This is because of the poor quality of diesel we have here!

Good work by Hyundai. At least they make sure their diesels will work here first before even attempting to sell it unlike the # 1 car seller here... By the way even if the ones we get are toned down version rest assured its still much more powerful than comparable engines by rivals! GO CRDi, GO HYUNDAI!
hate to nitpick pero...
actually its not 7PS, just 4PS lang.... ang deficit nya kung ganun.
(based on Hyundai UK specs) its 145kW and or 194BHP (197PS) sya....

and yung Comparison naman sa UK ng new updated SUV's...

ang conclusion ng 4car test ay
1. Honda CRV
2. Hyundai Santa Fe (with the R2.2)
3. Toyota RAV4
4. Puegeot 4007 (based on Mitsu)...

kung ako (and 80% of all the other buyer's) can forgive Hyundai Santa Fe's Handling (due to its massive weight of 1.9Tons) kasi it has over whelming torque and power naman. hahaha.

so yung R2.0 kaya fm. 182PS minus X ?
