全新一代现代胜达此前已经多次曝光过路试谍照和相关信息，而在日前，有国外媒体就根据已经曝光的谍照还原了全新一代现代胜达的假想图。从假想图上来看，新车最为抢眼的设计在于分体式大灯的运用，可以看到，在新车上，已经采用了与现代KONA相同的家族化设计。在新一代胜达更大的车身尺寸下，分体式大灯的前脸设计变得更加富有视觉张力和层次感。现代的六边形进气格栅也采用了一个小掐腰的设计来迎合目前现代家族的设计。分体式大灯的运用使得新一代现代胜达的车头视觉高度有了明显的提升，前保险杠两侧的主光源对上方的LED日间行车灯起到了一个很好的烘托作用。就整体上看来，新车也保留了中型SUV所应有的大体量感设计。根据定位的不同，新扯也同样会提供五座版和七座版的车身定义。在动力方面，全新一代现代胜达将搭载一套四缸涡轮增压动力以及一台V6动力，与之匹配八速自动变速箱，在驱动形式方面提供前轮驱动和四轮驱动的选择。另外也有媒体表示，在新一代胜达的产品架构里，还将会出现一款插电式混合动力系统。
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Masterfully Rendered By Brenthon Design
Now the time has come for the South Korean automotive accessories manufacturer to imagine the all-new Santa Fe, which will receive an evolution of the Kona’s split headlights.
Available in five- and seven-seat configurations, the third-generation Santa Fe has been with us since 2012. That makes it five years old going on six, which is a lot of time in Hyundai years. 2018 will see the fourth generation go official in South Korea and other select markets, with the global rollout set to be completed during the MY 2019.
Camouflaged prototypes with production-ready body panels speak volumes about how much prettier the Santa Fe will get, but Brenthon Design went one step further by rendering the newcomer into reality. Considering the Incheon-based company receives detailed documents of future models from Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis before launch, it wouldn’t come as a surprise for the Santa Fe to look similar to the pixel work.
One way the all-new Santa Fe will differ from the current model is the side mirrors, which are positioned on the doors instead of the base of the A-pillars. Then there’s the split-headlight design, with DRLs sitting at the top and the projectors below. The interior is another area where Hyundai is expected to work its magic on the Santa Fe, passenger space included.
On the subject of powertrain options, it’s anybody’s guess what Hyundai has in the pipeline for the mid-size SUV. The most likely outcome is for Hyundai to soldier on with the I4 and V6 engines in the current-generation Santa Fe. An eight-speed transmission developed for front- and all-wheel-drive applications is a given, though not much is known about the Santa Fe going green.
Hyundai announced that the product lineup in the U.S. would welcome eight SUVs by 2020, the first two of the lot coming in the form of the Kona and Kona Electric. If one of those eight is a Santa Fe Hybrid or Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid, that would help Hyundai improve its presence in this segment.
