Air Conditioning With Pollen Filter

Santa Fe R's air conditioning system, which includes a pollen filter, ensures a comfortable driving environment for occupants across all rows of seats. Santa Fe R Elite and Highlander (pictured) go a step further with automatic dual-zone climate control that incorporates a cluster ioniser.

In-Mirror Rear View Camera (Highlander)

A rear-view camera produces a live colour image that appears in an LCD display within the driver's rear-view mirror to make reversing safer and easier.

Push Button Start (Elite & Highlander)

The push button start, which can only be activated by an ID signal sent from your proximity key, offers cutting-edge convenience and ease, while adding a further level of theft deterrence.

Centre Console Cool Box (Elite & Highlander)

Whether you're on a long journey or a short trip, Santa Fe R Elite and Highlander models include a centre console cool box to keep your drinks and snacks nicely chilled.

Versatile & Spacious

Everyday family life requires a versatile vehicle with lots of space. Designed and built to accommodate the needs of the busy Australian family, the rear seats of Santa Fe R can be folded down to increase cargo capacity to more than 2,000 litres.

There's abundant storage for everything, including an upper storage compartment in the centre fascia, map pockets in all the door trims, a lockable illuminated glove box, front seat back pockets as well as cup holders in the front and back.

An easily accessible full-size spare alloy wheel is accommodated under the floor to maximise the usable space and enhance rear vision.

Rear Occupant Comfort

Santa Fe R ensures every occupant's comfort is considered. This includes air conditioning to all third seating rows (Elite & Highlander), map lamps for easy reading in second row seats and interior dome lamps that illuminate both the second and third rows. The centre armrest in the second row incorporates drink holders while the kerbside second row passenger seat tumbles forward to allow passengers easy access to the third row.

Performance

All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

The electronic "Torque On Demand" AWD system selects the optimum driving mode for the road conditions to provide all weather driving stability and superior handling.

Advanced R- Series Diesel Engine

The Santa Fe offers a powerful R-2.2 Common Rail Direct injection (CRDi) engine which features a Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) to minimise turbo lag and increase efficiency at higher engine speeds. The intercooled turbo engine produces a very impressive 436Nm of torque between 1800 to 2500 RPM and 145kW of power at 3,800 RPM (auto).

The new Santa Fe R powertrain provides exhilarating performance with power and torque that rivals the output of large petrol engines, yet is refined, quiet and clean and achieves the exceptional levels of economy that only modern Diesel technology can deliver.

Exceptional Efficiency & Economy

The environmentally friendly R-2.2 turbo Diesel produces significantly lower CO2 emissions and achieves an averaged urban and highway driving fuel efficiency of 6.7L/100km for the manual, and 7.5L/100km for the automatic*. On the open road, you'll get even better results.

A new alternator management system helps maximise fuel economy by eliminating drag on the engine, while with the six-speed manual Santa Fe R, an onboard 'ECO' coach indicates when the optimum gear shift point has been reached, to promote fuel-saving driving habits. The six-speed automatic includes a fuel consumption indicator that continually measure fuel efficiency.

Safety

ANCAP 5 Star Safety Rating

Santa Fe R is proud to have attained an ANCAP 5 star rating, the highest for a motor vehicle in Australia.

Anti-Skid Braking System (ABS) prevents the front wheels 'locking up' under heavy brake loads. This enables the driver to maintain steering control and avoid potentially dangerous situations while also minimising the total braking distance. Braking distance is assisted with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) whereby the braking force to the wheels is adjusted and maximised according to weight distribution in the car (e.g. passenger locations).

Similarly, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) combined with Traction Control System (TCS), helps you stay in control by keeping Santa Fe R stable on the road under dangerous conditions. Over-accelerating on slippery surfaces can cause the wheels to spin, reducing power and steering control. TCS momentarily applies the brakes on a spinning wheel until it regains traction with the road so that you stay in control.

Anti-Skid Braking System (ABS)

Reinforced Body Integrity

Santa Fe's passenger safety cell features a four-ring strengthened body, with rigid cabin and crush zones in the front and rear. There are four integrated rollover protection hoops, controlled crumple zones (front and rear) and side impact beams in each door.

Engine Immobiliser

Integrated into the vehicle security system, Santa Fe's engine immobiliser aids in thwarting theft, reassuring you when your vehicle is parked and left.

Hyundai Active Locking Operation (HALO)

In addition to remote keyless entry Santa Fe R offers extra personal security with the Hyundai Active Locking Operation (HALO)1 system, which locks all the doors when your driving speed reaches 40 km/h, and then unlocks them once the key is removed from the ignition. Front seat occupants can override the system to easily exit the car.

Seatbelts & Child Seat Anchor Points

Retractable, three-point seatbelts are standard throughout Santa Fe R, including those in the third row. Driver and front passenger seatbelts also feature pretensioners and four-stage height adjustment. Child safety is a priority with three child seat anchor points fitted to rear seats.

Active 'Anti-Whiplash' Head Restraint

Front active 'anti-whiplash' head restraints, standard on all Santa Fe R models, offer superior whiplash protection in a rear impact. They use the force of the occupant's body against the seatback to move the head restraint forward so that the head and neck of the front-seat occupant are supported.

Reverse Park Assist

When you're reverse parking or manoeuvring into tight spaces, the Reverse Park Assist's ultrasonic sensors give you added assurance by emitting a warning sound when you're getting too close to objects behind you.
