The all-new Santa Fe, first launched in July 2023, has a completely new design inspired by the Land Rover Defender. The SUV has a boxy yet attractive design.
In terms of dimensions, the all-new Santa Fe has a length of 4,830mm, width of 1,900mm, height of 1,720mm, and a wheelbase length of 2,815mm. Compared to its predecessor, the new SUV is 45mm longer, 10mm taller, and has a 50mm longer wheelbase (the width remains the same).
Similar to its exterior, the all-new Santa Fe’s interior has also been significantly upgraded. The standout feature is a pair of high-resolution screens that combine a digital instrument cluster with an infotainment screen.
There is currently no detailed information on the specifications of the Santa Fe for the Southeast Asian region, but in other global markets, the car is equipped with dual wireless charging, LED interior ambient lighting, Nappa leather upholstery, four-zone automatic climate control, and an intelligent driver-assistance system. Last but not least, the Philippine version of the Santa Fe will have a 7-seat configuration.
Under the hood, the all-new Hyundai Santa Fe for the Philippine market will have two drivetrain options. The first option is a 2.5L Theta III turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. In international markets, this engine produces an impressive 281 PS of power and a maximum torque of 421 Nm. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and the brand’s HTrac all-wheel-drive system.
In addition to the 2.5L turbocharged engine, the Santa Fe will also be available with a 1.6L turbo hybrid engine. This engine produces 230 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
