Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) will launch the facelifted version of the fourth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe in Malaysia soon<\/a>. This is after it recently announced on its LinkedIn page that Sime Darby Hyundai Integrated (SHDI) had signed a certificate of mass production with Inokom to begin production of the heavily refreshed three-row SUV.<\/p>\n

The fourth-generation Santa Fe was first launched here back in May 2019<\/a> as a locally-assembled (CKD) model, several months before the Korean carmaker revealed the facelift in June 2020<\/a>. When it went on sale, the Santa Fe was offered in both petrol and diesel variants.<\/p>\n

As for now, the Santa Fe has been removed from HSDM\u2019s official website, which, last we checked, listed two diesel variants, namely the Executive SE 2WD that was priced at RM196,888<\/a> on-the-road without insurance and the Executive Plus SE 2WD<\/a> at RM215,888.<\/p>\n

Changes that come with the facelift include a new front end that sees two tiers of lighting instead of three, with the small fog lamps in the lower section of the bumper omitted. The grille has also been redesigned for a full-width look by visually merging with the headlamps, which have vertical light strips that to form a T-shaped signature with the uppermost daytime running lights. <\/p>\n

At the rear, the LED taillights are connected by a slim illuminated bar that replaces a chrome bar, while the design of the rear bumper is also new and has a longer reflector strip. Hyundai also pointed out a switch to the N3 platform (previously Y7), which is surprising for a facelift, and together with the styling tweaks, brings about minor changes to the dimensions, which are as follows:<\/p>\n
