Stay informed with the new HUD
The new-generation Santa Fe boasts a full head-up display
for the first time in Hyundai’s SUV line-up. This intuitive HUD projects key
driving information onto the windscreen, including road conditions, speed, and
fuel level, helping to keep the driver’s attention on the road, whilst staying
informed at all times. With adjusted height and angle, a projected eight-inch image
size and class-leading luminance, the new HUD offers clear visibility in all of
the different lighting conditions you can experience day-to-day. It can also
display alerts from the Santa Fe’s intelligent active safety and driving
assistance features, for example to warn you if you are straying out of your
lane or if a pedestrian or vehicle is in your blind spot.
Choice of transmission
The new Hyundai Santa Fe boasts a choice of transmissions to
suit your individual driving preferences, making this the most versatile
incarnation of this stylish SUV yet. Delivering smooth automatic gear changes,
the newly developed 8-speed automatic transmission provides enhanced
responsiveness and improved fuel efficiency. It also includes enhanced drive
mode logic, and improves engine response and control when cornering and engine
braking control. Meanwhile, the 6-speed manual transmission offers smooth,
quiet gear-changes, made possible by multi-cone synchronisers, optimised gear
teeth, control-type bearings and permanent low-viscosity transmission oil.
Whichever transmission you prefer, the Sante Fe offers a responsive and
memorable drive every time.
Intelligent four-wheel drive
Hyundai’s HTRAC™ technology offers superior handling and
control for a new level of driving confidence, achieving optimal traction in any
conditions by actively adjusting the driving power distribution to each of the
four wheels. It offers the driver manual control over the driving style with
the introduction of various driver modes. Comfort mode offers improved
stability, whilst Eco mode provides improved fuel efficiency by sending power
to the front wheels only. In Sport mode, HTRAC™ delivers improved acceleration
with up to 50% of torque distributed to the rear wheels. Smart mode adapts to
your driving style and road conditions in real time, automatically switching
between Eco, Sport and Comfort modes.
