Hyundai-Grand-Santa-Fe-4

While the facelifted Santa Fe has just been launched not many moons ago in South Korea, we've now received images of the updated SUV making rounds at the company's test facilities in Germany.

Design-wise, the European facelift is likely to involve a more prominent hexagonal grille on the front fascia, while character lines are expected to flow more consistently on the side to give it a more "fluid" and aggressive look to maintain some form of consistency with the Korean brand's new design language.

If there is any indication to go by, the Santa Fe facelift is likely to be receiving the same innovative features that will feature in the third-gen Hyundai Tucson - active and passive assist systems like automated parking, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and probably even autonomous safety technology.

On that note, it will definitely be compatible with Hyundai's Blue Link, where one will be able to control the SUV, doing things remotely like starting up the car, locking and unlocking and even locate their vehicle with a smart watch.
