Hyundai Motor has unveiled the all-new SANTA FE SUV in the Middle East and Africa regions, showcasing its transformative redesign under the theme of 'Open for More'.
This fifth-generation SANTA FE introduces a paradigm shift with its city-friendly yet adventure-ready appeal, boasting a spacious interior akin to a terrace and enhanced third-row seating facilitated by its elongated wheelbase and larger tailgate opening.
Bryan Park, President of Hyundai Motor Company, expressed the significance of this iconic SUV's evolution, stating, "The All-New Santa Fe embodies the boundless outdoors and urban landscape, establishing an unrivaled presence in the mid-sized SUV segment."
In terms of exterior design, Hyundai Motor adopted an innovative approach, commencing from the expanded tailgate area to enhance outdoor enjoyment before crafting the rest of the exterior. The result is a robust, boxy silhouette with a commanding presence, complemented by distinctive features such as the H-shaped headlamps and bold wheel arches.
Internally, the SANTA FE's interior design mirrors the exterior's balance of strength and sophistication, with an emphasis on horizontal and vertical elements. The dashboard and air vents feature an H-shaped design, promoting a sense of spaciousness and equilibrium.
The vehicle's practical profile caters to urban and outdoor activities alike, offering ample cargo capacity and a spacious tailgate opening. Notably, the SANTA FE prioritizes passenger comfort, with increased legroom and headroom in the second and third rows, making it ideal for extended journeys.
Moreover, the SANTA FE is equipped with a plethora of premium features to enhance comfort and convenience, including a high-speed wireless charging system for smartphones and a UV-C Sterilization Tray for easy sterilization of frequently used items.
Safety features are also abundant, with advanced driver assistance systems such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 and Lane Following Assist 2, ensuring a confident driving experience.
Under the hood, the SANTA FE offers two powertrain options: a gasoline 2.5-liter engine with 194 ps output and a more potent gasoline 2.5-liter turbocharged engine delivering 281 ps output, providing plenty of fuel-efficient power for both city commutes and outdoor adventures.
