据韩国汽车博客透露，下一代现代胜达将于明年2月在韩国亮相。不过，该网站并未透露消息的来源。最近拍摄的谍照显示，下一代胜达今年全年都在进行测试。现代汽车美国公司CEO Dave Zuchowksi去年底表示，现代明年将推出两款SUV。现代据说将使三排座和双排座胜达以及双排胜达运动版之间有更多不同以免让顾客搞混。或许双排座版本将采用新的名称。此外，新车的车身尺寸进一步增加，外观也将更粗犷。从谍照看，新车的车头造型取自Kona，包括分立式前大灯和更大格栅。新车看起来很大。车厢内将配备升级后的信息娱乐系统并提供抬头显示器。如果新车明年2月在韩国首次亮相，很快也将在北美市场首次亮相，预计明年下半年在美国上市。

Next-Generation Hyundai Santa Fe To Debut In February 2018

The next-generation Hyundai Santa Fe will allegedly debut in South Korea in February 2018, according to The Korean Car Blog. Unfortunately, the site doesn't cite a source for this premiere date, so we still have to take it with a grain of salt for now.

The timing makes sense, though. Spy shots have revealed the next-gen Santa Fe testing throughout the year. In addition, Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowksi said in late 2016 that the company would introduce two SUVs in 2018. Hyundai allegedly intends to differentiate the three-row Santa Fe and two-row Santa Fe Sport to a greater degree because customers reportedly confuse them. Part of this would happen by giving the smaller one a new name. In addition, the Santa Fe would grow larger and gain a more rugged appearance.

The latest spy photos show the Santa Fe's front end taking cues from the Kona by using split headlights and a large grille. It looks quite big, too. Inside, the model would gain an updated infotainment system and available head-up display, according to The Korean Car Blog. If the Santa Fe debuts in South Korea in February, look for a North American premiere soon after. Sales in the United States would then likely begin in the latter half of 2018.
