2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE FULL CHANGE LIST AND PRICING | IMPRESSIVE STANDARD FEATURES!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe undergoes a significant transformation, arriving with a completely new design and an impressive array of standard features across all trims. The base SE model now includes advanced safety systems, proximity entry, a power liftgate, and a larger 12.3-inch infotainment screen, making it a compelling value proposition. A major powertrain upgrade sees the 2.5L turbo engine become standard, replacing the previous naturally aspirated option, offering a substantial boost in performance, especially for lower trims. The Hybrid variant now offers front-wheel drive in addition to AWD, enhancing its appeal. While pricing has increased by approximately $4,000-$5,500 depending on the trim, the reviewer argues this is justified by the increased size, capability, and standard equipment. The new design, while polarizing for some, offers increased practicality with a wider tailgate opening. Higher trims like the Limited and Calligraphy introduce premium features such as fingerprint recognition, advanced driver assists, and luxurious second-row captain's chairs, though these come at a near-$50,000 price point.
