“Cheap” Hyundai Santa Fe appeared in Russia. But there is a nuance – Motor

Dealerships offer to save money by buying cars imported through parallel imports. Such Sante Fe will cost buyers a million and a half cheaper. However, such machines will not have a full manufacturer’s warranty. In addition, the “gray” crossovers have a higher declared engine power, and hence the transport tax.

For example, Sante Fe, equipped with a 2.2-liter diesel engine in Russia, are certified for 199 horsepower. For crossovers brought from South Korea, the power of a similar unit according to the passport is 202 horsepower. It seems that the difference is not significant, but in reality the tax rate will be a third higher.
