Updated Grand Santa Fe will hit the market in September.
Great car good only because it is big. What more could you want?
But life requires updates, and so four years after the premiere of the Grand Santa Fe has undergone small restyling.
If the eyes are the mirror of the human soul, the lights, the reflection of automotive fact. Now the Grand led headlights and daytime running lights — it is now most likely to get long wheelbase version. In the rear lights also appeared LEDs, and the “skirt” — the two holes on the edges for the exit of the exhaust pipes. Also changed the front bumper, so the length of the car was reduced to a meager 10 mm. That’s all the external differences from its predecessor.
Inside, the changes are even less: a large touchscreen in the center of the front panel and retouched instruments.
More importantly, Grand Santa Fe has significantly gained in terms of active safety. From now on, its electronic filling system includes automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, track layout and, finally, the smart cruise control. Adaptive headlights adjust the light beam depending on the angle of rotation of the wheels and switch the high beam to the middle at the junction with vstrechnoy in the dark. In cramped conditions help camera circular review and automatic parallel Parking.
At Grand Santa Fe other virtues. For example, you can go a long way seven. Increased by 205 mm compared with the standard machine length (the wheelbase stretched to 100 mm) did not turn the car into a van, but you can go. And the trunk is bigger than in the basic machine (+49 l). There’s an outlet To 220 V for domestic use. And the rear door opens automatically at the approach of the host.
The petrol 3.0-liter V6 engine (249 HP) from the Genesis sedan — that’s the main news! It replaced the previous V6 engine 3.3 — not inferior to him in traction‑speed characteristics. Sorry to ride on a petrol car failed.
Okay! Diesel is the best option for heavy, large car designed for long trips. Experienced turbo diesel displacement 2.2 l due to the other settings now develops 200 HP (+3 HP). It is noticeably more economical than the petrol motor: the city requires 10.1 litres per hundred vs. 14.1 l in V6. But a loss in the spurt to 100 km/h in a meager — some 0.7 seconds.
Updated Grand Santa Fe will hit the market in September. Prices are not fixed, but, as explained in representation of the company, it is necessary to proceed from the fact that the Grand is on average 15% more expensive than the regular Santa Fe.
