The all-new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is the newest styling that showcases the brand’s success, whether in the U. S. or Canada. In the U. S. and internationally. Hyundai Motor Group, which includes the Kia and Genesis brands, is now the world’s third-largest automaker, behind Toyota and Volkswagen. The company posted record sales in the U. S. Hyundai’s 2024 Santa Fe’s combination of attractive styling, practical design and premium price suggests Hyundai’s momentum will continue.
The outgoing Hyundai Santa Fe continues to find new buyers, with sales up 10% last year despite a five-year-old design. But Hyundai knows that the midsize SUV segment is one of the largest and most competitive in the U. S. market. The new Santa Fe will take on heavyweights like the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Explorer and Toyota Highlander. With a 2-inch longer wheelbase, more interior space, popular 3-row seats, unique styling, and an impressive tech pedigree, the 2024 Santa Fe Fe looks like it’s in a position to fight.
If the first step in locating a customer is to “pique interest,” Santa Fe is off to a smart start. Hyundai’s designers have stated that the main goal of this redesign is maximum functionality, and there’s nothing more functional than a box. Based on this purpose and the dramatically square shape it dictated, 4. 2 cubic feet of additional shipping volume (40. 5 cubic feet total) were created in the second row, as well as a tailgate opening that increases 2 inches in height and 5. 7 inches in width. Want to load giant pieces into your new Santa Fe? You’re good to go.
This emphasis on capability carries over into the Santa Fe’s interior design, with multiple storage compartments in the upper and lower middle console, a drawer in the back of the console for second-row passengers, and an additional glove box in the upper dash that can use UV light to disinfect parts stored there. This generation is a first in the automotive world and is among the many complex features the new Hyundai Santa Fe will have, adding a curved center touchscreen, dual smartphone chargers, a virtual rearview camera, and a Tilt Mode with driver’s seat leg assist.
The other big news for the fifth-generation Santa Fe is a concerted shift toward off-road capability. Now presented in a new XRT trim, with 1. 3 inches more floor clearance, innovations in approach, departure and lean angles, as well as exclusive 18 1. 5-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, this Santa Fe can tackle terrain reserved for compromised vehicles. Off-road SUVs. The XRT also takes advantage of hill descent control, powder and snow riding modes, and a four-wheel drive lock setup, which we’ve all experienced on a not-easy-to-off-road circuit that the Santa Fe XRT dealt with with ease.
On-road handling, a quiet cab and pleasant ride quality
The road will dominate use cases for most Santa Fe drivers most of the time. A turbocharged 2. 5-liter four-cylinder engine motivates the SUV and has proven to be more than sufficient at city and highway speeds. Capable of 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, this engine connects to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and delivers 24 mpg. While it’s sleek and sophisticated in peak conditions, stepping on the gas resulted in a noticeable build-up of engine noise and vibration, as well as more powerful power. acceleration of the expected. A 35 mpg hybrid styling will arrive later in 2024.
A 12. 3-inch center touchscreen is popular on each and every 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe
