The all-new
Santa Fe has once again been caught on camera, this time lapping the
Nurburgring.
Unfortunately, this particular car is wearing even
more camouflage than the one we saw back in April, although there are a few
differences, such as the missing roof bars and the presence of Recaro racing
seats.
Still, the all-new Santa Fe will
be wearing a new front end, boasting two separate sets of headlights - slim LED
units on top and regular lamps flanking the new honeycomb grille. The Korean
automaker is expected to continue offering the Santa Fe with either five or
seven seats, while possibly utilizing different nameplates for the two
versions. Entry-level models should continue to use FWD powertrains as
standard, with AWD available as an optional extra.
Speaking of powertrains, we're expecting a range of
petrol and diesel engines, as well as a plug-in hybrid version. The diesel
models should only be available in select markets though, with a focus on
Europe.
As for when we'll be able to see the new Santa Fe in
Hyundai showrooms, odds are no sooner than late 2018.
