[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 30th that it will begin pre-orders for the 'The New Santa Fe' gasoline 2.5 turbo model starting from the 2nd of next month. This is the second engine lineup following the diesel 2.2 model, which began sales in July.


The gasoline model is equipped with a Smartstream gasoline 2.5 turbo engine delivering a maximum output of 281 horsepower and a maximum torque of 43.0 kgf·m.

The N Performance Parts consist of a diesel model-exclusive dual muffler (left and right exhaust outlets), aluminum monoblock 4-piston brakes, a 20-inch lightweight wheel package, and N Performance suspension, completing a more dynamic design and driving performance.


Additionally, a built-in air purifier installed behind the front passenger seat to supply clean air inside the cabin and an infrared knee warmer that keeps the driver’s legs warm will also be offered.
