Recently, Hyundai Motor released a preview of the new Santa Cruz, and stated that the car will adopt a new styling design and upgrade the vehicle performance, but the specific information has not been disclosed. The new car will be officially unveiled at the New York Auto Show, let us look forward to it together.
As can be seen from the preview image, the new car’s grille will adopt a rectangular layout and will be equipped with a blackened logo of the same color. The rear part of the car was exposed using a manuscript. It seems that the new car will have a wide body design, and the lower body shape will also be slightly adjusted.
Overseas media speculated that the Ford Maverick, the biggest competitor of Hyundai Santa Cruz, has added an FX4 version and is equipped with original skid plates and off-road tires to greatly improve its off-road performance. The XRT kit version previously launched by Santa Cruz was not extreme enough in terms of off-road performance, so it is likely to be upgraded. In addition, the new Santa Cruz is also expected to upgrade the ergonomic design of the car and be equipped with the latest infotainment system and driver assistance functions, etc.
In terms of power, for reference, the current Santa Cruz offers a variety of power options, including 2.4L naturally aspirated and 2.0T turbocharged engines, with maximum powers of 185 horsepower and 238 horsepower respectively, while the XRT version is equipped with a 2.5T turbocharged engine. The engine has a maximum power of 285 horsepower, the transmission system is matched with an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and is equipped with an HTRAC four-wheel drive system. For more information about the new car, we will continue to pay attention to the report.
