Hyundai is preparing to start local assembly of the Santa Fe SUV, according to an official source within the industry.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is a mid-size seven-seat crossover SUV that competes with the KIA Sorento and Toyota Fortuner. In Pakistan, the Santa Fe is already available as a CBU in only one trim level, the GLS.
The SUV comes with a 2.4-liter, naturally aspirated 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 170 horsepower and 225 Nm of torque in the currently available model. A 6-speed automatic transmission sends all of this power to all four wheels.
The exact date of the SUV’s arrival in the United States, as well as the number of models and price point, are still unknown. However, given the current rate of progress at Hyundai Nishat, it is possible that the launch will occur before the end of 2022.
