Facelifted Hyundai Santa Fe Priced Lower than Outgoing Model in the UK

Hyundai has released pricing for its revised 2010 Santa Fe that goes on sale in the UK on the 4th of January 2010. Despite the various upgrades that include minor exterior and interior styling tweaks but most importantly, a new 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine that makes 197-horsepower and is the only powerplant offered in Britain, the new Santa Fe is priced lower than the outgoing '09 model with prices now ranging from £21,495 to £25,495 (at new 17.5% VAT rate).

For the 2010 model year, Hyundai has simplified the Santa Fe's range with a two-model line-up now comprising of the entry-level Style and the higher spec Premium.

The Style's standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, reversing sensors, carbon black interior trim (replaces the previous model's wood trim), a new CD/RDS radio with an AUX/USB connection and full iPod control, ESP and air conditioning.

Move up to the Premium model and you get 18-inch wheels, dual climate control, heated leather seats with electric adjustment for the driver and automated lights and wipers.
