Ever since it came to the market two decades ago, Santa Fe has been a hit with buyers and the media alike, especially with its previous, more conventional design.
Hyundai fully redesigned the Santa Fe for 2024. Hyundai aims to position it as a rugged, luxurious alternative to more expensive competitors. Gone is the previous model’s more traditional styling in favor of a bold, premium look that’s a departure from the norm.
Hyundai also offers two powertrains for the 2024 Santa Fe: a fuel-efficient hybrid and a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine. There are five 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe trims to choose from: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy.
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy sits at the top of the lineup with features such as bold multi-spoke wheels, massage seats for both the driver and front passenger, and many more.
As a seven-seater SUV, the 2024 Santa Fe prioritizes comfort. Its longer wheelbase makes the cabin more spacious. The cabin has a more sophisticated look that combines a mix of solid and well-built quality materials. The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe interior is available in four color options: Obsidian Black, Supersonic Gray, Pecan Brown, and Forest Green.
The second-row seats have plenty of headroom even for taller passengers, and the cabin keeps road noise at a minimum. Passengers can delight themselves in captain’s chairs (in the Calligraphy trim) complete with USB-C outlets, heated seats, and ample storage. The third row itself, typically a cramped spot in most large SUVs, has a good headroom and legroom in the Santa Fe.
The dashboard features two 12.3-inch screens. One is for the driver, while the other is a touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®. Additional interior features include a 6.6-inch touchscreen for climate control, wireless phone chargers, large cup holders, and an armrest with storage.
At first glance, the 2024 Santa Fe distinguishes itself with a dramatic and fresh design that’s completely different from its previous generations. Hyundai’s “H” pattern appears on the headlights, DRLs, lower bumper, and even on the side of the vehicle.
Despite sporting a boxy silhouette, the Santa Fe features subtle curves and sharp lines that flow from the front fascia to the rear. Up front, the car boasts its signature H-shaped headlamp design and highly detailed fenders. The rear features a wider liftgate than the previous generation, which gives the SUV improved stability while on the road. H-shaped taillights complete the look of Santa Fe’s rear.
For the lower trims, 18-inch alloy wheels are standard. On the Calligraphy trim, the Santa Fe features 21-inch dark finish alloy wheels, while the Limited comes with 20-inch wheels.
As for color options for the exterior of the 2024 Santa Fe, there are five of them, which are as follows:
The 2024 Santa Fe is available in two efficient powertrain options, both available in front- or all-wheel drive. The first one is the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine. Paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, it produces 277 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft of torque. For eco-conscious drivers, a 1.6-liter hybrid engine capable of producing 231 horsepower and 271 lb.-ft of torque is also available.
The 2024 Santa Fe doesn’t disappoint when it comes to driving dynamics and fuel efficiency. On the road, the ride is smooth thanks to balanced suspension, especially with the all-wheel drive variants.
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is a strong contender in the midsize SUV market. It checks the boxes for its rugged looks, luxurious features, and practicality while being affordable.
