You are in the Hyundai Santa Fe Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
Do you know if there are any plans to offer a diesel option in the 2007 Santa Fe?

There are currently no announced or rumored plans to offer a diesel-powered CM in the US at this time. Given a few successful years of sales, and widerspread acceptance of diesel engines (the cleaner-burning diesel fuel should help), I wouldn't be surprised to see Hyundai bring a Santa Fe CRTD here. On the other hand, I think the Tucson is a strong candadite for the near-term -- perhaps as early as the 2008 model-year. Mike |

I hope Hyundai finds a new name instead of "Santa Fe."

Santa Fe is a pretty neat name. Think about it, they named their smaller SUV the Tucson, after the city in Arizona, and their bigger SUV is called the Santa Fe because Santa Fe is a bigger city, and the capital of NM. Just found it interesting that they named both their SUVs after cities in the Sunbelt.

no future models are named Gulfport, Biloxi or New Orleans...

Good pic of the third row seat. Yes, it's really close to the back hatch. I would assume they have done a crash test with that third row seat even though a high speed rear collision is less likely.

Replying to: navigator89 (Aug 30, 2005 10:33 pm) Interesting idea, but the logic doesn't work because Tucson is bigger than Santa Fe. But Santa Fe is a capital city. Thus you get partial credit and avoid having to re-take Geography 101.
