The Hyundai N family currently comprises of only two
members: the i30 and Veloster. Both of them are new and share the same
underpinnings and engine, a 2.0-liter four-banger with 275 hp and 353 Nm of torque. It’s very likely that the N sub-brand will welcome more
derivatives in the future, but the new generation Santa Fe probably won’t be on
that list.
Still, that hasn’t stopped XTomi from imagining what
a 2020 Sante Fe N could look like, finished in the same color scheme as its two
hot hatch siblings. The virtual changes include a lowered suspension for a more
planted look, larger wheels with improved brakes behind them, and the ‘N’ logo
on the grille.
Hyundai may not be plotting a performance
version of the new Santa Fe, but they will bring the regular models to the 2018
Geneva Motor Show, in early March, for their public premiere. The new Santa Fe
has a larger footprint than its predecessor, new design, and the company’s
latest technologies. No details about the engine lineup of the European version
have been announced yet, but it’s probably coming with several petrol and
diesel units.
