An ad has popped up on oto.my for the yet-to-launch third-gen Hyundai Santa Fe. An estimated price of RM190k is listed for the 2.2 litre four-pot CRDi-powered variant, which has 197 PS and 436 Nm of torque at its disposal. It is likely the five-seater version, as the longer-wheelbase version is LHD-only.
Equipment listed in the ad include HID headlamps with auto-levelling and cornering lights, LED rear lamps, reverse camera, electronic parking brake with Auto Hold, VSM, ESC, traction control and Hill Start Assist. Transmission is listed as a six-speed auto; 4WD with Active on Demand mode is also mentioned.
But you know the drill – these are all indicative, and things have yet to be confirmed or made official. Click here to view the ad in full, or here for more information on the 2012 New York show-debuting SUV.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
this is what i have been waiting. Please bring in the 7 seater version. My current Kia sorento 2.4 7seater is doing great. This is better!!
Are we stupid or something? This car is priced at US$24,450. that makes it around RM75,000. That also its the CRDi or the 190hp Petrol.
How can the price jump to RM190,000? Lagi pun, Inokom will CKD it, so, how can the price be like 3 times? Somemore in US, its the 7 seater.
We need to vote wisely in this coming election.
I am glad and proud to see another person who likes this name. Thank you.
It’s hard to tell who from who since most doesn’t have Gravatar, but first Jimmy is right, we cried outrage when the 2.4 CRV was said to be priced at 190k, saying the Santa Fe will eat it for breakfast, now even the Santa Fe is priced that high and the only advantage is the better diesel drivetrain….and rather good-looking for the 5-seater ver, best design Hyundai(I really disliked the fluidic design)
Cheap and popular comments. Among Asean countries there is no such car prices.
In fact Thailand and Indonesia car prices are only about 10 – 20% cheaper than us.But their pump fuel prices are more than doubled at around RM4 per litre.
As always some people always forget or take for granted the many cheap or even free things available in their own country.
Why not stay in U.S and try to own a living there? or if still insist to be here then shift to Langkawi to benefit the free duty status.
wish everyone in sime darby and other party getting rich and rich from taking our money, its culture here. rm190k for 5 seated suv, which previous 7 seated version sell at rm170k, and the weird thing is, people still affordable to buy it regardless price increase.
Okey I have to admit, I may have to change my name. Korean cars are starting to look attractive and with that kind of torque, even a Porsche 911 does not have that kind of power (torque). I was driving a friend’s Elantra this whole week, I admit, it was a damn good car. Maybe I have been wrong all this while.
Diesel cars generally do produce higher torque compared to its petrol siblings…but 190k is way too much…140-155k will be the reasonable pricing
Ha Ha Ha ! If u try to immitate me make sure you spell it correctly, notice the “L” in La is in cap ? Anyway this car doesn’t need my comment, the RM 190,000 price tag is enough to kill it self.
now pre Hyundai Santa Fe RV will drop like Hell..bad RV
No need to promote how good is ur Toyotata and super high RV! Hyundai RV drop like hell yet enjoy like heaven unlike those ugly cheap looking cars…
buy what u like, who cares about RV….
And have you checked how much your Sorento is worth now? Be prepared for the hailat swearing
Specs is great, 2.2 CRDI is awesome, we don’t get much diesel car here but I think there’s a mistake with the price, RM 190k is wee bit too high. Hope it’s wrong.
Did I read correctly…? LWB 7-seater only available in LHD…?
Sad Sad Sad… :( :(
Hidden due to lowcomment rating. Click here to see.
I know Hilux is a great car but don’t compare a pick up to a 7 seater SUV.
he compare RV only, not category..
hilux better?
try latest ford ranger & chevrolet calorado 1st
b4 u make tis comment.
even i dont own those car,but i drive it all already
the result,hilux,no way i donna have u
Hilux not only has great RV, but also serves as the polite way of telling kimchi owners that they have made the mistake of buying one and will be penalised with low trade in value
Sam, still on your RV nonsense again? Let me tell you this:- Trade in value for a 2011 Santa Fe? 110k, brand new 170k. 60k trade in value what you claimed? Nowhere near it. Ask the used car dealers who know cars well, and your Hilux, 2011 year, is being taken it at 60k. That’s 2/3 of its value, almost the same as the Santa Fe. Still wanna say you only lose 10% after a few years? That’s bullshit.
