2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
Hyundai intends to jumpstart sales for the year by introducing its new models to the US market at the 2010 North American International Auto Show. Making its debut was the 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe. It is offered with a choice between two engines. First, there's a 2.4-liter inline-four that develops 175hp the same one offered on the Tucson and available as standard. There's also the 3.5-liter Lambda V6 releasing 276hp and 248 lb-ft of torque offered as an option. The fuel consumption of both engines has been improved, with the 2.4-liter unit achieving 20/28 mpg while the 3.5-liter unit posts 20/26 mpg.
The new Santa Fe actually only features slight upgrades when compared to the 2010 version. Styling was modified slightly but the carmaker went for more significant engine upgrades. The 2.7-liter and the 3.3-liter V6 engines have been replaced by new units, which were specifically modified for improved fuel economy and lower emissions. Safety has also been improved.
The Santa Fe now comes with six standard airbags, including side air curtain airbags, as well as ABS with BA, EBD, ESC, three-point seatbelts and adjustable head restraints and Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Pricing information for the 2011 Santa Fe has not been revealed but it's likely to be similar to its predecessor.
