Santa Fe best in field, says NZ4WD

Santa Fe best in field, says NZ4WD

It’s drawn praise and accolades worldwide for several years, and now the Hyundai Santa Fe has been named the best mid-sized SUV by NZ4WD magazine.

The leading publication, trusted as much by the off-road community as by city drivers, recognises Hyundai’s leadership of the New Zealand market.

“Naturally we are delighted with this award from such a prestigious publication,” commented Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau.

“People often think of the Santa Fe as a city vehicle, for families on the school run and Saturday sport, and we sometimes forget its prowess off-road.

“This is a timely reminder of what a well-equipped all-rounder the Santa Fe is.”

Ever since it burst into the Kiwi consciousness with its cute TV toddlers heading off to the beach, the Santa Fe has positioned itself over the years as New Zealand’s family wagon.

It bristles with new-age technology. The Santa Fe’s new R-Series diesel engines provide more power, torque and fuel efficiency, while the Theta-II petrol engine variants are truly world-class.

The Santa Fe incorporates advanced safety features such as rollover sensors and, timely in New Zealand right now, a rear-view camera.

“We’re certainly excited to have the Santa Fe here in New Zealand over the last few years, to show the kiwi motoring public just how versatile and economic this model really is and also to demonstrate that it is one of the cleanest and greenest diesel vehicles available on the market.”
