The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe has stepped into the limelight with a compelling transformation. Unveiled recently, this fifth-generation model boasts bold styling changes accompanied by increased dimensions, particularly notable in the U.S. market where a third row of seats makes a triumphant return.

Revamping style and space

The previous Santa Fe iteration, launched in 2019 and updated in 2021, appears worlds apart from the all-new 2024 edition. The unmistakable H-shaped front and rear lighting elements give the new Santa Fe a distinct Hyundai identity.

This redesign is not just for show; the vehicle’s larger proportions are apparent. Measuring at 190.2 inches in length, the new Santa Fe stretches 1.8 inches beyond its predecessor. Furthermore, the wheelbase extends by 1.9 inches, creating more space for passengers, particularly in the third row.

 

Interior elegance and functionality

Inside, the changes are just as striking. The dashboard, boasting an upright layout with subtle H-shaped elements, exemplifies modern sophistication. The focal point is a curved panel housing two 12.3-inch screens—one for the gauge cluster and the other for the infotainment system.

This design strategy delivers a balanced, user-friendly interface while retaining hard-push buttons for crucial functions. Placing priority on passenger comfort, the second and third rows offer increased headroom and legroom, ensuring a spacious experience for occupants.

Unveiling the outdoor lifestyle

The 2024 Santa Fe isn’t just about aesthetics and comfort; it’s geared towards an adventurous lifestyle. Hyundai’s design team has prioritized utility and versatility, creating a vehicle that adapts to outdoor activities. By reconfiguring the tailgate area and employing smart engineering solutions,

Hyundai has optimized cargo space and access for a range of gear. The vehicle’s enhanced storage options, including wireless charging pads and innovative UV-C sanitization, cater to modern needs.

Powertrain evolution

While style and space grab attention, the powertrain also sees improvements. In the U.S., the Santa Fe will come with two primary powertrain options: a tweaked 2.5-liter turbo inline-four mated to an eight-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission, and a base hybrid variant featuring a 1.6-liter turbo-four and an electric motor, paired with a six-speed automatic. Although these powertrains might deliver slightly reduced potency due to the Santa Fe’s increased size, the focus is on efficiency and environmental responsibility.

A bigger adventure

Hyundai’s 2024 Santa Fe redefines the mid-size SUV segment with its audacious design, expanded dimensions, and thoughtful enhancements. The incorporation of modern technology, spacious interiors, and innovative storage solutions reflects Hyundai’s dedication to crafting a vehicle that suits the dynamic needs of modern families. While performance details are still emerging, the Santa Fe’s focus on creating a versatile and comfortable environment suggests it’s well-equipped to deliver memorable adventures for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Hyundai’s 2024 Santa Fe is already making waves, and with its anticipated launch in early 2024, this SUV aims to become a standout choice in its category. With a starting price estimated around $45,000, the Santa Fe’s value proposition, combined with its exceptional features, makes it a contender for those seeking both style and substance in their family vehicle.
