最近谍照记者在德国拍到了正在测试的下一代现代胜达，为了能在更热的天气保持凉爽，车身伪装去掉了一些。这辆测试车不再采用云纹伪装，因此可以看到更具雕刻感的前轮拱和侧后视镜。现代为旗下跨界车采用统一的外观风格，包括更宽阔格栅和双层前大灯。这两个设计元素都出现在了这辆胜达测试车上。车尾被遮盖的面板让人无法看清车辆真正的侧面轮廓，而这辆车实际上也不会像这辆测试车那么方正。车顶后部略微下倾，但还不至于影响到车内储物空间。现代的工作人员很巧妙的隐藏了车尾，但仍能看出车尾采用了细窄的横置尾灯组。目前新车采用何种动力系统还不清楚，预计仍将采用前驱并可选装全驱的设计。现代美国公司CEO Zuchowksi认为，消费者对于五座版和七座版胜达很容易弄混，因此更大车型将采用全新名称以便将两款车区分开来。现代刚刚发布了2017款胜达，因此预计新车将于明年下半年发布。
Next Hyundai Santa Fe Spied In A Little Less Camo
The next-gen Hyundai Santa Fe has left the frigid arctic and testing is now underway in Germany. To keep cool in the warmer weather, the upcoming crossover now wears a little less camouflage.
As opposed to earlier test mules, Hyundai no longer bothers to use swirling camouflage on the sections of the body that the cladding doesn’t hide. This reveals a little of the sculpting on the front fenders and the mirrors.
Hyundai is developing a unified look for its crossovers that includes broad grilles and two-tier headlights. Both design elements are evident on this Santa Fe test mule.
A concealment panel at the rear distorts the Santa Fe’s profile, and the vehicle isn’t actually as boxy as this one appears. The roof has a slight downward curve but not enough of an arch to impact cargo space negatively. Hyundai’s team does quite a good job at hiding the rear, but the narrow, horizontal taillights are largely visible in these photos.The Powertrain for the next Santa Fe remains a mystery. A choice of front- or all-wheel drive should remain on the options list, though.
Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowksi believes that customers confuse the five-passenger Santa Fe Sport and seven-passenger Santa Fe. The larger model reportedly receives a new name for its next generation as a way to differentiate the pair.
Hyundai just refreshed the Santa Fe for the 2017 model year, and the updated product has given the company time to work on this new one. Expect the latest generation of the CUV to arrive in the latter half of 2018.
