Hyundai Santa Fe Test drive since 2009 SUV
Two new Hyundai Santa Fe engines
The Korean crossover was again updated: at the diesel engine with the previous working volume of 2.2 liters, the power increased to 197 liters. p., and in a gasoline version reduced a liter from 2.7 liters to 2.4, and the power was brought to 174 liters. with. The updated Hyundai Santa Fe is designed for supporters of a green lifestyle ...
Green fantasies
The authors of restyling hint at a new level of satisfaction with the car. They talk on a dangerous topic that power, safety, silence in the salon and comfort of this are not enough for the driver to receive maximum pleasure. They are sure, what do you think, what? That drivers will always be concerned about the fuel efficiency and environmental safety of their car. That is why the Koreans did not regret the efforts and costs of developing economical and environmentally friendly engines!
The diesel Korean rides faster, but less comfortable
Unhappy people. They suffocate on their peninsula, the total area of \u200b\u200bwhich is a little larger than the Lefortovo insulator. The conditions, however, are a little better, but the number of residents per square meter is about the same. Of course, there is nowhere without ecology. But in Russia it is very difficult to find a person choosing an environmentally friendly motor. Even if it is ardent green and wears food in paper bags, and it passes the old batteries to the reception center. He can even blow up McDonalds on weekends, but he will buy a car on the basis of youthful fantasies, and not guided by the level of emission.
Gasoline engine 174 forces and no vibrations
The diesel version accelerates to hundreds of 1.5 seconds faster than gasoline
Buy Mitvol
The new Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 liter diesel engine is equipped with piezoforms and a third -generation Common Rail system. Corresponds to the Euro-4 standard. Koreans without jokes declare: this is an ideal solution for everyone who loves to sit behind the wheel and at the same time takes care of environmental protection. Only Oleg Mitvol will peck at such an advertisement in Russia. Only he knows what 194 grams of soot is per kilometer.
On off -road, the chances of gasoline and diesel versions are equal
Geometric patency The main weapon of Hyundai Santa Fe on crossed terrain. For the SUV, the corners of the entrance/congress and the road clearance are more than worthy
With a gasoline engine, the story is no better. Continuous hints of fuel economy. What is the motor, even tires for the updated Hyundai Santa Fe work for more efficient fuel consumption. They are made of rubber mixture based on silicon dioxide, which provides maximum adhesion to wet surfaces and reduced rolling resistance.
It seems that only a new automatic six -speed Santa Fe gearbox is not developed for the ecology, but in order to achieve better swimming and dynamics smoothness. And the ICPP6 is modernized for the sake of noise and vibration isolation and increased wear resistance.
The quality of the interior decoration is fully consistent with the price
Half a meter of ford
I rarely make a choice in favor of gasoline engines. I almost always express a noticeably greater sympathy for engines on diesel fuel. But this time, rolling on both versions of Santa Fe, I cast my vote for a gasoline four -cylinder unit. Although diesel and more dynamically accelerates to hundreds of one and a half seconds faster. But he vibrates so unpleasantly on idle that, standing at traffic lights, you are constantly thinking about drowning him. This greatly spoils the impression, despite all its environmental friendliness, economy and ultra -modern technology.
There is no particular difference between two versions on the off -road. Outside the asphalt Santa Fe, not a diesel supply of Newton meters, but good geometry helps. The front overhang is mowed at the right angle, the ground clearance of 203 mm. And the depth of the ford maximum for the crossover is as many as half a meter. And one more serious plus: the clutch of all -wheel drive can be blocked, and electronic assistants can be turned off.
