The second generation of the Santa Fe crossover (a pioneer in the mid-size SUV segment for the Korean manufacturer Hyundai) made its world premiere in January 2006 at the international exhibition in Detroit, and went on sale in April of the same year. In 2010, at the Frankfurt show, the debut of an updated car took place, which received a noticeably refreshed appearance, a modernized interior and two new diesel engines under the hood. The “Korean” remained on the assembly line until 2012, when a third-generation model arrived to replace it.

Large, heavy and textured, but not without graceful outlines, the body of the “second Santa Fe” looks interesting and respectable. And if you close the brand emblem, then it can even be mistaken for a much more prestigious model. The powerful appearance of the crossover is emphasized by massive sides with developed “muscles”, a large radiator grille, large rims, predatory “squinted” head optics and a pair of trapezoidal exhaust pipes.

The external dimensions of the 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe indicate, as we have already noted, that it belongs to the class of mid-size crossovers: 4660 mm in length, 1890 mm in width and 1760 mm in height. The wheelbase of the car is limited by a 2700 mm gap between the front and rear axles, and the ground clearance in the loaded position is 203 mm.

The interior of the “second” Hyundai Santa Fe not only looks stylish, but is also highly functional and quality materials finishing. Directly in front of the driver is a large steering wheel with two blocks of buttons between the hubs, adjustable both in height and reach. The instrument panel with a standard set of readings and large digitization has a simple but modern design.
The symmetrical “aluminum” console in the center of the front panel is framed by elegant air duct deflectors and looks strictly and concisely. It houses a 2-DIN audio system and a large climate control system with a custom monochrome display. The decoration of the crossover is made of high-quality plastics, diluted with aluminum and wood inserts, and the seats are clad in excellent leather (with the exception of the initial versions).

The front seats of the 2nd generation Santa Fe are endowed with wide adjustments and tangible support on the sides, but the cushion is somewhat short. But on the back sofa there is real freedom - there is plenty of space for three passengers, and for greater convenience the back of the rear sofa can be adjusted to the angle of inclination.

In the five-seater version, the luggage compartment of the Korean crossover is impressive in volume - 774 liters of usable space, to which is also added a spacious niche in the underground (the spare wheel is hung “outside” - under the bottom). The split backrest of the second row folds down to create a flat floor and a volume of 1,582 liters.

Specifications. For Russian market The “second Santa Fe” was equipped with two power units to choose from:

• The gasoline version is a four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with distributed fuel injection with a volume of 2.4 liters, releasing 174 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 226 Nm of torque at 3750 rpm.
• The diesel side is supported by an in-line “four” with a turbocharging system, which, with a working volume of 2.2 liters, generates 197 “horses” of potential at 3800 rpm and 421 Nm of possible thrust, available in the range from 1800 to 2500 rpm.

For each engine, manual and automatic transmissions are available (in both cases with six gears). By default, this Hyundai crossover is equipped with an all-wheel drive system, which under normal conditions supplies the entire traction reserve to the front axle, and if one of the wheels slips, to rear axle up to 50% of its share goes away. This entire process is controlled by an electronically controlled multi-plate friction clutch.

The gasoline modification "Santa Fe 2" requires 10.7-11.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h at a maximum speed of 186-190 km/h, while the diesel version is somewhat more dynamic - 9.8-10.2 seconds and 190 km/h, respectively.
In the combined cycle, a 174-horsepower car consumes an average of 8.7-8.8 liters of fuel, and a 197-horsepower car consumes 6.8-7.2 liters.

The basis for the second generation Santa Fe is the front-wheel drive architecture of the Hyundai Sonata sedan. The design of the front axle provides for the presence of MacPherson struts, and rear axle– independent multi-link suspension. A hydraulic booster is “implanted” into the steering device, and the braking system is represented by discs on all wheels (ventilated at the front) with ABS and ESC.

Options and prices. For the 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe crossover in 2015 on the Russian secondary market, on average, they ask from 700,000 to 1,200,000 rubles - the final cost is influenced by the year of manufacture, condition, equipment and version of the installed engine. Even at the simplest level, the “Korean” is well equipped - ABS, airbags, dual-zone climate control, power steering, fog lights, heated front seats, power windows on four doors and a standard audio system.

The world premiere of the third generation of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe crossover took place in the spring of 2012 at the New York Auto Show. The Koreans surprised visitors to the auto show by rolling out two cars onto the podium - the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and the Hyundai Santa Fe with an extended wheelbase for the North American market. At the end of summer, within the framework of MIAS 2012, the Russian premiere took place in Moscow European version Hyundai Santa Fe with Sport prefix.