At least I lose and arm and a leg virtually, whereas you, in your Toyota, stands a good chance of losing a real arm and leg no thanks to the lack of safety features.
OMG…U should compare this with T.Fortuner, dun always just mentioned your hilux…Ford Ranger is much more better than your hilux …
Hence the name…
Better buy bicycle lah…..
Fake Fella
190k ???!!! for a hyundai ???
you gotta be kidding me
1 year later, used car fella will give you RM90k if you are lucky
If it is true RM190k for 5-seater Korean brand, then good luck our UMW brother. Best wishes.
huh ? good luck ??!!! they don’t need luck if Hyundai is selling at 190k… even crv 2.4 is estimated to priced at 190k
Malaysian just have a new UMW’s brother, a little shorter one, who shares the same gene.
RM160K more realistic.
if Pakatan win.. that should be the price…
less than rm100k,proton future how? must take over by others manufacture
Proton no future liao. Go sell bicycle after GE.
BN close shop, proton close shop, crony close shop, car price reduce, rakyat happy.
Do you want happy ending? If so, vote wisely.
iF PAKATAN win, selling it at RM160k,
I will not choose this lousy drivetrain car also.
I would buy 1 year later, at RM60k, and there will be a great selection all over
If the price is right then we won’t be seeing many of these on the road..in fact I don’t see many Santa Fe’s on the road now either
The indicative pricing is correct somehow.
Heard that from Sime Darby Hyundai sales department people, it will be at such price range.
SD/Inokom is really screwing over the Hyundai brand with such pricing. I guess they think they are in the same league as UMW/DRB even though their after sales is not even the same standard.
first the veloster, now the santa fe. i understand hyundai is slowly increasing its price in europe, however they do have the quality and service to backup. Malaysia is still miles away from them.
Somehow I think this is the best-looking Hyundai. The design is matured and it makes the car looks smart. Less flamboyant I suppose. I’m a Japanese-car guy but I have to say, well done, Hyundai.
For full spec of the car surf to official Hyundai Australia website! Google “Hyundai Santa Fe Ix45 Australia” Basically my boss said It’ll be Almost identical to Australian FULL spec Except for no of airbags! 2 or 7? Eg. Elantra 1.8 got 6 airbags worldwide but Bolehland spec only 2 airbags!
RM190K is only ok for this SUV if it is:
1. 7-seater
2. 9 airbags(NINE) , like Sharan
3. Panoramic sunroofs
4. VSC/TC, HSA, downhill control, ABS/EBD/BA, blind spot monitoring system, forward collition mitigation system, anti-rollover, lane departure assist, attention assist, 5-star NCAP, active headlights(left-right, auto adjust), bixenon and tyre pressure monitoring.
5. FULL OFFROAD CAPABILITIES.
6. Keyless entry and start/stop.
7. Leather seats.
Optional barang-barang orang muda (bluetooth, NAV, auto-this/that).
We don’t mind if there is no adaptive chassis control.
It no OK even at RM120k, coz its RV will half in a year
so kua jiong lo you… the RV drop 2.0-2.5x of what toyota drop…
Why is that every time new car out … price is higher than previous one? Is it in M’sia only?
Don’t complain about a RM190k 5-seater Hyundai just yet!
My Indonesian in-laws just bought one in Jakarta, and I can assure you they are 7-seaters all right.
Now, I’m not sure about spec differences in Malaysia and Indonesia, but since most cars in Malaysia and Indonesia have similar specs, I’m pretty sure we’ll get 7 seats as well.
Aside from the features listed in the ad, the Indon spec gets 6 airbags and a 3-row panoramic sunroof, but it’s missing the GPS nav and reversing camera.
But that price is ridiculous. In Indonesia they’re priced at RM130k for the 2.4 petrol with 170 hp and RM140k for that 190 hp 2.2 diesel, and even that’s ridiculous for them!
Cheers!
