After showing off the design of the all-new 2024 Santa Fe last month, Hyundai has now revealed even more information on its radically transformed three-row SUV including dimensions, powertrain details, and some key convenience features.
Dimensionally, the all-new Santa Fe measures in at 4,830 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and between 1,770 mm to 1,780 mm in height (wheel & tire-dependent). Its wheelbase has grown to 2,815 mm contributing to its “terrace-like” space.
The Santa Fe now boasts of a much larger interior volume. It boasts of best-in-class third-row comfort with legroom bumped up by 15 mm to 761 mm. Headroom has also been increased by 69 mm to 958 mm, while the third-row seating height is now up 30 mm to 282 mm. Furthermore, the third-row seats can be reclined by 10 degrees. Moving over to the second row, the length is now 1,075 mm (+ 35 mm). The legroom meanwhile is up 20 mm to 1,055 mm. Cargo room is up 725 liters (+91 liters).
The first-row Relaxation Seat with Leg Rest—first launched in the Ioniq 5—allows occupants to relax in a comfortable position that helps simulate a weightless experience for its occupants. “Ergo Motion Seats” utilize air bladders to provide comfort and optimal support while driving. In the six-seat variant, the second row offers power-reclining functionality with arm rests. The power fold-and-dive seats also add a cushion-angle adjustment to create a relaxation mode.
In terms of powertrain, the all-new Santa Fe will be available with several powertrain options—none of them being a diesel. The base engine is a 2.5-liter normally-aspirated engine (Theta III 2.5 GDI) mated to an 8-speed automatic making 194 horsepower and 246 Nm of torque (0 to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds, 198 km/h top speed). A turbocharged version of the same engine mated to an 8-speed dual clutch provides 281 horsepower and 422 Nm of torque (0 to 100 km/h in 8 seconds, 210 km/h top speed).
Two electrified turbocharged engines will also be made available. The 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid (Gamma III 1.6T GDI HEV) mated to a 6-speed automatic delivers 180 horsepower and 265 Nm of torque (0 to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds, 190 km/h top speed). A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the same powertrain will be made available as well (power figures still pending, but 0 to 100 km/h in 9.1 seconds, top speed of 190 km/h).
Aside from the special air-bladder equipped seats, the all-new Santa Fe boasts of dual wireless charging, a first-in-class Panoramic Curved Display with dual 12.3-inch screens, and even a UV-C Sterilization Tray.
The all-new Hyundai Santa Fe is scheduled for release in Korea in the second half of this year. In select global markets, it will be launching in the first half of 2024.
Looks and steering wheel from land rover, door panels from g class. Looks premium and expensive.
ReplyDeleteSame with Land Cruiser which is also obviously ripped off from the Land Rover
DeleteFor me it looks like a Land Rover + Ford Explorer + van.
DeleteHyundai and KIA vehicles tend to have good exterior designs but their interior material quality is not so good though. Too much plastic and they feel cheap compared to competitors.
ReplyDeleteTry to check Sorrento or Santa Fe/Palisade if it still feels plasticky to you. It depends on the price range so materials quality will also reflect based on the pricing.
DeleteIf accurate nga ang "too much plastic and they feel cheap compared to competitors", then what more pa kaya ang nissan at mga daihatsu-based toyota models? Nagpapatawa ka lang ata eh.
DeleteIf you mean hyundai accent then yes, but hyundais (and kias especially) had been solid on interior materials for about 5 yrs now. Pangit lang talaga mga model nila sa pinas. E.g. The sante fe (before the current one sold locally) was available with full tan leather seats, branded speakers and panoramic roof in north america.
DeleteI'm pointing this out not because I hate Hyundai/KIA vehicles but because I want them to improve on it. Their quality may be better than the Chinese but not better than Japanese.
