The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe receives a significant facelift, introducing modernized styling, two new gasoline powertrains, and a highly anticipated hybrid option. The exterior boasts a bolder design with a distinctive T-shaped LED illumination signature and a wider grille. Inside, the cabin is elevated with a premium floating center console, available Nappa leather, and larger infotainment displays, including an optional 10.3-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The new 2.5-liter turbocharged engine offers a substantial power increase over its predecessor, paired with a responsive 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Santa Fe Hybrid, featuring a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and electric motor, promises impressive efficiency. The luxurious Calligraphy trim, based on the Limited model, adds exclusive features like quilted Nappa leather and a heads-up display, all powered by the 2.5L turbo and AWD. While pricing is unconfirmed, the top-tier Calligraphy is expected to start around $42,000.
