at the chengdu auto show, beijing hyundai officially announced the launch of the fifth-generation santa fe, a mid-size fuel suv with a suggested retail price range of rmb 195,800 to 268,800. santa fe has a strong mass base in my country. it was introduced to china very early on, whether it was a pure imported car or a fully domestically produced car. santa fe is a legend. like its rivals cr-v and rav-4, it is one of the earliest excellent urban suvs that chinese people have come into contact with.

the fifth-generation santa fe has undergone significant changes in both model positioning and overall product strength. considering that fuel vehicles still occupy a considerable market share today, the fifth-generation santa fe still has a lot of room for growth in the 200,000-250,000-level mid-size suv market.

in the following period of time, we will interpret the configuration of this new model and provide purchasing recommendations, hoping to provide some necessary help for your purchase.

as a fuel-powered mid-size suv, the fuel-powered chassis it is based on cannot achieve a very exaggerated wheelbase like a pure electric chassis. specifically, the body size of the new car is 4830*1900*1780mm, and the wheelbase is 2815mm. both the size and wheelbase are standard for a mid-size fuel-powered suv.

in terms of exterior design, the new car is highly recognizable. in fact, to be fair, there are no exaggerated lines or eye-catching colors in its entire exterior design. most of its lines are straight, and it even looks a bit like the popular "square box". but with such straight lines and unexaggerated colors, the new car can also create a very strong visual impact. this can only be said that hyundai's designers are very good.

if the exterior is visually impactful, then the interior is even more visually impactful. this impact does not refer to the strange lines or colors it uses, or the extremely exaggerated center console detail design. rather, as a car with a starting price of less than 200,000 yuan, its interior is comparable to that of a luxury car! this is actually not an exaggeration at all. the high-end feel of the new car's interior is very similar to the interior style of traditional luxury cars such as range rover and land rover.

in fact, the texture and atmosphere of this interior are worth the money. in the 200,000 yuan starting price range, the interior of the fifth-generation santa fe is really the strongest in its class, and it has a significant gap with its japanese rivals.

the fifth-generation santa fe has five models, all of which are named like mobile phones, from low to high configuration, they are called air, pro, pro max and ultra. among them, pro is divided into two sub-versions, explorer pro and connoisseur pro, corresponding to the high and low configuration versions of pro respectively. it should also be noted that the promax and ultra are 6-seaters, while the other 3 are 5-seaters. it is not difficult to see from the names of the cars that the main selling models of the fifth-generation santa fe are the two pro versions.

the power unit is the same for the whole series, 247 horsepower 2.0t engine + 8at gearbox. except for the top-of-the-line ultra which is four-wheel drive, all other versions are front-wheel drive, but four-wheel drive is optional except for the air version. the suspension is a full-system rear multi-link suspension, and basic safety configurations and airbags are also standard for the whole series. korean cars have always been famous for their high configurations, and everyone is also very clear about this.

specifically speaking of configuration differences, except for the ultra version, the other four models all have ordinary reversing imaging systems, and the l2 system is standard for all models, but the lowest-equipped air version is not full-blooded l2. its l2 only has full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, lane centering and traffic sign recognition functions, while the other four models are all full-function l2. but it should also be noted here that the fifth-generation santa fe is only l2-level assisted driving, and it does not support high-level intelligent driving functions such as noa that are currently available on domestic cars.

in terms of other configurations, except for the lack of roof racks, rear privacy glass and sunroof in the air version, most of the configurations of the four models are similar. in addition, the air version also lacks voice control function. another configuration that is quite different in terms of sensory perception is that the air version does not have a full lcd instrument, but still retains mechanical pointers, with only a 4.2-inch screen in the center of the instrument, while the other models all have 12.3-inch full lcd instruments.

in fact, the air version is still very obviously lacking in configuration, while the second lowest configuration version, the explorer pro, which costs 218,800 yuan, is not only fully equipped, but most of the configurations are similar to other higher-level versions, and the price difference is not much compared with the lowest configuration version. therefore, as we mentioned at the beginning of the article, the main selling models of the fifth-generation santa fe are the two pro versions, and among the two pro versions, we recommend that you choose the explorer pro with a price of 218,800 yuan.
