Hyundai revealed its radically transformed all-new Santa Fe SUV ahead of its global debut next month. The fifth-generation midsized SUV carries its nature-meets-city appeal, while also implementing changes shaped by the latest lifestyle trends.
The Santa Fe’s first model change since 2018, Hyundai took an unconventional approach with a lifestyle-based design to maximize rear cargo capacity and better accommodate outdoor and urban activities. As a result, the new model boasts of a powerful yet detailed exterior design and a spacious, versatile interior. The enlarged tailgate opens up providing users with a terrace-like space.
The all-new Santa Fe’s boxy shape and distinctive silhouette are derived from its long wheelbase and wide tailgate area. The front features a high hood and H-shaped headlights and sharp fenders. The H-shaped headlights integrate with the H-motif lower front design as well.
From the side, the lengthened wheelbase accommodates a squared off roofline, powerful volume around the fenders, sharply defined wheel arches, a shortened front overhang, and 21-inch wheels.
Defined by its larger tailgate, the rear end is simpler, balancing the overall exterior design. The H-shaped taillights are unified with the front H lights to create visual harmony.
The more accommodating tailgate creates a spacious interior with a terrace-like feel at the rear when open. The fully foldable second- and third-row seats provide class-leading interior space.
The interior itself contrasts with the exterior by emphasizing horizontal and vertical lines, with an H-motif design applied to the dashboard and air vents. The all-new Santa Fe’s interior refinement is exemplified by a variety of high-tech features, including a Panoramic Curved Display and dual wireless charging. The curved display connects the 12.3-inch digital cluster and infotainment system and enhances driver visibility.
In addition, the brightly colored seats and headliner create a sense of spaciousness, while the soft-touch wood-patterned garnish and nappa leather seats with delicate embroidery add sophistication. The Santa Fe also incorporates several sustainable materials. The suede headliner, car mats, and second- and third-row seatbacks are made from recycled plastic, while the crash pad and door trim covers are made from eco-friendly leatherette.
Hyundai will reveal more information about the all-new Santa Fe, including powertrain details at its global premiere in August.
Kudos to hyundai, this new bold approach in the design exterior and interior wise has not been seen on any other vehicle in the market

ReplyDeleteHyundai has the balls to release a car that looks like a concept car. Very nice!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely blatantly inspired by Land Rover, even the steering wheel with Hyundai's 4 dots emblem is reminiscent of Land Rover products. I like some of Hyundai's twist to the design, like the headlamp signature up front. However, the rear looks more van than SUV, and the way the rear fenders are lower than the front plus how the window silhouette narrows to the back makes the entire thing look unbalanced, almost as if it is fully loaded even though it isn't.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing. You're getting the land rover look without the land rover's notorious build quality. 🤪
DeleteOn top of that, the rear overhang is much longer than the front, adding to the awkward look from the side.
DeleteIt looks like a Range Rover or Land Cruiser wannabe.
ReplyDeleteI don't see a single angle that makes it remind me of a landcruiser. Range rover, yes. Landcruiser, no.
DeleteProbably Just me But The Design Choice For the Taillights and It's Positioning is Weird, It's Kind of too Low To the Rear Bumper to be Seen From Vehicles with a Very High Suspension (E.G That One Dude with a Ranger Raptor that Made It's Suspension over 2.5 Meters Long) So It Kind Of Makes it Complicated to See For me
ReplyDeleteThe low taillights is because they wanted the tailgate to open as big and as wide as possible.
DeleteLove the front but the back..
ReplyDeleteThe back looks too flat, like kind of outdated; but it's also good to see Hyundai bring back retro looks and boxy SUVs of the past.
DeleteI believe powerplant would be 2.5-liter I4 petrol, hybrid, or PHEV.
ReplyDeleteHow about the price? By the looks of it, it might get closer and closer to P3M.
ReplyDeleteI'd Likely Bet the Price Around 2.5 Million to 4 Million on the Highest Trim Available For Me Atleast
Deletethis just looks like an uglier ford flex. hyundai running out of ideas
ReplyDeletewhich in turn was based on the L322 model of the Range Rover which Ford blatantly copied while LR was under their ownership.
DeleteThe Hyundai Santa deFEnder
ReplyDeleteI mean the Santa Frange Rover
ReplyDeletei would like to see 4X4 or AWD if there is? even only 311 nm tork.
