The all-new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe was launched to much fanfare worldwide and enjoyed enormous popularity in the UAE and GCC. The new radical design change certainly had people talking, so we take a closer dive into some of its interesting features.
Hyundai Santa Fe’s latest generation debuted quite recently, in 2018. Now two years into its life, it would’ve been normal for the crossover to go through a mid-cycle facelift. But this time, Hyundai has decided to give the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe a complete overhaul with a plethora of changes, including a new platform — or at least that’s what they claim. It must be a modified version of the old one, considering a lot of the car still looks the same.
Hyundai has just launched the all-new 2019 Santa Fe. The new generation Santa Fe adopts the company’s new signature design language that was showcased on the Kona crossover. Apart from the exterior change, the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe comes with several new features and a bunch of new powertrains.
The number of cars recalled in the month of June is higher than that in May this year. Here is the list.
The last time we drove the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe was actually the first time we drove it. It was for our industry-best crossover comparo, and it was the 2.4-litre model. That lower-spec model won our comparo, partially because of the promise that you could get this fully-loaded V6 model for less than the price of all the other contenders. So it was time to actually check out the V6 model that won its lesser-engined brother the title in that bout.
A comparo is the best way for an automotive publication to lose advertisers. That’s why you never see a clear winner in so-called comparos by local magazines, with lots of pretty photos to sell copies, no figures to back up any conclusions and three-way ties to make everybody happy. We’ve rarely picked a winner in our previous comparos either, but that’s because most of them were not proper straight-up comparos. We decided to do a serious comparison test this time though, if only to answer certain recurring questions once and for all. And the category we decided to tackle is the hotly-contested compact crossover segment.
Hyundai have officially launched the fully-redesigned 2013 Santa Fe in the UAE. While elsewhere, there are two variants – a 5-seater “Sport” model and a 7-seater long-wheelbase model — we here in the GCC are uniquely getting the smaller “Sport” variant this year first. Except that it won’t be called “Sport”, and they’ve actually stuffed seven seats into it too.
The long-running Hyundai Santa Fe was overdue for a remake, given how its stablemates have evolved in the last few years. The first of the new Santa Fe variants will be in GCC showrooms by September.
The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe was just revealed at the 2012 New York Auto Show. But the bigger news is that there are two variants of the Santa Fe now, one a “sport” version, and the other, a longer people-carrier version.
Hyundai has revealed the first sketches of the new 2013 Hyundai Santa-Fe crossover, which will debut at the forthcoming New York International Auto Show.
