2018 Hyundai Santa Fe leaked

The next-generation Hyundai Santa Fe has been leaked on a Korean website, ahead of an expected reveal on February 7.

Posted on Daum, an exterior photo shows the all-new SUV with its Kona-inspired face, while an interior snap previews the overhauled cabin.

We don’t have images of the rear, unfortunately, but the photos we do have demonstrate the two-tier headlight design set to inspire the wider Hyundai SUV range, lashings of chrome, and new alloy wheels.

The skid plate-like treatment on the front bumper gives the Santa Fe a more purposeful look, while a strong side character line extends from the LED daytime-running light clusters all the way through to the tail-lights.

Inside, the Santa Fe looks very much like an enlarged i30, thanks to its floating infotainment system and minimalistic approach to buttons on the centre stack.

The cabin appears to have more leather-look surfaces on the dashboard and doors, while the instrument binnacle is dominated by a fully-digital speedo – like higher versions of the related Kia Sorento.

Expect wireless smartphone charging to also be available on the new model, along with more USB inputs for mobile-reliant families.

According to Daum’s post, the Santa Fe will also debut a new rear cross-collision avoidance system – essentially an autonomous emergency braking function for rear cross-traffic – along with the company’s latest infotainment system with remote services compatibility and an array of internet-based navigation and search functions.

The article also reveals a three-tier engine range – a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel, 2.2-litre turbo-diesel, and a 2.0-litre turbo petrol. Outputs aren’t confirmed at this stage, but a new eight-speed automatic transmission and new rack-driven electric power steering system are said to help achieve “best-in-class fuel economy”.

We’ll have to wait until the official reveal to get more details, so stay tuned…

CarAdvice will also be attending the international launch drive of the new Santa Fe in South Korea later this month, so expect locally-focused coverage and a first drive review in the coming weeks.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j

‘Smells Like WD-40’ – lubricant spray now a fragrance

Gambar
The smell of WD-40 – the multi-purpose lubricant spray used by mechanics and home handymen – is now available as a fragrance. Those who like to tinker with older cars will no doubt be familiar with the lubricating spray WD-40 – the penetrating oil that helps helps loosen, degrease, and protect nuts and bolts. The product is so versatile it’s become the stuff of legend, but it’s the smell of WD-40 that is arguably its most memorable feature – so much so, people on the internet have pretended to turn it into a perfume for years. Now, a very real cologne has been launched, called Smells Like WD-40. The Eau De Parfum is made by New York art collective MSCHF, who are known for creating spoof products designed to point out the absurdity of a particularly industry – in this case, the multi-billion-dollar world of luxury fragrances. According to Business Insider, MSCHF used to run non-traditional advertising campaigns for brands, but stopped in late 2019 to focus on its own projec

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals.
