AFFORDABLE SANTA FE VARIANT NOW AVAILABLE

SHAH ALAM, 27 October 2011– Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) has now a complete line-up of all its Inokom Santa Fe (a licensed product from Hyundai Motor Company) variants following the introduction of the new affordable variant with standard specifications.

The new standard specification, 2.4 petrol variant is competitively priced at RM150,888 (on-the-road with road tax and insurance), making it extremely attractive for a 7-seater mid-size Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).

The new Santa Fe variant still maintains its power machine (2.4l Theta II engine), which produces 174PS (128kW) of maximum power and an impressive 23.2kgm (228Nm) of maximum torque. Value for money, it also comes with a 6-speed maintenance-free automatic transmission and an electronically actuated 4-wheel drive system that changes from two to four wheel drive in an instant or 4-wheel lock at the touch of a button.

The main differences from the premium variant are in the interior trims as well as some other features, including the Audio Visual Navigator/GPS (AVN) unit, sunroof, smart key/push start button, reverse camera and driver power seat, which are not included in the standard specification variant. This variant comes with black leather seats.
