The company claims that the braking and suspension mechanisms is really powerful in which the front brake is of ventilated disc type where as the rear brake is of solid disc type. On the other hand, the new Hyundai Santa Fe is fitted with a McPherson Strut Type front suspension and Multi Link type rear suspension. The car gets a standard power assisted rack and pinion steering type which is very easy to handle the car. The vehicle is blessed with an 18 inch diamond cut alloy wheel of tire size 235/60 R18 for better road gripness.
I felt Hyundai Santa Fe is very attractive with lot of space, seats and awesome dashboard. There is no noise inside the cabin and air condition works really well. It has a neat sun shade and the rear view mirror at night is the main drawback. As well as the front passenger seat is very low which should have a height adjuster. Moving to the fuel efficiency, it is really good and the pick up is also nice. If the interiors are changed a little bit, then this would be the best choice for that price range.
I am very proud to have a Hyundai Santa Fe which gives a great, awesome look with its exteriors and it makes everybody to look at it. The vehicle is packed with lot of excellent features which offers more comfortness and luxurious to the travellers. The third row seat can be improved a little bit. The best features includes its strong engine, fuel economy and good gearbox. Comparing to Toyota Fortuner and Mahindra XUV500, Hyundai Santa Fe is better. According to me, it is the best suv for personal use.
I am having the vehicle Hyundai Santa Fe which catches all people eye on the road with its awesome headlights and its appearance. The interiors are attractive but it misses some features such as start button, small infotainment screen, gps and front parking sensors. The steering modes enhances the comfortness of the driver. Talking about the engine performance, it is really appreciable with the fuel efficiency of 11.5 kmpl for the first 500 km. While the car cuts the corners, the vehicle is easy to turn every nook and corners. Overall, Hyundai Santa Fe is perfect for Indian roads.
Hi everybody, I am totally impressed with the appearance of the Hyundai Santa Fe. Actually my friend is having the vehicle and I rode many times and so I decided to buy the car. On the performance wise, it is really a wonderful performance car in its segment. The features are of high quality for its price and it is not expensive. Oveall nice vehicle.
