Hyundai has unveiled the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe, pulling the wrapper on an all-new fifth-generation for the brand’s midsize crossover. Highlights include a new design inside and out that prioritizes cargo capacity and practicality, as well as the return of a three-row seating configuration, previously offered in the third-generation Santa Fe XL. When it goes on sale, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe will rival the two-row Chevy Blazer crossover.
Outside, the all-new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe presents a longer wheelbase, as well as a large tailgate, the latter of which provides ample access to the rear cargo area. Hyundai’s H-light design motif is seen front and back, and includes H-shaped headlamps that also enhance the crossover’s front-end girth. The exterior shows off a defined, upright shape that underlines the model’s utility-oriented demeanor, complemented by large, boxy fenders, a short front overhang, and plus-sized 21-inch wheels.
Further H-shaped designs were added in the new cabin, which places an emphasis on space thanks to its fully foldable second- and third-row seating. High-tech features include a Panoramic Curved Display that connects a 12.3-inch digital cluster and the infotainment system in a series of horizontal readouts, as well as dual wireless device charging. Cabin materials include soft-touch wood-patterned garnish, as well as Nappa leather upholstery. There’s also a series of eco-friendly materials offered, such as recycled-plastic suede for the headliner, mats, and second- and third-row seatbacks, and eco-friendly leatherette for the crash pad and door trim covers.
Hyundai declined to detail the powertrain specs, but the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is expected to cradle a turbocharged 2.5L I4 gasoline engine, with front-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive as optional. A hybrid option is also expected.
The all-new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe will get its full world premier next month on Hyundai’s YouTube channel. As already mentioned, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe will rival the two-row Chevy Blazer, while the larger Hyundai Palisade rivals the Chevy Traverse and (now-larger-for-2024) GMC Acadia.

So they went from a weird looking bubble with curves and weird overall portfolio. To a box with some weird angles to not get sued by LR defender lol…
interior is back to the 1980ies … do not like those mid consoles, the electronic television could be more integrated to the fascia but …. well we have worse outthere on streets, for example Tesla, GM etc
for some reason see it as Land Rover or Range Rover of Tata
I cannot believe I am about to type what I am but here goes…..that is freaking super cool looking.
It is Retro 80’s and futuristic looking at the same time. Wow
Hyundai makes polarizing vehicles, most of which I don’t like at all, but I actually think this Flex/Range Rover thing looks great. Hyundai-Kia will sell over 7M vehicles globally this year and may surpass flailing VW as #2 overall.
LOL for once I actually AM going to say it looks like something…. It looks like a Range Rover!
Hyundai powertrains are about as reliable as Range Rover. So, it’s fitting. 🤣
It’s like a Range Rover and a Ford Flex had an illegitimate offspring… yuck!
Wierd styling has always been their thing
1. front ok 2. back ok, 3 why outer mirror placed wrongly ? 4. why those 2 white vertical stripes at side rear ?
What is so wrong about the mirrors? Better sightlines, less wind noise. Already very common.
Looks like Chinese Land Rover Copycat🤣
I am getting hints of a Ford Flex\Explorer vibes from the side profile, which, as you stated, is a copycat.
Hyundai would compete with Buick if Buick upped their game.
Ford Flex – is that you?
This should the target for GMC with the next gen Terrain.
What’s with all the octagonal wheel openings on SUVs now? Cars are supposed to look like they’re ready to go, so why does this thing look like it’s made up of stop signs?
Looks good.. I bought my current Santa Fe Calligraphy in mid 2021. So far I am very happy with about 30 thousand miles.
Just out of curiosity, what has been your experience with the dual clutch transmission?
The exterior styling borrows a lot from Land Rover…except the low mounted rear lamps which reminds me of a mini van. Other than that it’s an interesting design imo.
There maybe some cross shopping with the Blazer but this thing will have A LOT more interior room than the Chevy. The supposed “mid-size” Blazer and compact segment Equinox have almost the same interior volume. Very little difference. The cross shopping on those two Chevy products is almost certainly very high.
