SETIA Motors Sdn Bhd, the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the Sultanate unveiled the fourth generation Santa Fe last night at Royal Berkshire Hall of the Royal Brunei Polo and Riding Club in Jerudong.
Present at the launch was Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Anak Abdul Mui’iz bin Pengiran Indera Setia Diraja Sahibul Karib Pengiran Anak Haji Idris and General Manager of Setia Motors James Chin.
In his welcoming remarks, James Chin shared that the fourth generation Santa Fe showcases Hyundai’s strong SUV heritage.
He thanked Hyundai customers, corporate clients and Setia Motors staff for their support.
According to Setia Motors, the new generation Santa Fe is available in two engine variants – the 2.4-litre four-cylinder DOHC gasoline engine and the 2.2-litre four-cylinder DOHC – and customers can choose either a higher or lower specification model with a variety of add-ons.
Packed with features, the SUV is larger than its predecessor with a length of 4,770mm, a width of 1,890mm and a longer wheelbase for a more comfortable ride. It also comes equipped with more advanced equipment and safety features.
The Sante Fe exterior has the appearance of a wide stance with twin headlights and Hyundai’s signature cascading grille.
The interior of this SUV combines premium quality with a roomy layout for enhanced visibility.
The new Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped with Safety Exit Assist feature where it prevents accidents by temporarily locking doors when vehicles approach from behind so that passengers can exit the car safely.
Apart from that, the car offers the best-in-class safety features with Euro NCAP five-star ratings.
In a show of appreciation, three customers were invited for an official handover ceremony presented by James Chin.
