[pwuser163456691455]

We got the PBO on 12 Feb and the delivery of car on 22nd Feb. In fact the car arrived on 20th Feb but we were busy to pick it up from showroom. Papers came with the car. Our car was assembled on 18th Feb written on the front wind shield. We got it insured right from the showroom. Got a good deal with A+ company.

Nishat Motors starts exporting Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid to Sri Lanka

The company made the announcement through a social media post, highlighting the delivery of Santa Fe Hybrid CBU units to Sri Lanka. “By delivering SANTA FE Hybrid CBU units to Sri Lanka, we uphold government policies, international standards, and our commitment to Pakistan’s economic growth,” the company said.
Hyundai Nishat officials confirmed that the units are locally assembled in Pakistan. “The company exported a few units on March 4,” the official shared.
This development is particularly notable as the local automotive industry has traditionally been reliant on imports, making the export of locally assembled vehicles a significant achievement.

Quick questions for Santa Fe Owners: Have any of you PPF'd your car? Is it worth it here in Khi? Clifton dealer said not to do it as it will negate the warranty, whereas She- Faisal said it doesn't matter and they shall do it for me.

Would appreciate your feedback on this.

Thank you

Principally I am not in favour of wrapping, ppf, and ceramic coating etc. These are newly introduced to the car market in pakistan. Previously people use to own expensive black or any color cars and didn't wrap. I believe by putting a film you prevent the paint to come in contact with the environment. It is like to isolate it from the beneficial exposure to oxygen yet it also exposes to lot of hazardous elements in the air.
One bad thing in our society is that people do the ppf to hide the painted parts of the vehicle. That is why pakwheels inspection service clearly mentions that vehicle is wrapped or has ppf.
So in my personal view try to avoid any application to the paint surface. Protect it from scratches and do the regular waxing or polishing of a good brand.

Anyone can disagree as it is my personal opinion which could be not right.

The manager of the dealership I got my Santa Fe from was an acquaintance. He clearly told me not to get a PPF and if I really wanted to then get it in 4-6 months after the paint has properly solidified/cooked whatever you want to call it. The reason was not warranty but the PPF quality. maybe it has gotten better now but I don't know.

any chance a non hybrid santa fe will be launched with 2.5 enginer?

[pwuser163456691455]

[pwuser163456691455]

No chance at all. If even we assume they will bring it, the cost will be above 20 Million because of tax on higher CC engines. It is the Hybrid Add On which is keeping the price of Santa Fe arround 20 Million.

[fastian04]

that manager should be working at general store since he has no domain on this area at best. PPF is always preferred on day 0. There is nothing like paint healing in new factory released models. We have such uneducated and uninformed people hired by companies.. it's a pity. Bro, just ask that manager sb about some difference in timing chain and belt and he will be ... gawachi gaan ..
Unless nishat paints at open road side shop with desi thinner, no factory paint needs paint to be cooked under sun.

[pwuser167550015690]

Actually, a lot of the top PPF studios around also recommend between 4-6 weeks after production before installing PPF. I checked with both Protek and Reflections in Lahore and both refused to take my car on Day 0 and told me to come after at least 1 month so the paint is properly cured.

[fastian04]

from protek, he did my car on 1st day however, what happens is he always have too many cars in queue and it takes a week anyways. Secondly almost all cars arrive to customer minimum 10-15 days after production from body department.

[fastian04]

Sir, in reality PPF is porous and that's why it heals as well, but since it;s micro level porous, we dont feel it. Its a must have to keep black car black and is totally paint safe. 99% people don't go on painted and even if painted the thickness can be verified easily. I have always sold and bough with ppf as rates are adjusted at better vale and only thing i need is right eye and paint thickness meter. its easy to identify, actually.

I recently booked a Santa Fe and it is expected to arrive in a couple of weeks. Could the vehicle owners kindly provide a list of items that come with the car so I can verify them on the day of delivery? The items I am currently aware of include:

• Car Jack
• Bar/tool to lower and retract the spare tire (not sure what it is called)
• Cargo net
• Retractable parcel shelf

What other items are included?

What other items are included?

Floor mats
Owners manual
Secondary key fob

[zee5han]

warranty booklet

[pwuser163456691455]

I got with my Santa Fe Signature booked from Hyundai Central Lahore
Top Cover
Air Press
Petrol 10 Litre
Carpet Boot Matt

[ali.raza.tr]

Are these items provided by the dealership as an extra/complimentary offering or Hyundai bundles these with every Santa Fe these days? Could you or any other member clarify?

[pwuser163456691455]

They were complimentary from the dealership. Ask your dealership for thier complimentary offer. Could be different from what I got.

The top variant of Santa Fe hybrid lacks radar and adaptive cruise. Does it have wireless Apple CarPlay?

The emi offer is tempting but lack of basic features which all competitors are offering is a let down..
