Sometimes you bling like there’s no tomorrow, and sometimes you go the more sedate stainless steel route. German company Cobra Technology & Lifestyle has chosen to go with the latter for the new Hyundai Santa Fe, offering a series of stainless-steel dress up items that show what can be done to dress up the third-gen SUV.
There’s a high-gloss 60 mm diameter tubular front guard, and auxiliary high-beam headlights – in a ready-to-install kit – can be added to the mix. Alternatively, there’s the Cityguard, which is also made of 60 mm tubing, but is centrally attached to the underside of the front apron.
Elsewhere, there are rocker panel guards, and options vary from custom-tailored high-gloss stainless-steel units to running boards with ribbed surfaces or an aluminium option.
To cap it all off, the rear end can be dressed up with four chrome exhaust tips, which replace the stock items. Whatever it is, it’s all less in-your-face than the Grandiose kit for the Audi R8, for sure.

THE KANCIL BAR IN FRONT AND LOOSE SPOTLIGHT FROM NOWHERE, SPOIL THE OVERALL LOOK. SAD, CHEAPING THE CAR…

Wow…! This is so Korean cars 20 years back!
Koreans are easily 20 years back compared with Proton.
Ha.. ha.. ha… like a small kit toy
I will skip this Hyundai Santa Fe and wait for the new Kia Sorento with this Santa Fe platform.
Looks nicer!
what new sorento? The outgoing model is only 2 yrs old n a facelift model is due to launch nxt year with minor upgrades to front n rear bumpers as well as rear lights…
My Name is EPIC. Really match your name.
Just wait la! Kia design always amaze us. The current Sorento is based on the old 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. Outdated.
This 3rd gen SF oredy looks awesome on its own…it is designed by an australian for the US market (in fact previous gen santa fe were intended solely for the US market but it also became a big hit in europe) n thnx to HSDM we msians also got to drive it here…i sympathize with mr digir for his brainless comments…blind loyalty to certain brands can make our brain cells dead u know…
Yup, the SF is a big HIT in US/OZ/UK/Europe and even here in Msia…esp the 2.2 R-series diesels..very powerful 190++HP and more important its awesome 440nm torque. It IS A TORQUE monster BUT frugal too! (14km/l)
Well anthony…any news of its arrival on our shores? Cant wait to see it in the metal…seen video previews of the US models n they look awesome…exterior n interior features r so premium..hope HSDM wont strip much of its marvellous features n accesories esp the 2.0 turbo when it arrives here…
Look and specs definately much better then Toyota Fortuner been around ages plus Mitsubishi Pajero, If the pricing remains as previous models , I see this car to be selling pretty well as a CBU packed with loads of accessories. Even our immigration dept owns a whole fleet of them current model 2.2 crdi bought directly from HDSM.
not just imigration dept…loads of govt dept & agency is currently using the 2.2 diesels santa fe. They love it more than their prev fleet of very2 not comfortable T Fortuner. I know, i’m from one of the agency currency using SF.
Alamak, Toyota Unser!!!
buang bar ok sikit…

Three Words
NO RESALE VALUE
How does the CRDI 2.2 engine perform/ endure with our Malaysia Euro 2 diesel? Are there many maintenance aspects need to concern with… Injectors, fuel filter… Etc? Can this engine perform under high sulphur content of our diesel quality?
The engine sec looks great on paper, but I would like to understand more on actual usage condition… I am interested to own 1 diesel SUV but have seen issues with my neighbour new 520D… Make me think twice before going for Diesel engine car
‘No Resale Value’… a sentence that always arise and one of the factor that persuade one intention of buying. C’mon guy.. don’t let you self persuaded by this sentence. we are not buying ‘brand’, we are buying technology, satisfaction of use and ???. Bear in mind that car is not listed as making property but to make our money come out from our pockets…am i right. Any car decrease in term of values…but satisfaction of using is one of the factor that make us happy with our decision of buying especially ” moving metal”. For me, It is worty to buy safety, power, design, convenience of using, service..etc..than brand. How good is resale value just because of brand, it is not worty because you will sell it later till you find a moving metal that quench your satisfaction. That why there is so many car that we can say good resale value seen in secondhand car dealer. How ever, the decision is “up to you”. For me, santa fe is one of the car that built by considering of many factors like safety, design, tecnology, power, convenience…etc..in reasonable price compare to other car brand.
