2016 Hyundai Santa Fe

[FiestaST]

Nice trail off guys but we are talking about this stupidly overpriced Korean SUV.

Lest we not forget the Kia equivalent is just as much but as the added bonus of an infotainment system from the early 2000's

Looks nice in white. Red not so much.

Now for more on the 2017 Kia Sportage please

I see today the price is R724 000. Bought my elite 18 month ago for R560 000.

It is an awesome car, filled to the brim with features, luxuries and style - but at the current price point even I battle to see the value.

Very impressive. Shows how much they trust their vehicles.

I'd love a Sante Fe but yeah that price is staggering.

Has anyone yet determined why this car is selling from R700k in SA, and half that price ($26k or R350k) in the USA?

You can ask that again what is so special about it to cost R700 000.

2018 Hyundai Santa Fe previewed ahead of Geneva motor show reveal

Big SUV is to get brand-first safety tech and a fresh new look for its fourth generation

The next Hyundai Santa Fe will get a drastically different design and new interior technology in order to give the fourth-generation model its best shot of fighting it out in the SUV segment's sharp end.

Ahead of its reveal at the Geneva motor show this March, the new car's exterior has been previewed with sketches. These show an aggressive front end with a split headlight design – similar to that of the smaller Kona – and a pinched rear with an angled tailgate.

Among the tech highlights are a rear occupant alert - a warning to let the driver know when leaving the car if there’s someone in the rear seats – as well as automatic emergency braking (AEB) added to the rear cross-traffic alert system, effectively giving the car AEB in both forward and reverse.

The new Sante Fe has been part-developed at the Nürburgring, as Hyundai looks to sharpen the handling of its range by testing all of its models there, no matter how performance-focused they are.

The Santa Fe is the largest car that Hyundai sells in the UK.

“It would be very nice if in 10 to 15 years we can have people on the street seeing Hyundai as a brand that makes cars that are fun to drive,” said Klaus Köster, Hyundai’s director of high-performance vehicles.

“We have already established ourselves as a reliable, quality car maker that makes cars with good designs,” he said. “But now we have the knowledge to add sportiness to that image – which is something us Europeans like.”

Hyundai is also expected to reveal an electric version of the Kona in Geneva.
