[renzo_d10]

As gas prices reach record highs, Hyundai plans to bring more fuel efficient cars and SUVs to American market. According to John Krafcik, vice president of product plannig for Hyundai Motor America, the company is focusing on fuel-efficient cars and also plans to add new engines with improved fuel efficency to their models.


Hyundai will be adding its second generation Theta engine to the Santa Fe crossover, when it receives a facelift in 2010. The same four-cylinder engine is already avaliable in the 2009 Sonata sedan and recent reviews has proven the engine to deliever plenty of power and a class leading fuel efficency numbers. The 2.4L Theta engine in Sonata is rated at 22MPG city driving, and 32MPG when highway driving.


As of now, Hyundai’s four-cylinder powerplants were imported from South Korea, but starting from next month, all of the four-bangers will be coming from Hyundai’s new engine plant in Alabama.
In addition to the new engine, the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe will also get a six-speed automatic transmission.


For 2010, Hyundai also plans to unveil a fully redesigned Tucson SUV. Currently, the Tucson comes avaliable with a 2.7L V6 engine, but when the new model debuts, the gas-guzzling unit will be dropped in favor to a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. [Source: Autoweek]

Im wondering what will it look like?

[tidus1203]

Well the 2010 model was kinda known to receive the new R-engine (non-US models, since walang CRDi sa US Santa Fe). But at least we get a confirmation that a FACELIFT will happen rather than an entirely new generation. At least we have a couple more years to enjoy our rides before it becomes old

Interestingly, they are adding a 4 cylinder mix into the lineup paired with a 6 speed auto...

[Camgen6]

Probably the 2.4L will replace the base 2.7 V6 which is only rated at 180+hp yata while the new 2.4 I-4 is around 175hp na. And yes the new 2.4 is more powerful and most fuel efficient among its class. Another great job from Hyundai.

We`re not sure if Hyundai Philippines will release the 3rd gen here in 2010.

[tidus1203]

No 3rd gen yet, here is the facelift...

Mukang pareho pa din ang overall design (kaya nga facelift and not all new generation), the mags has been changed. The lights will change, they will also change the grill and definitely they will have new engines (I am drooling for the R-engine)...

[renzo_d10]

Ahh.. I hope I could see the unit itself, so that I can decide whether to buy the facelift model or not. Although the 6 speed transmission attracts me, what if........the 2nd gen is ***ier than the facelift model?

[eggman]

Mukhang mas ok to ha..Buti't di pa ako bumibili ng Santa Fe dahil mas ok ang 2010 MY variant!!

[josep]

thanks sir HP for valuable help...

[tidus1203]

Kaibigan ni Ma'am Anna yung head of sales ng Hyundai E. Rod. But I am not sure if they give the best deals kasi when I bought mine they didn't...

[noobskie]

Magiging fuel efficient pa kaya yung R-engine ng Sorento kung ganyan kalakas yung power output kahit maliit yung displacement?

[kihtmaine]

Sana maka pull out ako sa planta kung dumating iyan

Please advise because I'm planning of getting the SF this week. I've got the money ready na (Cash basis) but wala pa akong formal agreement with the dealer. One dealer to which I inquired just recently will give me P100K discount, free 3-year LTO registration, tint and matting.

Hmm.. 100k discount sa Santa Fe, maybe a "push unit" I dunno, and anong dealership iyan sir?

OT:

Hey guys regarding sa pagbili ninyo ng Bnew Santa Fe or other Hyundai unit, pm ninyo lang ako I'm working from Hyundai though.

Call me or text * my mobile 09063279597 for inquiries.

Thanks

2010 Hyundai Santa Fe facelift
Jun.15, 2009 in HYUNDAI NEWS

Popular Hyundai Santa Fe SUV receives a mid-cycle facelift. New powertrain technologies include a six-speed automatic transmission and R-diesel engine!

Three years and seven months after Koreas leading automaker brought its second generation Santa Fe SUV to the market, Hyundai has released the very first image of the facelifted 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. The mid-cycle facelift will bring Santa Fe an array of improvements including exterior and interior updates, along with new powertrain technologies.

Exterior of the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe will host a plethora of styling updates, including a slightly revamped three-bar signature grille and heavily revised bumper in front, while rear will feature a slightly restyled pair of tail-lamps and tweaked rear bumper with integrated rear fog lamps. The facelift will also bring a set of new 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, chrome door handles and side mirror integrated turn signals.

Inside, the facelifted Santa Fe will benefit from higher quality materials, new seat upholstery and new interior color choices. The revised Santa Fe will also feature a slightly updated center stack and leather-covered steering wheel. The model will also see some equipment upgrades such as smart key, start-stop button, parking assist system with rear camera and a display located in the rear-view mirror inside the car, while active head-rests will improve Santa Fes already top notch safety.



With sales of more than 500.000 units so far, the Santa Fe has been Hyundais best selling SUV for years. Credits for such a great sales go to Santa Fes attractive exterior styling and competitive powertrain technologies under the hood. For the 2010 model year, the new Santa Fe SUV will also undergo some radical technical changes. Among all, the most important improvements will be the newly developed six-speed automatic transmission and highly advanced R-diesel engine.

Hyundai has already announced many of its midsized vehicles, including Santa Fe and Sonata sedan, are going to benefit from the all-new six-speed auto tranny, co-developed between Hyundai and Kia. According to Hyundai, the new six-speed auto tranny is 12kg lighter and was constructed with 62 lesser parts compared with the 5-speed auto transmission that it is replacing.



The highly anticipated 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe is joining the all-new Kia Sorento as the second vehicle in the Hyundai-Kia range to be equipped with the state-of-the-art four-cylinder diesel engine that is available in two configurations (2.0L and 2.2L). With a power output of 135 kW and 392 Nm of torque, the 2.0L version of the R-Engine outperforms any competitive offering (147 kW and 436 Nm are delivered by the 2.2L version). Both R-diesel engines also satisfie strict European (EURO5) emission standards.

The facelifted 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe is expected to go on sale in South Korea in August this year, while other International markets, such as North America, Australia and Europe should get the new Santa Fe in December this year
