2013 Hyundai Santa Fe spy shots

These are the very-first spy shots of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe crossover vehicle! Spied in South Korea, the new crossover vehicle from Hyundai Motor Company is expected to make its official premiere at the 2012 L.A. Auto Show, while sales are projected to commence in the first half of 2013.

The all-new Santa Fe CUV will feature more aggressive exterior styling than the model it replaces. It will adopt some of the styling cues from the popular Tucson crossover, which has created quite some buzz among compact crossover buyers in the USA.

Inside, the car will offer a completely redesigned dashboard with up-to-date audio and telematics systems, including Hyundai’s new Blue Link infotainment system.

In terms of performance, you can expect the new Santa Fe to provide segment-leading fuel economy thanks to improved 2.4L four-cylinder engine and its GDI technology. Both six-speed manual or automatic transmissions will be available.
