The ultimate Captiva shared story with Santa Fe received an update in 2014. The upgrade only affected the exterior design and interior design of the vehicle. First of all, the front of the car freshened up, where they installed new headlights, a radiator grill and a bumper.
The range of engines has been significantly reduced to Russia. Instead of 5-6 diesel units, only one remained - 184 horsepower with a volume of 2.2 liters.

Sadly, this car fell victim to Chevrolet's takeover by transportation giant General Motors. After moving under its wing, most of the brand's cars left the conveyors of not only St. Petersburg, but also other factories. In the opinion of the editorial board of the ratings portal, its days were already numbered. After all, motorists are gradually changing iron horses in favor of economical ones. 8 and 15 liters in city and highway modes will no longer work. An excellent alternative would be a car with similar characteristics of later years of production. Fuel consumption will be less here, and the trunk will be even more capacious.
Hyundai Santa Fe 2015

In Europe, with smooth tracks, this 4WD SUV loses a third, if not half, of its potential. There is where to roam and in the vicinity of the city in the state of New Mexico, which gave the name to this car. In our country, the driver of such an SUV will also find adventure. The car was sold in diesel and gasoline versions. There is only one petrol modification - 175 horses with 2.4-liter inline cylinders. At the request of the buyer, it can be supplemented with a manual or automatic transmission. And almost a two-hundred-horsepower turbodiesel has only an automatic.

The car has gone through a deep modernization of the chassis. The exterior has also changed, which has become more dynamic and expressive. In all respects, Santa Fe is close to the premium segment. The interior trim features small plastic, added legroom and improved ergonomics. And the layout itself approached the passenger.
In a couple of months, the company approached the restyling thoroughly. The dashboard, multimedia system with new navigation features have been updated. Although the latter sometimes dulls.

In the field of security, a circular monitor has appeared, which has no analogues. Lane departure warning and 360-degree visibility are available to the driver. The latter option is critical when driving through tight spaces or reversing. The innovations have become the channel for obtaining the highest possible stars of European and American transport security authorities.

Which car is suitable for whom
The Chevrolet Captiva proved to be excellent off-road and is suitable for extreme lovers. Although the low ground clearance complicates the movement on rough terrain. Only the high price will scare off the consumer.
Hyundai has a greater range than its competitor. The advantages are complemented by high ground clearance and fuel economy - 6 liters versus 8 under the most favorable conditions. This is a practical horse that is suitable for business and less-than-average people.
