A recent mid-year addition to the Hyundai Santa Fe range is the striking Santa Fe SR. Boasting purposeful new looks
and genuine sporting appeal, the new Santa Fe SR also represents strong value for money in the fast-growing Australian
large-SUV market.
Santa Fe SR joins the acclaimed Veloster SR Turbo, i30 SR and Accent SR in Hyundai Motor Company Australia’s range of
sport derivative variants and it is enhanced and tuned specifically for local conditions.
Santa Fe SR brings high-quality sporty enhancements, including a full sports bodykit, 19-inch OZ Racing alloy wheels
shod with high-performance Michelin tyres, Brembo brakes and H&R Performance springs.

Because it is based on Santa Fe Highlander, the seven-seater Santa Fe SR comes highly specified with benchmark
technology and a segment-leading standard equipment list.
Exterior
Santa Fe SR’s bodykit boasts a deep front spoiler, full-length side skirts and a rear diffuser with integrated
exhaust.
Santa Fe SR also brings standard matt-black 19x8 OZ Racing Versilia performance alloy wheels shod with 235/55 R19
Michelin Latitude Tour tyres. A full-size spare is standard.
Also integral to Santa Fe SR is a high-performance – and highly effective – braking package from acclaimed Italian
manufacturer Brembo, featuring eye-catching, bright red four-piston monobloc calipers front and rear.
Santa Fe SR is available in four exterior colours: Creamy White (solid), and Sleek Silver, Titanium Silver and Phantom
Black (all metallic). Each is matched with leather-appointed black interior trim.
Chassis and Tuning
Santa Fe SR is based on the Santa Fe Sports Package formulated by Hyundai Motor Corporation’s Customising Team in
South Korea.

However, this new flagship of Hyundai Australia’s outstanding SUV range has undergone significant locally-focused
development work by Hyundai Motor Company Australia’s in-house chassis and suspension tuning division led, by General
Manager Product Engineering, Mr Hee Loong Wong (aka ‘Wongy’).
To better suit our more challenging roads and unique road surfaces, Hyundai’s Australian Product Planning and
Engineering team specified H&R Performance Springs front and rear (six per cent and 11 per cent stiffer
respectively). For Santa Fe SR, the beefier springs were matched to the highly respected Korean-made Mando dampers used
on other Australian-specification MY15 Santa Fe model variants.
Dimensions of the Santa Fe SR’s Oz Racing wheels are unchanged over the standard alloy wheels available on the Santa
Fe Highlander. However, the new Santa Fe SR’s alloys offer better calliper clearance than the standard wheels.
“For us, it wasn’t about the wheels being bigger and wider, or having a different offset, but about spoke design
and the required calliper clearance,” says Hyundai Motor Company Australia’s Senior Manager Product Planning, Andrew
Tuitahi.
Apart from their eye-catching looks, the Santa Fe SR’s Brembo brakes also assist stopping power. From 60km/h, stopping
distance is reduced by eight per cent compared with MY15 Santa Fe’s already impressive braking performance. Front disc
dimensions are 340mm X 28mm, while the rears are 302mm X 22mm.

Santa Fe SR also features Hyundai’s advanced Flex Steer system and Active On-Demand 4WD system with torque-vectoring
Advanced Traction Cornering Control (ATCC). Other standard features on Santa Fe SR – which have helped MY15 Santa Fe
achieve the maximum 5-star ANCAP safety rating – include seven airbags, ESC, TCS, ABS, EBD, BAS, HAC, DBC and LDW.
Drivetrain
Santa Fe SR’s powerful and economical drivetrain integrates Hyundai’s torque-rich R2.2 CRDi turbo-diesel engine with
its acclaimed, in-house designed six-speed automatic transmission with electronic sequential manual mode.
