Hyundai stars of today and tomorrow at Geneva |
| 27 Feb 2006 |
Two major new models are taking centre stage on the Hyundai stand at this week's Geneva Motor Show, representing both key elements in its current major product initiative and a vision of the kind of vehicle that will be meeting motorists' desires in the not-too-distant future.
'SEVEN-UP' FOR NEW SANTA FE
The all-new Santa Fe SUV, which is set to reach UK showrooms later this year, makes its first European appearance at Geneva. The larger dimensions of this second-generation model enable it to offer seven-seat accommodation - a major advance for the Santa Fe range.
Passenger comfort and on-road handling have been improved, while the new styling is tailored specifically to appeal to European tastes. These qualities combine an impressive package, supported by Hyundai's trademark quality, performance, reliability and style.
The new Santa Fe will be offered with an upgraded version of Hyundai's top-performing 2.7-litre V6 petrol engine, plus a 2.2-litre common rail diesel with Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) for smooth power delivery and excellent fuel economy.
FIRST VIEW OF HYUNDAI GENUS CONCEPT
Genus is a new Hyundai concept vehicle that makes its world debut at Geneva. It is a premium crossover model, designed to bring together the sporting dynamism of a coupe and the versatility of an estate car.
Genus has been created by Hyundai's European design centre in Russelsheim, Germany, with styling inspired by the natural forms of waves and sand dunes. As a concept, it previews the type of vehicle Hyundai believes will respond to the developing customer tastes and expectations in the upper medium D-segment. |
