Tuscani, Sonata, Santa Fe Chassis Question ? ?

[Shark Authority]

Hi, I was wondering something about the Hyundai Chassis from The Tuscani, Sonata and Santa Fe, if my memory is not wrong someone posted a topic at FXtreme or I dont know if it was in a car news website, but I was reading news of the new Hyundai Tuscani V6 along time ago and as I was reading the article or forum message it said that the new tuscani uses the same chassis as the Sonata since the new V6 engine right ?

Well my question is simple, I was wondering is the Santa Fe Chassis is also the same one used from the Sonata ?

And if I am right dont u think that we can make the new Tusacani AWD with Santa Fe AWD System alot easier ?

I was Just Wondering my Creativity

The Tuscani infact uses the Elantra Chassis and not the Sonata chassis. As the new Elantra chassis is larger than the outgoing model's this enabled Hyundai to put the V6 motor in the Tuscani.
The SantaFe does use the same chassis as the Sonata though.

ponyx2, where'd you hear that?

I heard the tiburon was a completely different platform than the elantra this year. I may be wrong though, so I'm just trying to verify sources.

Jonas, from what I've heard it's built on the XD Elantra chassis.
