Released in December 2009, the Hyundai CM Series II (CM.II) Santa Fe introduced a simplified range, improved occupant safety and a subtle facelift. Initially, the CM.II Santa Fe was only available with a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine (‘2.2 CRDi’), but 3.5-litre petrol V6 models (‘3.5 V6’) were introduced in May 2011. While the 2.2 CRDi variants were fitted with all-wheel drive, the 3.5 V6 variants were strictly front-wheel drive. All variants, however, were fitted with seven seats and available in SLX, Elite and Highlander editions. The CM.II Santa Fe could be identified by its body-coloured grille with horizontal bars, new head- and tail-lights, bumpers, front fog lights, new wing mirrors with integrated indicators, tailgate spoiler, roof rails and alloy wheel designs.
