About the Hyundai Santa Fe TM
The fourth-generation 'TM' Santa Fe represented a significant move upmarket for Hyundai, featuring a bold 'Cascading Grille' and a premium interior overhaul. In the UK, the 2.2-litre CRDi diesel engine was the mainstay, paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission and HTRAC all-wheel drive. It introduced advanced safety tech like Rear Occupant Alert and Safe Exit Assist, making it a benchmark for family-oriented SUVs. The TM generation was notably short-lived, receiving a major platform-changing facelift only two years after its debut.
