Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) announced that the Hyundai Santa Fe is open for booking across Malaysia. Available in both 2.2L Diesel and 1.6L Hybrid variants, the fourth-generation Santa Fe continues to set the benchmark for family SUVs, offering an exceptional blend of power, efficiency and sophisticated design.
Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director, Southeast Asia, Sime Darby Motors said, "The Santa Fe has long been a cornerstone of Hyundai's SUV line-up, consistently meeting the needs of Malaysian families. With its bold design, advanced technology and choice of powertrains, the Santa Fe continues to impress those seeking a versatile and premium driving experience."
The Santa Fe’s bold, modern design makes a striking impression. Its wide grille, featuring Hyundai's signature geometric pattern, seamlessly integrates with T-shaped LED Daytime Running Lights, creating a commanding presence on the road. The SUV's sporty profile is further accentuated by a dynamic line that flows from front to rear, while the rear features a sleek illuminated bar connecting the taillights, emphasising the mid-size vehicle's width and stability.
Joey Lin, Managing Director of Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors, shared, "The Santa Fe is equipped with an array of cutting-edge technologies that enhance both comfort and safety. From the intuitive 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system to the comprehensive Hyundai SmartSense Safety Suite, every aspect of the Santa Fe has been designed with the modern family in mind. We are confident that the Santa Fe will continue to be a favourite among discerning SUV buyers in Malaysia."
The locally assembled (CKD) Santa Fe offers two compelling powertrain options to suit different driving preferences. The 2.2L Diesel model, powered by a robust CRDi engine, delivers an impressive 202 PS and 440 Nm of torque, providing a smooth drive when embarking on long-distance journeys. Meanwhile, eco-conscious drivers can opt for the 1.6L Hybrid, which combines a Gamma-II T-GDi Hybrid engine with an electric motor, producing a combined 230 PS and 350 Nm of torque. This hybrid powertrain offers enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions without compromising on performance.
Both variants feature Hyundai's innovative Terrain Mode selector, allowing drivers to optimise vehicle performance across various driving conditions, including sand, snow and mud, along with offering eco, sport, comfort and smart modes. Additionally, the 2.2L Diesel model is equipped with HTRAC® All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) for superior traction and handling in challenging terrains.
Inside, the Santa Fe provides a spacious, comfortable interior packed with top-notch features. The high centre console, finished with premium soft-touch materials, creates an armchair-like seating position for the driver and front passenger, providing a more luxe feel. The intuitive layout of the controls ensures everything is within easy reach while the Terrain Mode selector, located conveniently on the centre console, allows drivers to switch between different drive modes with ease.
The Santa Fe’s interior is further equipped with exceptional features designed to maximise user convenience. With a 10.25-inch AVN (audio, video, navigation) touchscreen display that provides pre-loaded maps, satellite-based voice-guided navigation and a complete suite of in-car entertainment features, the Santa Fe keeps occupants connected and entertained on the go. The Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control ensures optimum comfort levels, regardless of the weather while the Smart Power Tailgate makes loading and unloading a breeze.
Safety remains paramount in the Santa Fe with the Hyundai SmartSense Safety Suite offering features such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. The 1.6L Hybrid HS and 2.2L Diesel variants also include a Blind Spot View Monitor and Surround View Monitor for enhanced visibility and safety.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is available in four distinctive colourways: Jet Black, Snowflake White Pearl, Meteor Grey and Stormy Sea, complementing the SUV’s sleek lines and dynamic design.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is now available for booking at authorised Hyundai showrooms nationwide, with an early bird discount for first 100 bookings ranging from RM185,888 to RM205,888 (on-the-road, excluding insurance), a RM10,000 discount from the indicative price. Additionally, each purchase is backed by a comprehensive 5-year/300,000 km warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
