The second generation of the Santa Fe crossover (a pioneer in the mid-size SUV segment for the Korean manufacturer Hyundai) made its world premiere in January 2006 at the international exhibition in Detroit, and went on sale in April of the same year. In 2010, at the Frankfurt Show, the debut of an updated car took place, which received a noticeably refreshed appearance, a modernized interior and two new diesel engines under the hood. The “Korean” remained on the assembly line until 2012, when a third-generation model arrived to replace it.
Large, heavy and textured, but not without graceful outlines, the body of the “second Santa Fe” looks interesting and respectable. And if you close the brand emblem, then it can even be mistaken for a much more prestigious model. The powerful appearance of the crossover is emphasized by massive sides with developed “muscles”, a large radiator grille, large rims, predatory “squinted” head optics and a pair of trapezoidal exhaust pipes.
The external dimensions of the 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe indicate, as we have already noted, that it belongs to the class of mid-size crossovers: 4660 mm in length, 1890 mm in width and 1760 mm in height. The wheelbase of the car is limited by a 2700 mm gap between the front and rear axles, and the ground clearance in the loaded position is 203 mm.
The interior of the “second” Hyundai Santa Fe not only looks stylish, but also features high functionality and high-quality finishing materials. Directly in front of the driver is a large steering wheel with two blocks of buttons between the hubs, adjustable both in height and reach. The instrument panel with a standard set of readings and large digitization has a simple but modern design.
The symmetrical “aluminum” console in the center of the front panel is framed by elegant air duct deflectors and looks strictly and concisely. It houses a 2-DIN audio system and a large climate control system with a custom monochrome display. The decoration of the crossover is made of high-quality plastics, diluted with aluminum and wood inserts, and the seats are clad in excellent leather (with the exception of the initial versions).
The front seats of the 2nd generation Santa Fe are endowed with wide adjustments and tangible support on the sides, but the cushion is somewhat short. But on the back sofa there is real freedom - there is plenty of space for three passengers, and for greater convenience the back of the rear sofa can be adjusted to the angle of inclination.
In the five-seater version, the luggage compartment of the Korean crossover is impressive in volume - 774 liters of usable space, to which is also added a spacious niche in the underground (the spare wheel is hung “outside” - under the bottom). The split backrest of the second row folds down to create a flat floor and a volume of 1,582 liters.
Specifications. For the Russian market, the “second Santa Fe” was equipped with two power units to choose from:
- The gasoline version is a four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with distributed fuel injection with a volume of 2.4 liters, releasing 174 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 226 Nm of torque at 3750 rpm.
- The diesel side is supported by an in-line “four” with a turbocharging system, which, with a working volume of 2.2 liters, generates 197 “horses” of potential at 3800 rpm and 421 Nm of possible thrust, available in the range from 1800 to 2500 rpm.
For each engine, manual and automatic transmissions are available (in both cases with six gears). By default, this Hyundai crossover is equipped with an all-wheel drive system, which under normal conditions supplies the entire supply of traction to the front axle, and if one of the wheels slips, up to 50% of its share goes to the rear axle. This entire process is controlled by an electronically controlled multi-plate friction clutch.
The gasoline modification "Santa Fe 2" requires 10.7-11.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h at a maximum speed of 186-190 km/h, while the diesel version is somewhat more dynamic - 9.8-10.2 seconds and 190 km/h, respectively.
In the combined cycle, a 174-horsepower car consumes an average of 8.7-8.8 liters of fuel, and a 197-horsepower car consumes 6.8-7.2 liters.
The basis for the second generation Santa Fe is the front-wheel drive architecture of the Hyundai Sonata sedan. The design of the front axle includes MacPherson struts, and the rear axle has an independent multi-link suspension. A hydraulic booster is “implanted” into the steering device, and the braking system is represented by discs on all wheels (ventilated at the front) with ABS and ESC.
Options and prices. For the 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe crossover in 2015 on the Russian secondary market, on average, they ask from 700,000 to 1,200,000 rubles - the final cost is influenced by the year of manufacture, condition, equipment and version of the installed engine. Even at the simplest level, the “Korean” is well equipped - ABS, airbags, dual-zone climate control, power steering, fog lights, heated front seats, power windows on four doors and a standard audio system.
12 FebMy review of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2 2.2 diesel
Today we’ll talk about the second model of Santa, and to be more precise, we’ll listen to reviews of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2 2.2 diesel. We’ll find out what kind of car it is, what’s good about it, and what’s not so good, and we’ll just get the opinion of one of the owners of this car.
