Hyundai Santa Fe, Creta, Tucson: test drive experience
HTV inaugurates "Unique Style Leads the Way" at Aeon Mall Ha Dong with the Spot robot and a range of Santa Fe, Creta, and Tucson vehicles. Visitors can test drive, interact with the robot, receive an 8-year warranty, and get financial support up to 200 million VND.
Hyundai Thanh Cong Vietnam inaugurated its "Unique Style Leads the Way" event series at Aeon Mall Ha Dong, focusing on test drives of the Santa Fe, Creta, and Tucson models, as well as a demonstration of the Spot robot. Visitors can directly drive, observe the technology, and receive October promotions, including extended warranties of up to 8 years and financial support of up to 200 million VND.
In addition to showcasing vehicles, the Spot robot became a technological highlight, allowing viewers to interact directly and visualize how smart mobility solutions can support humans in real-world operating environments.
Experience the technology and test drive: the focus of the event.
According to the organizers, the main activity of "Unique Style Leads the Way" is allowing visitors to test drive Hyundai's currently popular models: Santa Fe, Creta, and Tucson. Each test drive focuses on the driving feel and the differences in design, technology, and safety features between the models, thereby helping users make a choice that suits their needs.
Simultaneously, visitors can interact with the Spot robot – a mobile robotic platform that demonstrates Hyundai's approach to the future of smart mobility solutions through sensor technology, environmental awareness, and automated operation.
Design language: diverse brand identity across different segments.
Through the display area, viewers can directly compare the different design approaches between the Santa Fe, Creta, and Tucson. Differences in body proportions, surface styling, and exterior detail accents clearly reflect segment positioning, from urban cars to large family SUVs. Placing the models side-by-side makes the visual evaluation process quick and intuitive.
Cabin and user experience
On-site experiential activities allowed participants to quickly check the cockpit layout, control interface, and usable space of each model. According to observations at the event, visitors paid attention to usability and supporting technology – factors that make a difference in daily use. The goal of the experience was to help drivers get a firsthand feel for the convenience and user-friendliness of the infotainment and connectivity systems.
Performance and driving feel
During the test drive, steering feel, ride comfort, and overall responsiveness are of great interest to many. Because it's an on-the-spot experience, detailed performance evaluations depend on specific conditions and test drive duration. However, being able to directly drive allows visitors to get a basic understanding of the vehicle's handling characteristics before making a more informed decision.
Safety and technology: Spot the robot as an icon
The Spot robot is presented as a bridge between humans and intelligent mobility solutions. Launched in 2022, Spot is designed to operate in a variety of harsh environments. Its sensor system, including stereo cameras, depth sensors, and lidar, allows the robot to create 3D maps, move flexibly, and safely across complex terrain.
The new version of Spot features an upgraded 6-DOF robotic arm, allowing for precise grasping, carrying, opening doors, or rotating valves. A 4K camera and LED lights support observation, object processing, and automated task execution in environments with human presence. Allowing visitors to interact directly with Spot clarifies how sensor-based, cognitive platforms can support safe operation in real-world scenarios.
| Ingredient | Key technical description |
|---|---|
| Functionality | Designed for harsh environments, with flexible mobility. |
| Environmental awareness | Stereo camera, depth sensor, lidar; 3D mapping. |
| Operation | The arm has 6 degrees of freedom; it can grasp, carry, open doors, and rotate valves. |
| Observe | 4K camera, LED lights to assist in object recognition and processing. |
| Release date | 2022 |
Value and positioning in October
In October, Hyundai offered incentives on several models, including extended warranties of up to 8 years and financing support of up to 200 million VND. These incentives aim to reduce initial ownership costs and increase customer peace of mind during the initial period of use.
Following its stop at Aeon Mall Ha Dong, the "Unique Style Leads the Way" series is expected to continue at Gigamall Thu Duc (October 25-26, 2025) and Aeon Mall Tan Phu (November 15-16, 2025), providing users in the Southern region with the opportunity to have a similar experience.
Conclusion: A concise experience, emphasizing technology.
The unique design creates a clean, intuitive space for users to test drive vehicles and experience technology. Strengths lie in seamless test drives, a comprehensive display of flagship models, and a Spot robot demonstration that clarifies Hyundai's technological direction.
Conversely, in-depth performance evaluations and detailed comparisons of specifications require more time and specialized testing conditions. However, for those considering the Santa Fe, Creta, or Tucson, a test drive and information on October offers provide a good basis for moving to the next step.
