Hyundai Unveils the Santa Fe Sport at the New York Motor Show.

Korean auto-major Hyundai has showcased the all new Santa Fe in New York, surprising the world audience by exhibiting the Sport along with the existing Santa Fe. With the solid Fluidic design style, engine options and some interesting tech, Hyundai has managed to pull a fast one over its competitors.

The two-row, five-seater Sport base model has a 2.4 litre inline-four churning 190 bhp while the 2.0 litre turbocharged version delivers around 265 horses. The three-row seven-seater houses a powerful 3.3 litre DI V6 transmitting 290 horses to the wheels. Transmission options are limited to the in-house 6-speed automatic while all engines can be mated to the optional All Wheel Drive. 

The top end Santa Fe comes with the Torque-Vectoring cornering control system, the technology that Hyundai thinks would set the Santa Fe apart from the competition. While the enthusiast buyer would prefer the Sport, the average demographic customer looking for a spacious comfortable ride with family would go for seven seater. The wheelbase is extended over the Sport to create about 38 cu.m. of extra space for the third row. New and updated interiors with latest Stability and Navigation functions make this car truly modern.

Hyundai will be looking forward to get the Fluidic Santa Fe to India as soon as possible after the warm welcome to the existing Santa Fe and the runaway success of the Fluidic models like the i10 and the Verna.
