Hyundai Santa Fe - Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

It’s hard to drive three blocks in North America these days without seeing some version of the Hyundai Santa Fe mid-size crossover. It’s a massive seller for both the brand and in the segment in general, and for good reason; over the last few generations, it’s looked unique, it’s come well-equipped and such are Hyundai’s trim offerings that the buying process is exceedingly simple. It ticks a tonne of boxes…and now, there’s an all-new one.

And it’s quite the thing.

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe has a boxier shape overall. The front, sides, and rear all appear to have relatively flat surfaces. But the looks are deceiving. The new Santa Fe is quite slippery in the wind.

All-new for the 2024 model year, the Santa Fe ditches the current model’s swoops, and curves for a more upright, angled shape. Larger than the vehicle it replaces, the new SUV also has a larger footprint.

The Hyundai Santa Fe is currently experiencing a bit of a Rodney Dangerfield moment.

Hyundai’s mid-mid-sizer, and original SUV on these shores, can’t get no respect. Above it sits the Palisade, a most-excellent three-row option that has been earning rave reviews since it released ( from AutoGuide included). Meanwhile, below it sits the 2022 Tucson, a radical rethink of the company’s best-seller, and arguably now the best option in the class.

Don’t count out the Santa Fe. A comprehensive revamp for this model year, not least of which is a wholly updated engine lineup, keeps it competitive against the likes of the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Edge, and Subaru Outback. Even better, the Santa Fe now comes in a fancy-pants Calligraphy trim like its big brother, which adds a level of luxury that’s anything but common in this class.

The Santa Fe has taken on many different roles in its two decades on our soil.

It was Hyundai’s first SUV for the North American market when it debuted in 2001. It remained the largest soft-roader offering until the unloved, three-row Veracruz debuted in 2007. When that disappeared, the Santa Fe grew an XL variant to accommodate. Then for this latest generation, debuting in 2019, the Santa Fe went back down to two rows. It was a pre-emptive move to make room for the excellent Palisade—which if we’re honest, overshadowed Hyundai’s longest-running SUV.

Just two years later, the Santa Fe now gets its own time in the spotlight with a comprehensive update. In come massaged looks, new gas engines, and a healthy round of tech improvements. More importantly, 2021 sees a hybrid model join the lineup for the first time—and thanks to a smart transmission choice, the hybrid has become an excellent all-rounder in its own right.

The value-laden brand from Korea jumped on the SUV bandwagon nearly twenty years ago with the original Santa Fe. Priced thousands less than its main competition, it didn’t take long for the things to start cropping up along our roads like so much kudzu. Nowadays, Hyundai is armed with a fleet of SUVs and crossovers, two of which we’ll profile here.

In addition to the mainstream Santa Fe is the one-size-smaller Tucson. Originally intended as an entry-level ute into the brand, there are now two options in the Hyundai stable that are more diminutive than it. In fact, with a brace of littler and larger SUVs bookending the Tucson, it now represents Medium instead of Small in the Hyundai range.

And so the world turns. If you’re shopping these two vehicles, you’ll want to check out our comparison which starts right now.
