But, here in this section also the revolutionary developments have been done by auto majors in which Hyundai is also the one who is famous for its hatchback cars like Hyundai Santro Xing, i10, i20 and i40 and freshly launched entry-level car Hyundai Eon.

For first time it has made its entry in premium SUV segment by Hyundai Santa Fe and achieved the expansion of its business portfolio. For the company it’s must to have so because most of its competitors are enduring here since long like General Motors by the means of Chevrolet Captiva, Honda Motors by Honda CR-V, Toyota Motors by Toyota Fortuner, and Mitsubishi by Mitsubishi Pajero. But among them Toyota Fortuner is its direct rival against whom it has get launched by Hyundai Motors.

But, the major part of performance has been embracing by engine’s active moves. So, it’s must to have powerful engine atleast in SUV because they are being developed to be dynamic over roads.

So, by Hyundai engineers the packaging of 2.2 liter R CRDi has been fixed for Santa Fe engine so that it can have 197 Ps of power at 3800 rpm and 42.9 Kgm of torque at 2500 rpm. Whereas, against it, the Fortuner engine has powered by 3.0 liter D-4D of packaging with Intercooler Turbocharger and 4-Cylinder in-line technology.
