Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Greet Singapore Market, When Is Indonesia?

JAKARTA - Singapore's Komoco Motors or Hyundai adds to the line of environmentally friendly cars for the local market, by launching the All New Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid in Dusit Thani Laguna.

Quoting from the SG Carbuyer page, Monday, June 24, this SUV has a futuristic design thanks to the presence of several dynamic curves, and looks resilient thanks to the presence of a 20-inch wheel.

"Since the debut of the first generation of SANTA FE 23 years ago, this iconic SUV has won the hearts of millions of customers around the world," said Hyundai Motor Company President and CEO Jaehoon Chang.

The interesting thing offered from this car is behind the hood of the engine, where it comes in a hybrid turbo. Santa Fe Hybrid in Singapore comes in two variants, namely the standard Turbo Hybrid and Turbo Hybrid Calligraphy.

The two variants presented use 1,600 cc turbo hybrid gasoline, which is capable of generating 215 hp and torques reaching 367 Nm. This machine is paired with an automatic transmission of 6 accelerations, providing an optimal combination of fuel performance and efficiency.

"The bold and powerful All-New Santa Fe identity, which includes an outdoor and urban landscape without limits, will build an unrivaled presence in the medium size SUV market," he added.

On the same occasion, Executive Chairman of Komoco Motors Pte Ltd Teo Hock Seng revealed that the 2024 Santa Fe SUV represents Hyundai's breakthrough in a refined style and higher taste.

"This model proves that Hyundai is capable of combining impressive designs with practicality, while maintaining the core of creating a reliable and safe and environmentally friendly car," said Teo.

Hyundai has only marketed one type of Santa Fe Hybrid, namely Calligraphy which is priced at 277,999 Singapore dollars or equivalent to Rp3.3 billion.

As is known, Hyundai Indonesia also does not deny the possibility of bringing the Hybrid Santa Fe model to the Indonesian market. As revealed by the Chief Marketing Officer of Hyundai Motors Indonesia, Budi Nur Mukmin.

"There will always be scenarios, but I can't talk right now, whether Santa Fe will have a hybrid variant or not, which is definitely currently focused on electric cars," he said, some time ago in Jakarta.

Will this year the model also be present? Of course it is worth the wait.
