After approximately three months since its launch in its home country of South Korea, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2024 has now made its official appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2023, marking its “export” debut.
At the show, the Hyundai Santa Fe presents itself with a familiar look compared to its domestic market counterpart. The car continues to boast a square and robust design that invokes strong associations with the Land Rover Defender.
In terms of dimensions, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe measures 4,830 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and its height ranges between 1,720 mm and 1,780 mm depending on the configuration. It has a wheelbase of 2,815 mm. Compared to its predecessor, the new Santa Fe is 45 mm longer and 20 mm taller, with the distance between its axles increased by over 50 mm. As a result, the vehicle’s luggage volume has also been expanded from 634 liters to 725 liters (with the third-row seats folded).
The front of the car stands out with its distinctive “H” shaped headlights, which are accompanied by the Hyundai logo on the bonnet. Furthermore, the car features running lights that run parallel to the bonnet.
Observing the car from the side, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe showcases extended wheel arches and a squared-off design, giving it a powerful and sporty appearance. The car flaunts flat surfaces and a gently sloping roofline, while a rugged black luggage rack enhances its overall aesthetics. The window line of the car no longer tilts up at the C-pillar but extends straight to the rear of the vehicle. Each version of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2024 will come with its own unique alloy wheels.
At the rear, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped with taillights designed in a “H” graphic. This light strip sits lower, closer to the trunk lid area. The car also boasts hidden windshield wipers.
For those who prefer a fresh and sporty look, Hyundai offers the option to choose the new XRT Santa Fe version. This variant boasts a rugged design with a more muscular exterior. It comes with 18-inch wheels, 30-inch off-road tires, and a 38 mm raised ground clearance compared to the regular version.
Inside the cabin, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe showcases a modern and luxurious design with a touch of minimalism yet sophistication.
The car features a panoramic curved screen that incorporates a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment system. Additional standout features inside the driver’s cabin include a premium Bose 12-speaker sound system, dual wireless charging, and relaxing seats with footrests. Moreover, the Santa Fe 2024 is equipped with digital key technology, a digital rearview mirror, and a UV-C disinfection compartment.
In the US market, the car remains available in two seating configurations: 2+2+2 and 2+3+2. With the 6-seat configuration, the car is fitted with two business class seats in the middle. However, the third-row seats might be a bit cramped for passengers over 1.8 meters tall. On the other hand, passengers are provided with cup holders, power outlets, USB ports, and air vents.
Regarding safety equipment, the Santa Fe available in the US market comes with a range of driving assistance features, which include Smart Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, and Lane Following Assist. Other systems consist of Smart Limited Speed Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance, Remote Smart Parking Assist, Safe Exit Assist, and Surround View Monitor.
In addition, the Santa Fe will be Hyundai’s first car in the US to feature a distracted driver warning system. The car uses an infrared camera to monitor the driver’s gazes and provide timely warnings and reminders.
Under the hood of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe in the US, customers can choose between two engine options. The first engine is a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine capable of generating a maximum power of 277 horsepower and a peak torque of 421 Nm.
The second choice is a hybrid powertrain that combines a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor, delivering a total power output of 232 horsepower and a maximum torque of 367 Nm. The engine will be paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and is available with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations.
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is expected to be officially launched in the US market next year. Customers will have the option to purchase the car online through the Amazon app.
The pricing details for the US market have not been announced yet.
