What's included in the package:
Exterior design
Hyundai rarely changes its design concept, which can be seen in the exterior of the new Hyundai Grand Santa Fe. The body is slightly elongated, and the stampings on the sidewalls visually make it even longer, thanks to which the crossover has a certain similarity to a comet, ready to rush off at a rapid speed.
If you look at the car from the front, then it looks very stern and focused. Primary optics and large fog lights look at the road intently and clearly, as if letting their future owner know that the level of safety meets the highest class. The producers have tried, as evidenced by the 5 stars of Euro NCAP.
The most dramatic changes in the Grand are in its dimensions - the length has increased by 225 mm, which amounted to a total figure of 4915 mm, the width has increased by 5 mm and reached 1885 mm, Hyundai Grand Santa Fe 2014 has become 10 mm taller - 1695 mm, the wheelbase expanded by 100 mm and now represents 2800 mm. The curb weight of the car is 1932–2072 kg. The ground clearance is exactly 18 cm.
This increase has influenced the size of the trunk, which has a capacity of 607 liters when the third row seats are in working position, and is 634 liters with the third row seats folded, and a size of 1,842 liters can be achieved if the second row of seats is folded down. To some extent, the rear lights, the shape of the fog lights and the profile of the side glazing have been modified.
The overall design of the model is quite attractive, the representative appearance is in good harmony with some sporting elements, and the body kit around the body in the lower part, made of unpainted plastic, is a fairly practical solution.
Salon "Hyundai Grand Santa Fe"
The salon is finished with high-quality solid plastic with a pleasant soft texture (see photo above). There are presently aesthetic and fashionable inserts "lacquered carbon". The Supervision dashboard is easy to read and stylish.
The on-board computer display with beautiful animation is located between the wells of the speedometer and tachometer.
A 7-inch display flaunts on the center console, on which the Navteq navigation system displays information.
In general terms, the Hyundai Grand Santa Fe does not differ much from the interior solution of its five-seater sibling, however, the rear passengers will feel more comfortable on long trips, since there is much more legroom. In the third row, there is less space, it will be best for children, although a special niche in the ceiling will allow an adult to also be accommodated.
The most comfortable stay is provided to the front passengers, since the seats provide various electric adjustments and memory of two positions, heating, and the maximum version is equipped with ventilation. A wide, comfortable armrest takes its place between the seats, and its box is roomy enough and has a double bottom.
The multifunctional leather steering wheel is heated, and with the press of just one button, you can change the steering wheel control settings.
Specifications Hyundai Grand Santa Fe 3rd generation
Europe will receive a 2014 Hyundai Grand Santa Fe crossover with only one diesel unit, and Russian buyers will have the opportunity to purchase a car with a powerful gasoline engine. But even with us, a diesel engine will still be preferable, which consists of 4 cylinders with a working volume of 2199 cm3 (2.2 liters).
A similar engine was used for the base 5-seat crossover model and is equipped with a 3rd generation Common Rail injection system. There is also an electronic turbocharger, and the exhaust gas recirculation system is equipped with an EGR cooler.
The turbo diesel Hyundai Grand Santa Fe III has a capacity of 197 hp. at 3800 rpm per minute, the torque peaks at 436 Nm at rpm from 1800 to 2500 rpm. The gearbox is automatic, 6-speed, and is designed exclusively for the 3rd generation of the crossover. The manufacturer presents the speed advantages of the engine with the following figures - it will take 10.3 seconds to accelerate to 100 km per hour, and the highest (maximum) speed is 200 km per hour.
A gasoline engine can pretend to be a flagship, even a more expensive price is not a hindrance. After all, domestic motorists are more committed to gasoline units, and the characteristics of the latter are obligatory. The novelty, produced for the Russian market, has a V-shaped power engine with six cylinders and a 3.3-liter displacement.
You need to refuel a gasoline station wagon only with AI-95 gasoline. Fuel consumption, as always, is higher than indicated by the manufacturer in the passport data, according to our tests, it became as follows:
- The real consumption in the city could be up to 20-22 liters per hundred kilometers.
- Gasoline consumption on the highway - 10-12 liters.
- The combined cycle was approximately 13 liters per 100 km.
270 hp engine equipped with the latest direct fuel injection system and works in tandem with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The characteristics of the petrol Grand Santa Fe in terms of dynamics are the best - it will take only 8.8 seconds to accelerate the engine from the initial mark to 100 km, and the speed reaches a maximum of 207 km per hour.
The suspension scheme is similar to the base model. In the front there are MacPherson struts and an independent system, an anti-roll bar, and in the back there is a multi-link device with double levers. Due to changes in the wheelbase and the total weight of the vehicle, the rigidity of some elements has been increased.
Somewhat different settings are characteristic of the suspension, they differ both from the 5-seater version and from the American "colleague". The result is a smoother crossover ride, reduced sensitivity to road bumps, and improved handling when maneuvering in difficult terrain on the road.
