Seems like the new Subaru Impreza WRX ain’t the only one looking better with a mesh-grille; so does the Hyundai Santa Fe as this UK only limited edition proves. Pity they don’t just introduce it to all versions. Anyway, based on the diesel powered Santa Fe CDX model and apart from the sport-mesh grille, the “Limited” features integrated running boards and wheel arch trims, privacy glass, reversing sensors and limited badges. Buyers are opted to choose between four colors – Ebony Black, Sleek Silver, Gun Metal and Black Pearl. According to Hyundai UK, the Santa Fe Limited offers £900-£1,100 worth of additional equipment over the standard CDX model. -Press release and image gallery after the jump
