5 reasons why Hyundai Santa Fe attracts Vietnamese customers

Since its presence in Vietnam, Hyundai Santa Fe has won the trust of consumers in its quality and achieved tens of thousands of vehicles sold.

Specifically, there were about 12,500 imported Santa Fe cars delivered to customers in the period 2007-2013. In particular, with the domestically assembled version, in less than 1 year, Hyundai Thanh Cong also managed to produce 4,000 cars. This shows that Santa Fe has become one of the top choices of consumers, in the context of the large SUV/Crossover segment in Vietnam is very harsh with many brands participating, requiring the highest requirements on product quality.

Hyundai Santa Fe has beautiful exterior design and durable operation.

Let's take a look at some of the main reasons that are creating a strong attraction for consumers:

Storm Edge Design

The current generation Hyundai Santa Fe has a new design inspired by Storm Edge with straight, strong and modern lines, different from the previous generation with many curves.

The exterior of the car stands out with xenon projector headlights and a luxurious chrome-plated grille. The electrically adjustable rearview mirrors with integrated turn signals and LED taillights give the car an overall elegant, strong and powerful look. The large 19cm diameter rims create an impressive shape.

Powerful engine

Hyundai Santa Fe 2015 has 2 options of front-wheel drive 2WD or 4-wheel drive 4WD to meet the maximum needs of moving in the city, on the highway or on difficult terrain. In addition, the 4-wheel drive system integrates a center differential lock.

The car uses 2 engine versions: Theta II 2.4L MPI gasoline engine for maximum capacity of 176 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 227 Nm at 3,750 rpm. This Hyundai engine gives a smooth, gentle operating feeling suitable for moving on beautiful roads.

In particular, the 2.2 CRD-i Diesel engine version with eVGT electronically controlled turbocharger produces a maximum capacity of 197 horsepower at 3,800 rpm, maximum torque of 436 Nm at 1,800-2,500 rpm. This is a highly rated Diesel engine cluster when it overcomes the disadvantages of noise and vibration of traditional diesel engines, while significantly improving capacity and efficiency. Both of these engine versions use a 6-speed automatic transmission, suitable for operating conditions in Vietnam, increasing engine performance when used.

Rich amenities

Hyundai Santa Fe is a Crossover equipped with many top-notch amenities, usually only equipped on luxury cars. Typically, the electronic handbrake system. With this feature, the driver only needs to use 1 finger to press or flick up to activate or deactivate the handbrake conveniently and safely. The automatic anti-jamming door system is safe for the user. The panoramic sunroof provides an airy space for the driver in the cabin.

In particular, the 8-inch DVD screen of Santa Fe is integrated with the Navigation map developed by Hyundai specifically for the Vietnamese market. The screen integrates a rear camera, a bilingual navigation system (English - Vietnamese) for convenience on trips. In addition, the 3 driving modes Normal - Eco - Sport also bring interesting experiences to the driver.

Durable Operation

Not only in this new generation, previous generations of SantaFe are also highly appreciated for their durable operation. Due to the optimization of manufacturing materials as well as production technology, Santa Fe always proves to be a quite "stubborn" car when moving, even when going through harsh or difficult operating conditions. The car rarely falls into a state of having to stop in the middle of the road due to damage or unnecessary minor errors despite being equipped with many modern technological utilities. The interesting point is that despite its durable operation, people sitting in Santa Fe always feel very comfortable and convenient.

Low Cost of Use - High Liquidity

Although it is a relatively expensive car, equipped with many high-tech utilities, the operating cost of Santa Fe is not high. According to many owners, the cost of periodic maintenance after 5,000 km is only over 1 million VND for the whole car, and there are often discounts. In addition, the car rarely needs to be repaired or replaced because the components are quite durable.

The car is considered to have a fairly high liquidity value.

In addition, a very important point when deciding to buy a car in Vietnam is the low depreciation value when reselling, many people even use this criterion as a deciding factor when buying a car. When referring to the used car market, the resale value of Santa Fe is quite good, many models from 2008-2009 still have a selling price of 800-900 million VND. The reason can be explained by the fact that the car itself is durable, does not break down, and is highly reliable, so it is favored by many consumers when looking to buy a used car.
