हुंडई सैंटा एफ़ई [2014-2017] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior Looks European.Does not look like a car made by Hyundai. Best looking car in the range. Wine Red and White are the dieal colours. LED's are a good addition to the look. The side curves and back make it look like a good stable SUV. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good interiors. Rear seats are great. Loaded with features like keyless start, auto lamps, auto wipers. 3rd row is small. The screen panel is also small. It should be increased in size. Seat material is good and dashboard is easily the best in this class. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best engine in its class. It is thrilling at all speeds. Fuel economy roughly 12kmpl. 0-100 is 8-9 secs.

Ride Quality & Handling Very planted and smooth drive. Great highway and offroad drive. Handles well in city with steering weight options.

Final Words This is the SUV to buy in this segment.

Areas of improvement Larger touch panel. Audio Remote Control.

Exterior

It catche every eye on the road especially with its headlights and imported vehicle looks

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interiors are gud as par with the germans. but misses some basic features for a car of such cost like button start (even grand i10 has it), small infotainment screen, missing gps and front parking sensors. A sunroof might have been a productive feature. The feature of changing sterring modes adds to its comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine performance is good and i managed a fuel economy of 11.5 kpl for the first 500 km (mostly in light traffic). Gearbox is gud with its six gears and we dont feel much lag in the gearshifts that gives a feel of driving a cross over.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is quite good and the handling too. the car cuts the corners very easily and the car seems stable even at 130kmph. Cabin noise if also low and especially the suspension is perfect for the indian roads.

Final Words

The car has everything and is in par with the germans. A button start and front parking sensor might have added lot of value to this version when we r paying 31 lakhs.

Areas of improvement  

 THe Lakshmi hyundai dealers in Andhra are not so customer oriented and they promised me the delivery in one month but they took it to 3 months and also not professional in delaing with the customers.
