Hyundai to unveil the Santa Fe Sport concept at SEMA 2017

The Santa Fe Sport will be one of many Hyundai models that will be debuted at SEMA 2017 later of this month.

The Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is probably not capable enough to be ranked among the world's best off-road SUVs. Yet, with the extreme-looking concept to be shown at SEMA 2017 in the next few weeks in Las Vegas, there is a high change that this car could actually make it to the list of best off-roaders in the planet.

Hyundai Rockstar Energy Moab Extreme Off Roader Santa Fe Sport Concept

Created from the cooperation between Hyundai and Rockstar - a famous energy drink brand and designed based on Moab Extreme Off-Roadster concept, the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport promises to defeat any tough terrain. It is even expected to conquer the extreme climax in Moab, Utah - one of the world’s most challenging off-road area.

The extreme Santa Fe’s kit list is fully loaded

Mr. Nic Ashby from Rockstar Marketing said that being strengthened with the prominent Santa Fe Sport platform and transmission system, the vehicle’s capabilities are boosted greatly to higher limits, pledging to conquer the peak of challenges in every tough road in Moab.

1 new bumper
1 Warn winch

According to latest car news, although Hyundai does not provide any official figures, with all of these improvements, we expect that the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport could be much stronger than the factory variant.

For the cabin, a Kicker sound system was supplemented besides a custom leather interior which is sure to be displayed impressively at the car’s debut. The Rockstar Energy Moab Extreme Off-Roader Santa Fe Sport concept will be launched in Vegas when SEMA 2017 officially takes place on Tuesday October 31.
