New 2013 Hyundai model- Santa Fe IX45

[Lemonade78]

 

There is rumours saying that this model will get the 2.0 turbo 6-speed petrol engine having 260-274hp....and for big family, its a 7 seater will be the best suitable 7pax carrier that is powerful enough to make your drive more fun and also save more $$$ than getting a conti SUV...by introducing the Hyundai new turbo engine into our shore, it definitely can increase its sales just like VW is doing...hope its not just a dream for Hyundai fans

Agree...like i45..too much chrome. the new elantra's grille looks better

[Darkblue]

Chrome or matt black or other fancy colours can be easily done at accessories shop.

 

Turbo engine is the key component, coupled with aftermarket software upgrades it is going to be a popular choice.

 

Its no wonder VW went to no.2 in the world in terms of sales chart.

Ugly front like the i45. Rear still ok...Abit copy of Q7 look.

Yah...the grille can be done at accessories shop and can even put a BMW nose, Benz star or whatever Grille you can think of to make your ride more fierce...Hahahaa!!!

 

Anyway, most importantly is the engine that given to this car.....if its the 2 litre Turbo GDI unit, it gonna be an exciting and fruitful year for our local Hyundai SE.... just see what VW has transform from a laughing stock into a world top sales ranking brand.

 

Sooner or later, If the Japanese's brand is still dreaming that they are the best in the world and not wanting to improve or keep on cost-cutting.....then they can just follow the footstep of "KODAK" and become History!!!

anyway.... there are always reports of hyundai/kia TURBO engines, in its genesis, optima etc etc...

 

they have never ever reached our shores.

 

and 2.0T won't move the sales... unless 1.6TT

[Lycanthrope]

finally .........this will be my car in the next 2 years ......hopefully kia sorento will follow suit

All this 2.0T or 1.6T from Hyundai are available oversea, just that the local AD never bring it in.

i doubt they will bring in the turbo engine variant. the most give us 2.0L GDi engine, can laugh already.

Yeap. The 2.0GDi Nu 178bhp engine is on the i40, as advertised in today's "Straits Times".

[Coupecabriolet]

that engine good enough lah for daily drive.

 

it makes no sense to bring in turbo version for the SUV but not for the sedan i45 which by right, should have more demand.

[Rezorn86]

ka ching abit looks like Murano...
