Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[yuichi]

went to hyundai pampanga and testdrove the CRDI yesterday at NLEX. the interior looks good to me(black) and the power is just amazing, for a diesel. di ko namamalayan 140kph na ko. i think nasagad ko s 185kph. wow talaga!

does anyone here got the "gun metal color"? pede makipost ng pic?

The last time i checked

GAS 4x4 2.7 V6 - 1,588,000
CRDI A/T 2.2 - 1,528,000

[yuichi]

horsepower syo yan? how come chrome yata yung frontgrill niya? gas variant din yan no? any more pics? hehe!tnx anyway!

[Horsepower]

Chrome po talaga ang front grille ng lahat ng 2007 SantaFe.

And no, yan yung V6 variant na tinest namin. All these come with leather seats as a standard and lumbar support for the driver.

We later chose the CRDi Turbo because gusto ng parents ni GF diesel vehicles only. Ti-Blue color posted a few pages back. :D

CRDi VGT proved to be an excellent choice because of the raw power and economy. Imagine sprinting from 0 to 140-160kph and not actually notice it. hehehehe. With 8-10kM/L (with a possibility of 17km/l as proved by an New Zealander, same engine, same tiptronic tranny), i think it's a good deal.

Me, I'm waiting for the CRDi 4x4. Hopefully, yung Sequential Bi-Turbo version na. hehe

Yan din ang gusto ko pampasyal. Hirap minsan pag namamasyal kami sa prubinsya at medyo maputik o malubak, kawawa ang kotse ko pag nababahora. Sana nga ilabas next year yang 4wd na crdi.

*Yuichi: about the CRDi VGT 4x4, not sure if they will. It really puzzles me why they don't sell the 4x4 CRDi here and the sunroof option.

BMW is currently using the Sequential Bi-Turbo after coming from VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo). With this, i expect Hyundai to use SBT in their superb CRDi Engines on next release.

WHAT AUTO EXPRESS SAY ABOUT THE NEW SANTA FE

Wednesday 21st June 2006




If you were to draw up a list of countries renowned for building world beating cars, its safe to assume Korea wouldn't feature very strongly. However, don't bet on that being the case for too much longer. Hyundai has made significant progress over the last few years thanks to its industry-leading five-year warranty and increasingly competitive car range.

And now it's produced a car that will really put it on the global map. The original Santa Fe SUV may not have troubled the class-leaders, but the second generation version is another kettle of fish altogether. The fact it's the only contender in the class to feature seven seats gives it an immediate head start - especially since they're so easy to use.

But that alone isn't enough to earn it victory over some long established opposition in this hard fought sector, so it's just as well the Santa Fe also boasts smooth styling, easy-going road manners and a gigantic, highly practical and tastefully designed cabin.

And the good news doesn't stop there, either. The pick of the engine range is the brand new 2.2-litre Variable Geometry Turbocharger diesel. It's a revelation - every bit as smooth, silent and vibration-free as Honda's i-CTDi unit, it gives the Santa Fe effortless mid-range urge.

No doubt about it, if you're in the market for a family-friendly SUV, there's now no better option than the Hyundai Santa Fe. Not only does it show rivals such as the Honda CR-V and Nissan X-Trail a clean pair of heels, but the forthcoming Land Rover Freelander will have its work cut out, too. Hyundai has pulled out all the stops with the Santa Fe, and as a result Korea has a class-leader it can be proud of.

when will they release a 4x4 CRDi variant? :rant:

[Horsepower]

I don't know but i'm thinking that if a significant number of orders surge in, they might be forced to bring it here.

hopefully they bring one with all the bells and whistles. hehehe.

*Horsepower
Thank's for the info bro!

[oldblue]

with the 4x2 CRDi lang, hirap na sila i-meet ang demands. what more with the 4x4 CRDi?
hindi pa kasi i-volume ang pag-stock eh.

[swimstroke]

Kung P 1,528,000 ang 4x2 na CRDi, mga magkano kaya papatak ang 4x4? :D

[slamtaz]

:rant: three more years... and diesel vehicles will hopefully flood US streets...

Congrats yuichi. Good choice. Ako rin pauwi in 2 weeks time. Masasakyan ko na rin Santa Fe ko.

Why don't we start one? Ilan na ba ang tsikoteer na may Santa Fe?
