NEW 2021 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe receives a significant facelift, introducing modernized styling, two new powertrains, and a luxurious Calligraphy trim. The reviewer highlights the updated exterior design with its distinctive T-shaped LED lighting and sharper taillights. Inside, improvements include larger infotainment screens (8-inch standard, 10.3-inch optional), a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a push-button gear selector for a cleaner console. The Calligraphy trim is particularly praised for its upscale features like Nappa quilted leather, a head-up display, and exclusive 20-inch wheels. While the reviewer hasn't driven the exact facelifted model, they note the new 2.5-liter engines (191 hp naturally aspirated, 277 hp turbocharged) and the upcoming hybrid and plug-in hybrid options aim to address previous performance concerns. The vehicle's practicality, spacious cabin, and ample cargo space are also emphasized, making it a compelling family SUV option.
