Santa Fe R in Eco Challenge

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hyundai. All opinions are 100% mine.

I saw this video below and boy, was I amazed?!

Hyundai, one of the world's leading car companies have set world record by proving itself during the global green challenge, where SUVs were tested through climate change, global warming, and all other necessary challenges for any SUV. The green cars, as they are called, should be fuel efficient, with less co2 emmissuions. The hybrid cars, specifically, the sante fe, have won all praises for its features.

For the record, it's not only for its looks:

Below are Santa Fe R Diesel features:

• GreenR - 27% more power and 7% less CO2 emissions*
• ADR 81/02 static laboratory urban cycle test for manual
• SmartR - with push button start and safe reverse technology
• LongR - up to 1,200km on a single tank
• SafeR - 5 star ANCAP safety with rollover sensors*
• 5 star ANCAP applies to all Santa Fe variants built from October 2009
• StrongR - 27% more power and 10% less fuel consumption*
• ADR 81/02 static laboratory urban cycle test for manual

Isn't it cool? Look at the photo below:

The Global Green Challenge ran from Darwin to Adelaide. By far, it was the world's leading, cross-continental showcase of the latest advances in hybrid, electric, solar, low emission, and alternative energy vehicles. The Challenge included two demanding urban loops and covered a total distance of 3,147 kilometers. After seven days of intense competition, the new Santa Fe R diesel had consumed a total of just 160.46 litres of diesel fuel and achieved a low 137.67 grams of CO2 per kilometre. That was when it reached the finish line. Amazing isn't it?

The winning vehicle was driven by the ever gorgeous, former Australian rally champion, Ed Ordynski with the motoring commentator, John Cadogan. 2010's Global Green Challenge will run from the 24th to the 31st of October, and during this challenge, contestants will battle the outback terrain of Tennant Creek, Alice Springs and Coober Pedy.

Hmm.. I wonder, will Hyundai be able to retain its title? Well, we'll see.. OMG! I wanna fly to Australia for this one.. Time to save up...
