in South India, close to the company’s Chennai plant. The new Santa Fe that featured last year at the New York Motor Show, was due to be launched in India this year as it has already made its entry into several markets.

The new Santa Fe is larger in dimensions when compared to the soon-to-be-outgoing model— it is 30mm longer, 45mm lower and 5mm wider. The vehicle will be powered by the same 2.2-litre CRDi diesel engine that thumps 422Nm of torque to produce 194bhp of maximum power. This engine will be available with six-speed manual and automatic transmission, powering the front or all the wheels. It will be assembled in the company’s Chennai plant and it should cost between Rs 22-26lakhs.

The new Santa Fe is likely to be a five-seater, as that’s how the third-generation has been. We believe Hyundai will be working out its way to get the seven-seater Grand Santa Fe to India. The previous-generation was a seven-seater, hence people will want to have a seven-seater than a five.

The features on the Santa Fe are as follows:

- Hill Assist

- ESP

- 18/19-inch alloy wheels

- Touchscreen infotainment system

- Satellite navigation

- Xenon headlamps

- Day-time running LED lamps

- Multiple airbags

- Keyless entry and push start

- Reverse parking camera

- Tyre pressure monitor

The Fluidic design has won hearts of several and Hyundai now has now of the best selling sedans even in the D segment, with the Elantra. The Verna too has been a runaway success from the word Go! Hyundai got some good numbers from the previous Santa Fe and we are expecting them to further build on this. Hyundai might not be able to match the number of Fortuner and Rexton initially, but who knows the Korean company could even has a strategy for that.

Source: India bound 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe being probed for drive shaft failure in the United States - CarWale News

The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe has been under the radar of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the USA after receiving a couple of complaints from owners about broken drive shaft on vehicles that have been driven less than 8,000km.
The preliminary investigation has begun and at this moment it is unclear if the five-seater, the seven-seater model or both have been affected. Hyundai USA has released a statement saying that necessary action will be taken after gathering the relevant information and that no recalls will be issued till then.
The lone SUV from Hyundai in India is imported as CBUs (Completely Built Units) and has been available in India from October 2010. India currently does not get the 2013 model of the Santa Fe though the car has been spotted testing on multiple occasions outside Chennai over the last few months and is likely to debut by the end of the year.
If the problem with the drive shaft does exist, then it is likely that the to-be launched models for the Indian markets will also be affected. Hyundai may delay the launch of the 2013 model in India to fix the issue.
