A few days ago, Hyundai Motor officially released the official image of the new generation of SANTA FE (the domestic counterpart is Shengda). The new car adopts the latest modern design language, the overall shape is tougher, and the interior is replaced with an integrated dual screen. With the release of overseas models, Beijing Hyundai Shengda will also change its model, which is expected to be unveiled within this year.
Previously, Beijing Hyundai stated that it will apply 48V mild hybrid and full hybrid to its cars and SUVs. The overseas version of the new Shengda will provide a plug-in hybrid version. It is expected that Beijing Hyundai Shengda will also provide a plug-in hybrid version after the facelift.
The new generation of SANTA FE adopts the latest modern design language, and its overall shape is more hard-core SUV, and there are no existing models. The front face adopts through-type daytime running lights, and with H-shaped headlights, the overall shape is more sci-fi. The side lines of the car are tough, the front and rear wheel eyebrows are slightly raised, and it is equipped with a currently popular suspended roof design. The rear of the car adopts a vertical tail box shape, and the H-shaped taillights echo the headlights.
The interior of the new generation of SANTA FE has also been redesigned, equipped with a penetrating large screen, and some physical buttons are reserved under the air outlet of the air conditioner. Judging from the official picture, the rear seats are close to flat when folded down, which can expand more usage scenarios.
The new generation of SANTA FE is expected to provide a 1.6T plug-in hybrid power system, 2.5L naturally aspirated and 2.5T turbocharged engine, the transmission system is matched with a 6-speed/8-speed automatic manual gearbox, and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system. It is expected that the domestic Shengda will continue to be equipped with 2.0T+8AT powertrain after the update, and will provide a hybrid version.
