Korean car manufacturer Hyundai has unveiled a newly enhanced range of their Santa Fe SUV featuring a revised model line-up along with additional safety equipment.
The success of Hyundai's recent free Electronic Stability Program (ESP) integrating a Traction Control System (TCS) has filtered through to the Santa Fe permanently with the entry-level ‘SX’ variant gaining this potential life saving technology along with front and rear curtain airbags and side front (thorax) airbags as standard.
Other standard equipment on the SX variant includes Anti-skid Braking System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, dual front airbags, 17-inch alloy wheels, a six-speaker sound system and a standard roof rack system with ‘one touch’ sliding bars.
The mid-range ‘SLX’ model boasts additional features such as dual zone climate control with external temperature display, a third row of seats, cool box, conversation ‘parent’ mirror, front fog lamps, mesh sports seat fabric, trip computer and heated door mirrors on top of the SX model features.
The top-of-the-range ‘Elite’ model gains even more goodies including power front seats, exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels, auto headlights ‘on’ system, chrome inserts in the door and boot handles, electro chromatic interior mirror with integrated digital compass, electric glass sunroof, 6 stack in-dash sound system with separately mounted amplifier and 7 speakers, leather seat facings, rear spoiler and stainless steel scuff plates.
