In the US market, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe has a price range of $33,950 – $48,800 (excluding $1,395 shipping fee).
In the new generation, the Hyundai Santa Fe seems to have an exclusive design with straight lines and angular accents replacing the smooth curves and fluid surfaces. At this point, the appearance is nothing surprising, but this model still draws attention with its H-shaped headlights and angular fenders…
The designers have also equipped the crossover with H-shaped taillights, a wider tailgate, and optional 21-inch wheels.
Compared to its predecessor, the 2024 Santa Fe has increased in size with an overall length of 4,830 mm and a wheelbase of 2,815 mm, meaning an increase of 46 and 48 mm respectively.
Moving inside, the cabin impresses with a luxurious and spacious feel. The car is equipped with a panoramic curved screen, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment system.
Other highlights include a premium Bose 12-speaker audio system, dual wireless phone charging, and relaxing seats with footrests. Additionally, the 2024 Santa Fe is equipped with digital key technology, digital rearview mirrors, and UV-C disinfection compartments.
Furthermore, the Santa Fe also offers more convenient second and third-row seats. The second-row legroom has increased by 36 mm, while the third-row occupants now have the best-in-class legroom.
In terms of safety features, the new Santa Fe receives a range of driver assistance systems including Smart Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, and Lane Following Assist. Other systems include Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist, Remote Smart Parking Assist, Safe Exit Assist, and Surround View Monitor.
The Santa Fe will also be the first Hyundai model in the US to feature driver attention warning. The vehicle uses infrared cameras to monitor the driver and see where they are looking.
Especially, customers looking for a more rugged and adventurous version can choose the Santa Fe XRT variant, which was previewed as a concept beforehand. Designed to appeal to “adventure enthusiasts”, this model features a unique exterior with black accents and dark chrome trim.
In terms of performance, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is available with two turbocharged engines, including a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine producing 277 horsepower and 421 Nm of torque, which is significantly more powerful than the previous naturally aspirated 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with 191 horsepower and 245 Nm of torque.
Customers who prioritize environmental friendliness can opt for the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo-hybrid engine, generating a combined output of 232 horsepower and 367 Nm of torque. These figures are slightly higher than the previous hybrid version with 226 horsepower. The engines are paired with six and eight-speed automatic transmissions.