It took me a long time to choose the car, I looked at various reviews, videos on the Internet, and compared the technical characteristics with other similar cars.
- Nissan X-Trail
- Pathfinder
- VW Tiguan
- And even a Hyundai Mojave
But in the end I came to the conclusion that in terms of service and fuel consumption, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi 4WD would be preferable to my needs, large, wide, huge trunk, connected rear axle up to 40 km/h, all this completely suited me.
I drive mainly in the city and country roads in the summer, rarely through rural deep mud, maybe 15 times a year, give or take.
I took a 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe car from one of the showrooms for a drive test, I really liked everything, it drives briskly, I don’t need floor-length slippers since I drive calmly and very steadily, I mostly drive my family. I liked the hydraulic booster, it’s not too weak and not too loaded, it makes you feel the strength of the car very well. I chose a manual transmission, I just got used to it and that’s it, I have nothing against automatic transmissions, except maybe increased fuel consumption. But they switch very smoothly and in most modern cars they last up to 100 thousand kilometers without any maintenance.
Hyundai Santa Fe 2 2.2 diesel owner review
To some, the Santa Fe may seem rustic both inside and out, but I don’t need to go to exhibitions, my priority is reliability and functionality. Anyone who remembers the first Santa Fe understands what a reliable car is.
On average, the fuel consumption of a Hyundai Santa Fe 2 on the highway is 8 liters in the city - 10, this is on a 2.2 CRDi engine, let's, by the way, give a breakdown of CRDi, since I myself didn’t really know this until I purchased this car.
CRDi is an abbreviation that literally means Common Rail Direct Injection, which in translation can be roughly interpreted as direct fuel injection into the highway.
The meaning of this system is that it provides constant independent pressure throughout the entire fuel supply system, regardless of the crankshaft rotation speed. While in the most common injector, diesel fuel is supplied to the injectors at the lowest pressure.
It turned out that in Common Rail Direct Injection or CRDi the injection process was divided into two stages:
- The first is responsible for creating and maintaining constant pressure
- The second is the injection process itself.
The use of this technology provides advantages both in terms of ecology and in reducing fuel consumption by up to 25%.
The Hyundai Santa Fe 2 2.2 engine produces 150 horses, which is not at all weak for a diesel engine, here are other characteristics of this crossover:
I read a lot of reviews of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2 2.2 diesel in my configuration, I noticed both negativity and delight. On the negative side, I noticed that they often complain about diesel engines, but this is most likely due to the quality of our diesel fuel, especially since CRDi is demanding in this matter. But, nevertheless, in my city I know several high-quality gas stations that have been tested by time, so I didn’t give up diesel. And here .
Hyundai Santa Fe 2 owner reviews diesel
If I often traveled long distances or made frequent trips outside my city, then I would also take a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 4WD, but it must be in gasoline. Because it’s very expensive to change injectors and pumps on a diesel engine, and if you pour in all sorts of crap of unknown origin from an unknown gas station, then you can pump up the entire engine in one fill-up and then it’s very easy to pay money for repairs and it’s not a fact that they’ll also fix it qualitatively.
I repeat once again, I took diesel solely for reasons of economy and the fact that I only drive in the city and know the exact places with high-quality diesel fuel; in other options and under other conditions I would only take gasoline.
By the way, it is worth noting that the standard sound insulation of the Hyundai Santa Fe is very high quality, in my personal opinion it is simply wonderful and sometimes better than some people who get additional sound insulation for money.
My Hyundai Santa Fe 2 restyling, more precisely, 2010, the appearance has been slightly changed compared to 2008. models, but not too significantly.
In this post - reviews of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2 2.2 diesel, I did not specifically pay attention to such things as the radio, speakers, plastic, etc., since this is my review, and my requirements came down solely to the practicality of the car, its size and savings in parts and fuel , well, the presence of an air conditioner for the summer, and a stove that heats in winter, by the way the stove heats very well - in fact, these are all my requirements for this car, it meets them 100%, that’s why I say that yes Hyundai Santa Fe 2 generation, this is an excellent crossover without frills; if you want even more reliability, take it strictly in the gasoline version.

The crossover (updated in 2015) shares a platform with several Kia-Hyundai models. In terms of technical characteristics, the car closest to the Santa Fe is, at the same time, the front suspension of the all-terrain vehicle is similar in design to. In Russia, the 2015-2016 restyled model is offered with two engines: a 2.4-liter Theta II petrol (171 hp) and a 2.2-liter CRDi diesel engine (200 hp). Both engines have been produced for quite a long time, but modernization has allowed them to breathe a second life. The gasoline unit is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the diesel unit is equipped with only an automatic transmission.
