In a move that’s set to turbocharge the SUV market, Hyundai has unveiled the all-new 2024 Santa Fe in US, starting at an attractive price of $33,950 (INR 28.22 lakh). This latest iteration not only packs a punch with its standard 2.5L turbocharged powertrain but also ups the ante with a more spacious three-row seating arrangement, perfect for family outings or road trips with friends.
The new Santa Fe, which is rolling into dealerships as we speak, isn’t just a pretty face. Its rugged new design belies a sophisticated interior designed from the ground up. Cargo loading is a breeze, thanks to its expanded dimensions, including a liftgate opening that’s nearly six inches wider and two inches taller than its predecessor. The increased wheelbase and length mean more comfort for passengers, with seating options accommodating six or seven, depending on the trim.
Under the hood, the Santa Fe flexes its muscles with a turbocharged, direct-injected 2.5L engine, delivering a hearty 277 horsepower. For those leaning towards a more eco-friendly option, a 1.6L turbocharged hybrid powertrain is also available, with a combined system output of 231 horsepower. These engines are mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch or a six-speed automatic transmission, respectively, with most trims offering either FWD or AWD.
But it’s not all about brawn. The 2024 Santa Fe is smart too. It features OTA1 (Over-The-Air) updates, ensuring the vehicle’s software is always up-to-date. The tech-savvy will appreciate the standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and navigation display, not to mention the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Extras like dual-wireless device charging and a UV-C sanitizing compartment are just the cherry on top.
The new Santa Fe XRT, tailored for the outdoor enthusiast, marks a first for Hyundai with standard all-terrain tires and a beefed-up towing capacity, increasing from 3,500 lbs. to a robust 4,500 lbs. The XRT stands out with its rugged exterior and interior trim, black-finish alloy wheels, and enhanced ground clearance.
Hyundai’s 2024 Santa Fe is more than just an SUV – it’s a statement of versatility, power, and technological sophistication, all wrapped up in a family-friendly package. With its competitive pricing and array of features, this SUV is revving up to take the market by storm.
