Hyundai Santa Fe

Safety

The Hyundai Santa Fe stands out with a high level of safety, thanks to its advanced suite of safety technologies. Active safety features include lane keeping assist, a 360 degree surround view camera system, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. The vehicle is also equipped with Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), which helps maintain traction and stability across different driving conditions.

In addition, Santa Fe offers a strong set of passive safety features, including a reinforced body structure designed to absorb impact in the event of a collision. Multiple airbags are also standard, covering the front, sides, and curtain areas, providing comprehensive protection for all passengers and ensuring a more secure driving experience.

Car Purchase Cost

The Hyundai Santa Fe starts at approximately 130,000 SAR in the Saudi market. Based on a financing plan with a 20% down payment (26,000 SAR), a 60 month repayment term, and an annual interest rate of 1.9%, the estimated monthly payment would be around 2,005 SAR.

In terms of value retention, the Santa Fe holds up well, maintaining up to 65% of its original value after three years. This translates to an estimated resale price of around 84,500 SAR, making it a solid investment for buyers concerned with long term value.

Running Costs

The Hyundai Santa Fe offers reasonable fuel efficiency with an average consumption of 9 liters per 100 kilometers. Assuming an annual driving distance of 15,000 kilometers (roughly 1,300 kilometers per month), the yearly fuel cost amounts to around 5,062 SAR, based on a fuel price of 2.25 SAR per liter.

For maintenance, Hyundai typically schedules service every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. The cost of each regular service visit ranges between 500 and 800 SAR, making the Santa Fe relatively affordable to maintain compared to many of its segment rivals.
