Hyundai Santa Fe and luxury? Even a few years ago, these words do not go together. Today, however, all the rest and the Koreans are ruthlessly pursuing their successful crossing across Europe. Progress is irresistible and the seven-seat family SUV proves it only.

Note only his drawing. He is sure of himself, muscular and is not afraid to bring bold elements. Large segmented reflectors and a huge grid make the tank look like the road. Horizontal LED tail lights with 3D effect optically expand the model. But do not worry, Santa Fe is still a compact car that you can park in the city. It is 4.7 meters long for the Škoda Kodiaq or Peugeot 5008 and it must be said that they are afraid
The move to the next generation of Korean SUV has much mastered and inside is a pleasure to watch. The instrument is already widely digitized, the driver is holding the new steering wheel wrapped in a nice leather, the center console reigns with a large infotainment screen.

We are glad that Korea is not afraid to experiment and offer a car with a view. This is proved, for example, by the sight of his door. They alternate with high quality materials with unusually shaped speaker covers. He feels that the details have also been thought out here. Parking in the city will ease your camera system to 360 ° and will enter the third row of seats in the third row of seats
By the way, the second row of passengers can enjoy an extra standard portion and the sixth and seventh passengers will not fail. When it comes to adults, they will still suffer in the third row, but for example, compared to Kodiaqom or 5008, there seems to be a little more complicated
The seven-seater SUV is a bit funny for the body – thanks to the artistic design, it looks from several angles bigger than it does it. is in reality. We appreciate the intelligent work of the designers in this regard. Source: Filip Kadlečík
The case also has a volume of 547 liters in the case of a seven-seater version, but after the seventh and seventh seats, the seat remains only for the little ones luggage. From the point of view of the passengers, we could only stop the aerodynamic noise coming from one place – mirrors. Otherwise, the cabin was quiet, even at higher speeds than those on the highway.
Hyundai Grand Santa Fe: the father of the family
The large SUV is even more robust after modernization and offers more basic equipment, but it is more expensive than it has been until now
Hyundai will be available with the Naphtha 2.0 110-liter engine (150 hp) and twin-engine 147 kW (200 hp). We tried a stronger variant coupled with the new eight- and four-wheel drive. On the asphalt, the vehicle was well behaved, and despite the winding neighborhoods, it was not difficult to maintain a high pace. The chassis works well above average
An aggregate of 200 horses is also sufficient and Santa Fe can bend quickly. During the presentation, there were doubts about the propulsion capabilities of the HTRAC 4×4, but we did not study the off-road performance of the car significantly. However, we do not even describe this aspect in a domestic test.

In the SUV B segment, the main disappointment is the fact that they do not have AWD. This does not apply in all cases. The Hyundai Kona model tested from the point of view of the powertrain …
Forget the safety of the vehicle. Among others, it has two new systems – the first is the prevention before opening the door to the other vehicle. The second tries to solve the problem of a child forgotten in the car. If the car records the movement, it will sound an alarm and alert the driver or another person in the immediate vicinity.
A decent facelift of the bestseller
On twisted serpentines, Tucson, which is a very agile and light sport utility vehicle,. This time, however, under the hood we had a hybrid diesel hybrid engine rated at 136 kW (185 hp) and 400 Nm. According to the newspapers, the SUV should drive it above average, but we did not not like the dynamic performance of this couple. Naftiak, with a voltage of 48 volts from athletics Tucson, as if only a cruise cruiser only

On the other hand, it will be really good. Combined with the eight-speed automatic, it is comfortable and despite the higher tempo, it can handle a reasonable fuel consumption. The cabin is also improved, so traveling will be more comfortable from every angle.
Hyundai praised us by taking care of the views of customers and journalists. They have long criticized the obsolete concept of the interior of Tucson, which is now a definite past. The compact SUV received an interior full of features known to the still fresh i30 family and is another significant advance.

Tucson receives diodes in front and back and testifies to him excellent. In addition, the novel comes with a refined grill, which is now more pronounced.
The Middle Golden Path for the Konu
Of all the trio refreshed, the changes to the Kona touched the least. Two options have been added to the price list. You can also buy the 1.6 T-GDi with front wheel drive or the Smartstream generation. The hatchback of a sixth corresponds to the horses and the SUV of the city exceeds it

The good impression, apart from the reasonable power of 85 kW (115 hp), certainly helped the smart radiation cabinet with an excellent backdrop. With a speed of 130 km / h, the engine runs slightly less than 2450 rpm. The new version will also be available in a stronger version (100 kW / 136 hp), where you will be able to convert the speed into a dual seven-speed triangle coupled to all-wheel drive. We are happy to see the engine come in offer
Despite the anti-diesel moods, it's a good choice especially for people who are more likely to go longer. At the same time, the engine will serve magnificently as an intermediate gold medal between the low-volume three-cylinder and the mighty sixth. In addition to changes in the automobile, Kone does not change anything, as expected
Final Summary
The competition with the arrival of the new Santa Fe "has something to hope for." Hyundai has built a serious family SUV that brings new life to the lucrative segment. We like to design outside or inside, lots of practical solutions and honest taxi work. Remorcables can be particularly used to propel or make noise in the cabin. Otherwise, we were satisfied with the model sport-utility

The modernization of Tucson benefits not only from the point of view of the bodywork, but also from the cabin. The Palubovka now seems adequate on the outside. The mild hybrid diesel is technologically fascinating, but it does not leave us the perfect impression on the first kilometers. The light and boring weight Tucson will turn it into a less skilful car, feeling bigger and heavier.

The addition of a diesel fuel option has only benefited. The powerful 1.6 T-GDi is not only energy efficient and the small triplet is not very good for long journeys. Now the SUV gets a versatile engine with great potential that can find a way for a lot of customers.

Korea releases a powerful trio in the world it almost certainly mixes the cards even on our market. True, the models tested are not completely flawless, but they keep their high level. For all three, they are much better than before. Santa Fe can not compare with the predecessor nor him, Tucson has cured the mistakes of his predecessor, and the same can be said of the Konfu naftiak. Competitors, pay attention!
