2019 Hyundai Santa Fe - All the details
If you have been looking to buy a new SUV in Malaysia, it is likely that you would have stumbled upon the recently launched 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. Making its first public appearance at the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) 2018, the Santa Fe has reached its fourth-generation.
Hyundai has got a firm hold of the Malaysian car market, and the latest Santa Fe helps it to do so with that much more strength and capacity. This shows that Santa Fe plays a vital role in Hyundai Malaysia’s growth. Here are all the details that you would need to know about the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe.
We like the way Hyundai has categorised the Santa Fe. Basically, there are two engine options - petrol and diesel - and both of them are available in Executive and Premium trims. This allows the customer to make a choice and go ahead with it easily. There aren’t options to confuse him/her. Good job, Hyundai!
How is this type of categorisation helpful?
Ans. This way customer would not lose out on various premium features. Companies tend to provide more premium features in petrol variants of cars than diesel variants because the formers are less expensive than the latter.
What are Santa Fe’s engine options?
Ans. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe specs list two engine options. First, we have the 2.4-litre petrol engine. The second engine option is the 2.2-litre diesel mill.

What are the key exterior features of the Hyundai Santa Fe?
Ans. As we mentioned earlier, both the engine options come in both Executive and Premium trims. This means that whatever differences are there, they will be between the trims and not the engine options. Following are the key exterior Santa Fe features-
Features | Executive Trim | Premium Trim |
Headlamp | Projection Halogen | Bi Function LED Projection |
DRL | Dedicated LED | |
Position Lamp | LED | |
Dynamic Bending Light | N/A | Standard |
Rear Lamp Combination | Bulb Type | LED Type |
Fog Lamp | Front only Bulb Type | Front & Rear LED Type |

Clearly, the Premium Trim offers more features on the outside, and if we had to buy a Santa Fe, we would go with the Premium Trim. Why? Just have a look at the car from the rear. You will know what we are talking about (3D-type LED taillights).
Similarly, the interior features are divided in the same fashion.
Following are some important ones-

- 6 airbags
