The Hyundai Santa Fe: Unveiling the Ultimate Driving Experience in Vietnam.

The car is distributed in 5 different versions with a suggested retail price from VND 1,069 billion (including VAT).

In 2014, the Hyundai Santa Fe 3rd generation was officially produced and distributed in Vietnam. This is also the first time that Thanh Cong Group applied a fully automatic robot welding line at Hyundai Thanh Cong Ninh Binh factory, along with a global quality control process, bringing “made in Vietnam” Santa Fe quality along with high stability after many years of use. The 4th generation of Santa Fe was introduced in January 2019 and immediately received great favor and high appreciation from customers. Up to now, this generation has achieved a cumulative sales volume of over 53,000 units, becoming the leading model in the D-SUV segment in the Vietnamese market.

The success of the previous generations has created no small pressure for a completely new Hyundai Santa Fe. And beyond expectations and imagination, the All-New Santa Fe was officially introduced in the US in November 2023, surprising the global media and creating a craving for any customer. And immediately after its launch, the 5th generation Santa Fe won prestigious international awards, such as the Red Dot Award 2024 design award and the iF Design Award 2024.

To continue the leading position, Hyundai Thanh Cong Auto Joint Venture has officially introduced the 5th generation Santa Fe assembled in Vietnam. And with unprecedented breakthroughs, the all-new Santa Fe will surely bring truly special experiences to domestic customers.

Characteristic exterior design in the form of a boxy box

The new generation Santa Fe has an exterior design style in the form of a boxy boxy SUV, with a high-positioned lighting cluster and hood, creating a strong and sporty overall feel.

Equipped with a completely new generation of SmartStream engines

Santa Fe 5th generation is equipped with a completely new generation of Hyundai Smartstream engines. This is a generation of engines that apply new materials, helping to reduce weight, lower the center of gravity, increase durability and be environmentally friendly.

Smartstream Theta III 2.5L gasoline engine (code G4KN) uses direct GDI gasoline injection technology for a maximum capacity of 194 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and maximum torque of 246Nm at 4,000 rpm. The engine operates at a compression ratio of 13:1, providing better fuel combustion efficiency and thermal efficiency than the old engine generation. The version using this engine comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth and fuel-efficient operation.

2.5L Turbo gasoline engine (code G4KP) with direct GDI gasoline injection technology combined with turbocharging for a maximum capacity of 281 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and maximum torque of 422Nm at 1,700 – 4,000 rpm. Accompanying this engine is a completely new 8-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission (8DCT). The new 8DCT wet clutch maintains fast shifting capability while increasing torque resistance by 58% thanks to optimized cooling efficiency by soaking the clutch plates in a dedicated cooling liquid solution. This combination helps the Santa Fe Turbo to accelerate from 0-100km/h in less than 8 seconds.

All versions are equipped with a Drive Mode system with 4 modes: Eco – Comfort – Sport – Smart offering different experiences for each customer. The model continues to use the HTRAC intelligent all-wheel drive system that can adjust the variable torque distribution ratio on the wheels. At the same time, HTRAC on Santa Fe is supplemented with 3 Terrain Mode terrain modes: Snow (Snow), Sand (Sand), Mud (Mud).

The new generation Santa Fe continues to be used with the Hyundai SmartSense active safety technology package with many driver assistance features:

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist System FCA: This system will warn and support automatic braking to help reduce the possibility of a frontal collision. The system can also recognize and analyze situations with cars, bicycles and pedestrians for reasonable intervention. FCA on Santa Fe also has the effect of supporting braking when the car is cornering and encountering an obstacle.

Blind-Spot View Monitor & Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist BVM & BCA: This system is an upgrade and supplement to the Blind-Spot Collision Warning BCW. In addition to radar, this system uses 2 wide-angle cameras to increase the driver’s field of view.
