Hyundai – Team Wiggins partnership results with creating a limited run of Santa Fe vehicles

2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Team Wiggins Limited Edition Hyundai Motor launches a limited run of Santa Fe models in order to celebrate the partnership with Sir Bradley’s Wigging’s cycling team! Named Santa Fe Team Wiggins Edition, the limited to 500 units edition will be available for purchase in July.

Hyundai Motor team promises sharp new design, improvement in terms of technology and tons of additional equipment. But we will see about that!

2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Team Wiggins Limited Edition

Based on the Premium SE trim level, the Team Wiggins Edition will come with this new thing called Dynamic Bending Lights, a Panoramic Sunroof, Smart Electric Tailgate, Smart Parking Assist, Ventilated Front Seats and Smart High Beam, all part of the standard equipment. Sweet.

In terms of appearance and style, Team Wiggins proudly shows exclusive badges, distinctive 19-inch aluminums in Dark Gunmetal coloring. Buyers can also choose from five different body color finishes that include the all-new White Crystal with pearl-effect, solid Creamy White, metallic Titanium Silver, metallic Ocean View and one more pearl-effected Phantom Black.

The power unit is Hyundai’s 200hp (149kW) 2.2-CRDi diesel that can be paired to either a manual or automatic gearbox. Interesting thing is that the price for a vehicle with manual gearbox is cheaper than the Premium SE model. This also means that a Team Wiggins Edition vehicle with automatic transmission system will be approximately the same price as a Premium SE automatic. How cool is that?

Hyundai is making the Tucson more attractive by applying a single change

Hyundai Tucson gets 141 PS 1.7-litre turbo diesel with 7DCT

Hyundai Tucson is probably the company’s best selling product, so there is no need for any changes then, some may say. Hyundai is obviously has a contrasting opinion, because it has made one significant change to the Tucson, which not only makes it more attractive, but also more efficient and dynamic. The company has just added the fifth powertrain option, the 141 PS 1.7-litre turbo diesel unit. To make it cooler, it has connected it to the seven-speed double clutch transmission (7DCT) that drives the front two wheels.

The 7DCT system has been developed by Hyundai with the goal to offer a choice between fully automatic operation and sequential manual gear changes, thus providing greater driver involvement. The other benefit of this transmission is the improved fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. Combined with this particular engine, it delivers only 129g of CO2 and has fuel efficiency of 57.6 mpg on a combined cycle.

Delivering a maximum torque of 340 Nm, the Tucson’s new engine does this within a wide rev range of 1,750 rpm to 2,500 rpm. Making it further efficient is the addition of the Integrated Stop & Go (ISG) system as standard.

Hyundai Tucson interior

When it comes to safety, believe it or not, but Hyundai is among the first. The Tucson is actually one of the safest vehicles in its segment. It has been awarded with the maximum five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. And there is a reason for that. The Tucson benefits from a solid body structure including 51% of ultra-high strength steel for better torsional rigidity and impact resistance and wide range of innovative safety features. Just to mention some of them: Autonomous Emergency Braking with pedestrian recognition, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and the Lane Keep Assist System.

Hyundai Tucson 1 .7-litre turbo diesel comes with a 7DCT and a two-wheel drive (2WD) and it is offered above the SE trim.

Is Hyundai IONIQ the Hybrid Car We Have Been Waiting For?

Hyundai IONIQ Side View Hyundai IONIQ is probably one of those vehicles I have been longing to see due to its versatile forms of fuelling and innovative ecological approach. Well, it is now here… or at least in its hybrid form. If you are not familiar with the car, it is an advanced, alternative-fuel compact vehicle, which will eventually be offered with a choice of three powertrains: electric, plug-in gasoline/electric hybrid, and gasoline/electric hybrid.

The car is definitely a result of Hyundai’s way to go with the trend and ‘spoil’ always-changing customer’s lifestyles by breaking the mould for hybrid vehicles. In other words we have here and average design and great fuel efficiency. And do not expect more. In fact, the design of the car seems to me something of a mix of Ford Focus’ sides (and a little bit of the front) and Prius’ tail. But that’s just an opinion…

Since the IONIQ Hybrid is the first of the trio that has been unveiled we should say a word about it. It is equipped with new 1.6 GDI four-cylinder Kappa engine and 32 kW (44 PS) electric motor. The latter is powered by a Lithium-Ion polymer battery. The combined output measures 104 kW (141 PS) and 265 Nm (196 lb-ft) of torque. The powertrain is linked to a new six-speed dual-clutch transmission (6DCT), which offers responsive performance and a slick gear shift, and of course great fuel economy.

Hyundai IONIQ Interior

In addition, Hyundai also disclosed that the car is based on an exclusive new platform, which allows the driving performance of the IONIQ to be similar to that of a regular compact car. Ride and handling, noise, vibration and harshness were specially tuned to deliver superior ride quality and comfort.

There are also a lot of convenience, safety and connectivity features included like the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and 7-inch TFT information cluster. A host of innovative future-ready active and passive safety features protect the driver and passenger. Precisely we have electronic systems like Autonomous Emergency Brake, Lane Keeping Assist System, Lane Departure Warning System, and Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

IONIQ Hybrid is another car in the list of the expanding hybrids. Hyundai’s approach will make “electrification and mobility” more accessible throughout the world. Despite the expectations of setting a new benchmark, I think that IONIQ will be just another average hybrid car. But let’s not rush with the judgments and see the other two variants. The trio will be unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show in March.

And in case you are interested, IONIQ Hybrid will go on sale in Europe during the second half of this year.

The smooth design theme firmly continues through the side doors and demonstrates this new and futuristic design.

Although there is only one picture, showing the interior, we must say it really looks comfortable and functional. Or at least the sketch makes it look that way. The design concept of the new IONIQ is continued into the cabin and proudly shapes itself in cozy, yet effectively space-using cockpit. Simple and stylish, yet beautiful and futuristic, the ambience in the cabin meets everyone in a place, built with passion, desire and love. Truly a masterpiece, even though we have seen only two pictures.

2016 Hyundai IONIQ Concept

Hyundai IONIQ is to be demonstrated at the Geneva International Motor Show and the New York Auto Show in March 2016 after its world premiere in Korea later this month.
