New Grand Santa Fe to help
Hyundai meet rising demand for larger SUVs in Europe. The new
Hyundai Grand Santa Fe will be unveiled at the 2013 Geneva motor show.
First seen at the 2012 New York motor show, the Grand Santa Fe is a large SUV offered in six- or seven-seat configurations. It won't be coming to the UK, however, as it will only be available in left-hand drive configuration.
It will join Hyundais European range alongside the new Santa Fe. The Grand Santa Fe is both taller, wider and longer than the Santa Fe, offering more interior and boot space.
The differences arent limited to the Grands dimensions. Further distinguishing it from its smaller counterpart is a reshaped grille, a different front bumper and fog lamps and a restyled rear quarter. It also features bespoke 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels.
Improving the look and feel of the cabin is a full-length panoramic sunroof with no centre beam. Standard equipment will include three-mode adjustable steering and a 4. 3-inch touch screen.
Hyundai has calibrated the European market version of the cars handling specifically, claiming that it will offer the more damped, responsive driving experience expected by European buyers.
The Grand Santa Fe will be offered with a single powertrain option, a 2. 2-litre diesel engine coupled to a six-speed automatic gearbox. It will output 194bhp and emit 192g/km of CO2.
Allan Rushforth, senior vice president and chief operating officer at Hyundai Motor Europe, commented: The addition of Grand Santa Fe to the Hyundai portfolio will help meet the rising demand for E-segment SUV models in Europe.
