While the seven-seater SUV R goes for more than 1-Million, it is very large at the price.
Quick fact is that the new “love it, or hate it” style Hyundai Santa Fee gives you seven seats, only comes with a petrol-hybrid engine option with all-wheel drive and is now locally available locally for a cool R1.25-million.
There was a time when Santa F’s name was different in the SUV world. At a time when it was a soft, vague jellybin -shaped thing that was easily wrong for a Hyundai Tuxon, a Kia Sornto or any other generic SUV on the road, which depends on that angle.
I like to pay-off, boxy-type SUV and for me this new Hyundai Signature H-Paturn Lights and some extent controversial/ugly rear of the new Santa Fe who works. In 2025, you should only take a look at a new Hyundai Santa FE, to see if the old was designed to mix, it was designed to stand out.

A little bit with the controversial theme, as already said, you only get an engine derived option, only with the new Hyundai Santa F, and it is a petrol/hybrid combination.

Was it good on the road Civic motoringLaunch Drive? Sure. Hyundai Santa was also smooth and cool, which was felt more than sufficient request for a family proposer. Even fuel consumption was relatively good for a small capacity petrol turbo unit, with some electric support, and settled between 8L/100 km during our media launch drive.
The elephant in the room is a diesel, and we all know how consumers like Diesel here at the tip of Africa, and in the Hyundai family it is that the great 142kw/440nm, 2.2-liter turbodies are offered in their coordination.
Uninterrupted hybrid driving
Now, before you take the pitch thorns at the headquarters of Hyundai SA before you do this, you need to understand that it is All-new Sant F, and the new platform of the car does not support diesel powertrain. What is worth it, the good news for this is that Hybrid system is self-beachingSo no one is to worry about plugs and other electrical annoying items.
Choose my drive mode until you especially want to live in sport mode or eco driving mode and let the new Hyundai Santa Fay decide whether he wants to use petrol, or electricity, or both; And it does it originally.

I say Quiver, because whatever hybrid I have run, it either provides this function through the touch screen. It is quite less complex that this new Hyundai Santa F comes with a wide range of hosting and facilities facilities.