It’s a 7 seater like Sorento, Aussie specs & UK specs! FULLY Loaded with Arkamys 12 speakers sound system with Amp & Subwoofer! Power adjustable Driver & Passenger Seats with 3 memory at driver seat! Also, Elec Tilt+slide panoramic sunroof! Price for top of the range diesel! 2.4 Petrol estimated price only RM160k to 175k only!
In Oz, all kimchis have no RV as well
So the top of the range gets nine airbags right?
Remember that Fortuner 2.7V is actually RM145k only if its situation is the same as Santa Fe in Malaysia, taking into account RV, maintainence etc.
BTW, the target customers are likely paying little attention to the sound system, did I mention it above?
I cannot remember what little-little functions/gadgets that my cars have. May you feel that one day.
Hopefully they sell the 2.0 crdi at RM 150k because this is too expensive. It’s even more expensive than it’s cousin Kia Sorento.
Dream on Kalun, current model 2.2crdi already selling at RM165k after discount (normal price 173k)! Note that Sorento is Petrol! Naza No longer have B@lls to import diesels after their disaster reliability experience with their 2004 to 2007 Sorento 2.5 diesel! 3rd cause of Low Low resale value of Naza after Huge 5 figures discounts and poor poor Aftersales & low parts inventory!
Why buy new?
Buy pre-owned at at least 50% off 1 year later
Dear SD salesman, the original price of the current SantaFe was only RM164K. I have the proof here:
http://www.hyundai.com.my/newsantafe/pricelist.pdf
That was the pricing originally set by Hyundai-Berjaya. After SD completed the buyout from Berjaya, they revised the price to the current ridiculous figure of RM174K for no good reason. SD has always been a blood sucking leech. When Berjaya operated the franchise, they had at least 6 mechanics at the Glenmarie SC. Now after all the lavish renovations by SD, they only have 3 mechanics and at higher service charges.
I know a lot of Hyundai owners who will never buy another car from this brand as long as the blood sucking SD is running it. SD is like that for anything they take over, you can ask SJMC patients for another such example. Thank god they did not successfully take over IJN.
This is the diamond, not even gold, comment that I have seen over years in Paultan.org.
SJMC, I wish your boss is Hap Seng Star.
Who is behind this SD ha? If it is PR, then we please don’t vote for PR.
No one should take over or monopolise every businesses, rakyat will die.
If I am the ruler, I will not allow this kind of thing to happen, but now we cannot because there are so many coffee drinkers in Malaysia. Again, Thank god they did not successfully take over IJN, very well phrased.
Hyundai more expansive than VW?
LET’S VOTE FOR PAKATAN FOR A 20% CHEAPER PRICE!!!!
For kimchis, PR or BN, it’s RV will be great for smart buyers who choose pre-owned.
So sorry for the 1st owners though
Except US all new Santa Fe come in SWB of US’ model but “LWB” enough for the rest of the world. While in US the SWB variants have 5 or 7 seater configuration and Malaysia got similar UK or European 7-seater.
While Kia Sorento merely RM158K I can’t imagine a Inokom badge Santa Fe will be priced closer to RM200K.
Simply not augur well with global pricing. This is crazy of Malaysia NAP.
Singapore aside, this country really love to make car price like property’s.
I want to buy Hyunday , how much is it?
Buy pre-owned, at at great unimaginable discount
RM160K-RM170 is more competitive prize. Like pajero sport and fortuner. Close to RM200k Waaahhh gila ke? Unless that one is diesel hybrid la. But immposible. Bila nak masuk Malysia? kita tunggu dah lihat saja la…
should be Sante Fe Sports please…
rm190k for kimchi suv 5 seated somemore? i rather change my plan to peugeot 508gt or get current version, saw mudah new car price at rm144k !!
The ad is saying
Interior:
Leather upholstery – 7 seats (2-3-2)
Anyone interested in bulk ordering it?
No joke. Santa fe always disappoint me. No matter how good the torque in the brochure said, it nvr gives the experience i was expecting. Driving experience is what matters, not the stupid lying numbers. Hope this one will be a different case.
so, when will it be launching in Malaysia ?
fair price after PR take over, RM145K for 7-seater version.
