Hyundai Santa Fe Team Wiggins Edition
We don’t get too see special edition
Hyundais very often, but the Korean car manufacturer has launched a limited run
of Santa Fe models to celebrate its partnership with Sir Bradley Wiggins’ elite
cycling team for the U.K.
If you’re a cycling aficionado, then
you’ve most likely have heard about seven-time Olympic medalist and first Brit
to win the Tour de France, Sir Bradley Wiggins. Well, his partnership with
Hyundai has spawned this special variant.
Called the Santa Fe Team Wiggins Edition
(no surprises here), the model is based on the Premium SE and comes with its
own individual design and packed full of equipment, such as a Smart Electric
Tailgate, Smart Parking Assist, Ventilated Front Seats, and Smart High Beam
(all available as standard).
In addition, Hyundai’s special sports
utility vehicle named after the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, sports very
subtle Team Wiggins badges on the front wings, Side Bar Sport running bars, and
all-new Dark Gunmetal-colored 19-inch alloy wheels sitting on 235/55 R19 tires.
Customers can choose from five limited
body colors, including two pearl-effect hues, three metallic paints and a solid
color.
But here’s the catch, unlike other
limited-run vehicles, the Santa Fe Team Wiggins won’t carry a price tag that
reflects its exclusivity and added standard equipment, as the 7 seat 2.2 CRDi
4WD Manual will cost £ 705 (US$ 939) less than the Premium SE, coming to a total of
£ 35,995 (US$ 47,977).
Only 500 units will be built and all of
them will feature the 200 PS 2.2-litre CRDi diesel.
