Hyundai Santa Fe And Sante Fe Sport
Facelifted
Debuting with some styling updates, a
host of new technologies and an extensive range of standard features is the
2017 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport.
Revealed in Chicago, the entry-level
Santa Fe still has a 2.4-liter engine with 185 hp on tap, whereas the Sport
variant offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol pumping out 245 hp. The most
powerful of the range remains the seven-seater Sante Fe that comes exclusively
with a 290 hp 3.3-liter V6.
Some of the key styling changes include
different vertical LED daytime running lights, updated headlights and
taillights, a different front grille and dual exhaust tips. At Chicago, two
examples are on display, one finished in blue with chrome elements and the
other painted silver with dark accents, including the wheels.
As with the current model year Santa Fe,
the 2017 range continues to offer a lot of tech considering its mid-US$ 20,000 price
point. Some of these include Remote Start with Climate Control, Stolen Vehicle
Recovery, remote keyless entry, heated exterior wing mirrors, blind spot
monitoring and a rearview camera.
