New Hyundai Santa Fe Endurance
Hyundai Motor UK announces the launch of a highly-equipped SUV perfect
for those who consider every drive an expedition – the Sante Fe Endurance
Edition.
itting at the top of Hyundai’s
range, it celebrates a recent
history-making drive by Patrick
Bergel, the Great Grandson of
legendary polar explorer, Sir
Ernest Shackleton.
In December 2016, Bergel completed a 30-day
expedition in a near-standard 2.2-litre diesel
Santa Fe, driving across Antarctica from Union
Camp to McMurdo and back again,
commemorating the centenary of Shackleton’s
heroic Trans-Antarctic expedition of 1914-16.
This was the first time a passenger vehicle had
ever traversed the Antarctic continent and the
standard 2.2-litre Santa Fe used by Bergel
featured only a handful of modifications to
counter the tough Antarctic conditions, such as
the fitment of large, low-pressure tyres, a 250-litre
fuel tank and a pre-heater for the cold.
To commemorate this incredible achievement,
Hyundai Motor UK will make just 500 Endurance
S
Edition models available.
Each car is based on the 2.2 diesel 7 seat
4WD Automatic Sante Fe in Premium SE trim with
Convenience Pack, which boasts Smart Electric
Tailgate, Panoramic Sunroof, Autonomous
Emergency Braking, Smart Cruise Control and
Around View Monitor. In addition, the Santa Fe
Endurance will also feature additional special
equipment.
Customers can choose from five limited
colours: solid Creamy White, pearl White Crystal,
metallic Titanium Silver, pearl Phantom Black and
metallic Mineral Blue - the same colour as that of
Bergel’s expedition car.
Endurance Editions are further marked out by
19-inch alloy wheels – wrapped in 235/55 R19
tyres – Side Bar Sport running steps. The final
touch is a special Endurance logo, which can be
found on the B-pillar and interior floor mats. The
eye-catching logo commemorates Shackleton’s
Endurance expedition and features the
Shackleton Family Motto and a 28-point compass
representing the 28 crew that survived.
The Santa Fe Endurance will be priced at
£38,995, representing a saving of £2,400 over a
standard Premium SE with Convenience Pack
and Automatic transmission and can be ordered
from 18 May 2017.
Tony Whitehorn, President and CEO of
Hyundai UK said: “This new Endurance Edition
offers customers an incredibly well-equipped
Santa Fe, one that will be able to tackle
everything family life throws at it….and more. As
Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Great Grandson, Patrick
Bergel proved just a few months ago, with just a
few choice modifications, you could even
traverse Antartica!”