The Hyundai Santa Fe's all-wheel drive system includes a Dynamax rear clutch with electro-hydraulic control. The Drive Mode switch activates the Sport mode, which provides a more sensitive response to the accelerator pedal and intense acceleration in low gears.
The 2.4 petrol engine is not capable of providing a heavy car with good acceleration dynamics. A tandem with a manual transmission allows you to reach 100 km/h in 11.0 seconds. The diesel Hyundai Santa Fe is much more efficient - it completes the same exercise in 9.6 seconds. Plus, diesel is economical, consuming an average of about 7.8 liters of diesel fuel. The fuel consumption of Santa Fe 2.4 according to the passport is at least 9.5 liters (modification with a manual transmission).

The crossover was created on the Hyundai Sonata platform and was aimed primarily at the US market. The controversial exterior of the first generation Santa Fe did not prevent it from becoming popular and successful.
The model occupies an intermediate position between crossovers (Tucson) and (Veracruz). The first generation Santa Fe went on sale in 2001. The model was available in front- and all-wheel drive versions with manual or automatic transmission.

In 2006, the second generation Hyundai Santa Fe II was introduced. The crossover received a new design and technical content. Throughout the production period, minor innovations were introduced into the car, and in 2010 a large-scale facelift was carried out.
The overall length of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2 is 4,660 mm, width - 1,890, height - 1,760. Ground clearance is 200 mm, and trunk volume, depending on the position of the seats, can vary from 774 to 1,582 liters.
The design of the first generation Santa Fe was characterized by both journalists and consumers as quite controversial. The second generation of the crossover acquired more classic and simple forms, but, at the same time, began to look richer.
The penultimate facelift of 2010 did not change the appearance of the car much - new bumpers and a false radiator grille are noticeable at first glance. In the exterior of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2 it is difficult to find straight and faceted shapes; smooth curved lines predominate throughout. Classic shapes indicate the desire of the designers to give the car an elegant look.
In 2011, Hyundai once again slightly updated the Santa Fe II - the crossover acquired 18-inch wheels with a new design, different bumpers, received different roof rails and fog lamp edging.
The interior of the Santa Fe II can be described as not cheap, but not original either. Among the details that do not copy trends in the class is the design of the instrument panel: indicators are placed in three “rings”, and the diameter of the speedometer scale is larger than the diameter of the tachometer scale. The rest (steering wheel, door cards, center console, seats) is a typical representative of the class.
At the time of sales, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2 was available with two in-line 4-cylinder 16-valve engines - the Theta II 2.4 I4 petrol and the R 2.2 CRDi turbodiesel. The base 2.4-liter petrol unit develops 174 hp. at 6,000 rpm. and maximum torque of 226 Nm at 3,750 rpm.
The diesel engine with a displacement of 2.2 liters produces 197 hp. at 3,800 rpm, and peak torque of 421 Nm is available in the rev range from 1,800 to 2,500 rpm. Both engines are paired with 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions.
The crossover was presented to dealers in four trim levels: Base, Comfort, Style and Elegance. The basic Hyundai Santa Fe II with a gasoline engine, manual transmission and front-wheel drive in the Base configuration was estimated at 1,079,900 rubles.
This version was equipped with front and side airbags, curtain airbags, seat belt pretensioners and active head restraints, ABS, EBD, immobilizer, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control with ionization function, central locking, audio system with control buttons on the steering wheel, fabric upholstery and 17 -inch alloy wheels.
The all-wheel drive Hyundai Santa Fe 2 with a turbodiesel and automatic transmission in the Elegance+Navi package cost RUB 1,654,900. Its equipment additionally included ESP, xenon headlights with washer and auto-corrector, parking sensors, 8-way power driver's seat, power passenger seat, rear view camera (display in the rear view mirror), keyless entry and an engine start button.
In addition, the top version of the Santa Fe II had a tire pressure monitoring system, a cooled box in the driver's armrest, an electric sunroof, cruise control, a navigation system, a light sensor, leather interior trim, heat-insulating windshield and front side windows, as well as 18- inch alloy wheels.
In the summer of 2012, the manufacturer presented it for the Russian market. For some time, both models were sold in parallel, but then the 2nd generation car completely disappeared from dealer showrooms.
