  • Read on and give us a call to learn more about the 2024 SANTA FE.

Bold Exterior and Practical Design

The first thing that catches the eye with the 2024 Santa Fe is its distinct, rugged design. Drawing inspiration from off-road vehicles, the Santa fe’s sharp lines, wide stance, and prominent H-shaped elements on the grille give it a commanding presence on the road. But this new design isn’t just for show—it’s also highly functional. The squared-off tailgate and extended wheelbase increase cargo space and make the vehicle better suited for carrying larger adventure gear, and hidden assist handles allow for easy access to roof cargo.

Performance and Powertrain

Under the hood, the 2024 Santa Fe comes equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four engine, delivering a robust 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, offering smooth and quick, responsive shifts. While not designed for sports-car like driving, the Santa Fe’s performance is more than adequate for daily commuting and family road trips. Its ride is tuned for comfort, absorbing road imperfections well, though sharp bumps can occasionally be felt inside the cabin. The Santa Fe’s towing capacity goes up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped, adding another layer of utility for families who need to haul trailers or boats.

For those seeking more fuel efficiency, a hybrid Santa Fe variant is available, making it an attractive option for eco-conscious buyers.

Comfortable and Spacious Interior

Hyundai has paid special attention to practicality, with features like dual wireless phone charging pads, abundant storage spaces, and seats that fold completely flat for versatile cargo configurations. High-quality materials and a focus on comfort make the interior feel almost luxurious, especially in higher trims like the Calligraphy.
