The fourth-generation Shengda, a medium-sized SUV- owned by Beijing Hyundai, is available at a price of 20.28-272800 yuan. The new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine and an eight-speed manual transmission.

The new model uses the latest modern family design, the hexagonal forward air grille with the upper chrome trim, and the new Shengda also uses split headlights. The side D-pillar is adjusted for domestic models, using a large piece of chrome-plated accessories, the tail is the popular through taillight group, and the letter style of "SANTAFE" is under the tail mark.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car is 4930/1910/1720mm, and the wheelbase is 2865mm, which is lengthened compared with overseas version and domestic version.

Shengda's interior is much more mediocre, basically continuing the traditional design, there are not many unique highlights under the regular layout, and what can be done is a 10.25-inch touch screen in front of it. In addition, Shengda offers 5-and 6-seat car layouts.

In terms of power, the new Shengda is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 240hp, a peak torque of 353Nm, a matching eight-speed manual self-integrated gearbox, and a high-end model equipped with the HTRAC intelligent four-wheel drive system developed by Hyundai United Magna.

Beijing Hyundai Shengda's main competitors are Toyota Hanlanda, Ford Ruijie and other joint venture medium-sized SUV. Hanlanda occupies the market position of joint venture medium-sized SUV for a long time, and the rest of the brand models mainly compete for market share by price reduction. At present, the position of Korean cars in the Chinese market is very awkward, and after a sharp drop in sales, it is basically reduced to market competition with independent brands. When the styling design and performance-to-price ratio of Korean cars are no longer unique advantages, what kind of strength will be used in the competitive market environment?

A well-known car critic said: "from the product point of view, I believe it will not be bad, but please give me a reason to buy a Korean car."... " Maybe this is the embarrassment of Korean cars in the Chinese market.
