NEW 2021 HYUNDAI SANTA FE – PERFECT NEW LOOK?

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe receives a significant mid-cycle refresh, focusing on a bold new exterior design and an updated interior with enhanced technology. The reviewer highlights the striking T-shaped LED daytime running lights and the redesigned grille as key visual differentiators. Inside, the new 10.25-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, along with a redesigned center console featuring shift-by-wire buttons, modernize the cabin. The vehicle's new third-generation platform promises improvements in performance, handling, fuel efficiency, and safety, with specific mention of more agile steering and better NVH performance. For European markets, the Santa Fe will offer hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains for the first time, alongside a terrain mode selector for the AWD system. While specific engine details for all markets remain undisclosed, the overall impression is of a more premium, family-focused SUV.
