Following is an overview of some of the key features of the All New 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe:
Premium design
The design of the fourth-generation Santa Fe connects with Hyundai’s SUV design identity. It displays a modern and elegant appearance complemented by an eye-catching Composite Light design and Hyundai’s signature Cascading Grille, which is the new face of Hyundai SUVs. The exterior design is characterized by a powerful wide stance and an athletic, bold look. Its refined lines reinforce the vehicle’s status at the top of Hyundai’s SUV line-up.
Exterior design
The front introduces the Cascading Grille that is complemented by a Composite Light design comprising LED Daytime Running Lights positioned on top of the LED headlights. The dynamic character of the side is enhanced by a sleek roofline and a bold side character line running from the headlights to the taillights. The rear creates a confident and stable stance with unique tail lights and a striking bumper design.
The exterior dimensions make the Santa Fe appear even more prominent. With a length of 4,770 mm, a width of 1,890 mm and a longer wheelbase of 2,765 mm, the Santa Fe has an even stronger stance on the road and provides more comfort for its passengers.
Interior design
The Santa Fe has a refined and ergonomic interior architecture. The stunning relationship between design and functionality combines premium quality with a roomy horizontal layout and enhanced visibility. The visibility to the rear is improved by the larger rear quarter glass, which is increased by 41 percent compared to the previous generation model.
Drivers and front passengers will enjoy the support of the electric extendable seat cushions offering 10 different positions.
The new Santa Fe increases comfort for passengers in the second- and third-row seats, even for adults. In the second row, legroom is increased by 38 mm and the seat is 18 mm higher. The new one-touch folding seats ease passenger access to third-row seats. Headroom in the third row has also been improved by 22 mm.
Luggage capacity is also increased offering flexibility for everyday needs.
Industry-first safety technologies
Hyundai truly cares about customers’ well-being. To comply with the highest safety standards, the fourth-generation Santa Fe offers a best-in-class safety package and industry-first safety features. All features are part of Hyundai SmartSense™ active safety and driving assistance technologies.
The innovative Rear Occupant Alert monitors the rear seats to detect passengers and alert the driver that there are still passengers in the rear seat when leaving the car.
The Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is also a Hyundai first. When reversing out of areas with low visibility, the system not only warns the driver if vehicles are approaching from the rear side, it also applies the brakes automatically.
The Safety Exit Assist prevents accidents by sensing when vehicles approach from behind and temporarily locking the doors before being opened, so that passengers can exit the car safely.
Variable torque control with HTRAC
The Hyundai in-house-developed HTRAC is based on four-wheel drive technology that variably controls the power of the wheels. The name is a combination of the H from Hyundai and the first part of the word “traction”. The HTRAC variable torque control enables agile handling and better torque application depending on the wheel grip and the speed of vehicle.
In combination with the drive modes, HTRAC improves acceleration, stability and fuel efficiency. The system increases traction on snow, gravel and on regular road surfaces while enhancing cornering performance. The ratio of torque distribution is changed with the drive modes and displayed in the cluster. In sport mode, HTRAC delivers improved acceleration with up to 50 percent torque distributed to the rear wheels. In comfort mode, it offers improved stability with up to 35 percent torque distributed to the rear wheels. In eco mode, HTRAC provides improved fuel efficiency by sending power mainly to the front wheels. In slippery conditions the system automatically distributes power to all four wheels automatically.
Enhanced powertrains with new 8-speed automatic transmission
• Refined 2.4L Engine for the best in class fuel efficiency
• Powerful 3.5L Engine for the ultimate performance
Customers can choose between three systems:
• The optional eight-inch infotainment system integrates all navigation, media and connectivity features, supporting both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. To enhance vehicle operation the system includes a rear-view camera with dynamic guidelines and trailer view, plus optional 360 degree around view cameras.
• The Display Audio system allows passengers to switch their smartphone’s content onto the system’s 7-inch display via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Display Audio system also features an integrated rear view camera with dynamic guidelines and trailer view, plus optional 360 degree around view cameras.
• The Standard Audio system with a 5-inch monochrome TFT screen featuring radio, Bluetooth connectivity, AUX-in and USB connection. Additionally, there is a new 7–inch TFT color display information screen located in the center of the instrument cluster between the two dials.
Ride and handling
The development strategy for the new Santa Fe’s suspension and steering was to improve responsiveness and vehicle stability while also enhancing comfort and overall quietness.
The suspension delivers a smoother ride feeling by reducing the impact and vibration when driving on rough roads. The suspension has been stiffened and placed vertically to give longer travel length for more ride comfort.
External vertical shock absorbers optimize responsiveness and stability while improving noise, vibration and harshness levels during driving. Road noise is reduced by reinforcing the floor panel and incorporating more materials in the carpet.
The optional self-load-leveling suspension controls the continuous ride height regardless of the vehicle load through a self-contained damping and levelling control.
Connected and caring
The all-new Santa Fe offers customers advanced connectivity features to enhance seamless integration of the customer’s smartphone, making operation more intuitive and safe while driving.
Full head-up display with class-leading luminance
For the first time in a Hyundai SUV, the Santa Fe features a full head-up display (HUD) that projects relevant driving information onto the windshield. This allows for faster recognition of information while keeping the driver’s attention on the road ahead.
With a projected image size of eight inches at a two-meter distance and class-leading luminance of more than 10,000 candela per square meter, the new HUD guarantees the best visibility in different lighting conditions. The HUD can be adjusted in both angle and height to ensure optimum visibility for individual needs. The HUD supports driving safety by displaying information such as speed, navigation commands and fuel level as well as alerts from active safety and driving assistance features.
Wireless inductive charging
To ensure that occupants’ phones are always charged, the Santa Fe also provides a wireless inductive charging pad (Qi standard) for mobile phones. The phone’s charging status is visualized with a small indicator lamp above. To ensure the phone will not be forgotten inside the car, the central display in the instrument cluster will show a reminder when switching off the car. The Santa Fe also comes standard with a USB port and an AUX jack.
Motorworld invites everyone to come see, touch, and experience of the all New 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe at the showroom located on Welfare Road in Colebay, at your convenience. There are a series of special promotions planned to introduce this outstanding model to the community of St. Martin, including the “Rumer Summer” Test Drive event, which will be held at Motorworld on Saturday, July 14 from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
