Hyundai’s new flagship SUV is here - the Santa Fe. Continuing a name which has been at the heart of the Hyundai range for decades, the new Santa Fe arrives with a bold new look and some cutting-edge interior technology, as well as the kind of space you’d expect from a large family SUV.
The new Santa Fe has arrived in our dealerships, too, bringing its head-turning style to the UK’s roads for the first time. If you’d like to organise a test drive or a closer look at the new Santa Fe then head to our website or read through this article if you’d like to find out some more key bits of information about this new Hyundai.
If you’re after a striking design then you’ve come to the right place. As with cars like the Ioniq 5 and 6, the Santa Fe debuts a futuristic appearance which will certainly get people talking. It’s a larger car than the one which came before it, but it’s got a blockier, more upright stance too.
Design highlights include the distinctive ‘H’ shaped headlights - mirrored by rear lights of the same design - while all versions feature upmarket 20-inch alloy wheels as well.
The new Santa Fe arrives with the option of either hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains. In the former, you get a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine which is linked to a compact electric battery and motor. The car’s regenerative braking - which reverses the electric motor when you’re slowing down - and some of the engine’s power is used to keep the battery topped up and this helps to run auxiliary functions like the air conditioning for lower emissions and better fuel efficiency overall.
Switch to the plug-in hybrid and you’ll find a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine being used again. However, it is linked to a larger battery and more powerful motor and, reflecting the name, it is best topped up by a plug. When fully charged, you can get up to 36 miles of electric-only power from the Santa Fe plug-in hybrid, too, making it a good option for those who want to reduce their fuel bills.
Hyundai has been building some very innovative cabins within its latest cars and that’s no different with the new Santa Fe. It’s available in both six- and seven-seater configurations, so from the very start you’ve got options in terms of passenger-carrying space. You’ll find plenty of storage dotted throughout the cabin, too, as well as a variety of USB-C charging points for topping up devices.
All cars get wireless smartphone charging pads up front, too, while the front seats are heated as standard to help take the edge off a chilly winter day.
You’ll find plenty of the latest technology inside the Santa Fe. A huge 12.3-inch infotainment display is central to the tech on board the Santa Fe and it includes handy features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, too. Over-the-air updates mean that the system is always kept up to date without needing to visit a service centre.
There are also many safety assistance features to help keep you and your passengers as secure as can be when you’re on the move. Highlights include a sophisticated blind-spot warning system, reverse-park collision avoidance assistance and even remote smart parking, which allows you to reverse or move your Santa Fe remotely - just use the key to slowly move the car into its bay when you’re out of the car.
As a big family car, you expect the Santa Fe to deliver a whole lot of practicality - and it does. In fact, you’ll find all manner of handy storage areas dotted throughout the inside of the Hyundai Santa Fe, with a variety of bottle holders and deep bins providing ample ways to keep things tidy. There are plenty of charging points located inside the car’s cabin, too, so there shouldn’t be too many arguments about who gets to charge up their devices.
Then, things are even more impressive when it comes to boot space. With all seven seats in place you get 628 litres of luggage space - or 621 litres in the plug-in hybrid - rising to 711 and 704 litres respectively when you’ve got the rearmost row folded flat. Then, if you fold all seats in the Santa Fe down, you’ve got an almost van-like area of space to use up, with 1,949 litres available in the standard hybrid and 1,942 in the plug-in version.
Hyundai has always focused on bringing value-for-money and that’s definitely the case with the Santa Fe. All versions get the aforementioned widescreen infotainment setup and driver’s display with 12.3-inch LCD readout that provides clear and accurate information right where you need it.
To keep the interior at a pleasant temperature there is standard-fit dual-zone climate control, while a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel is a comfort-boosting extra. On the outside, you’ve got full LED headlights, too, as well as striking daytime running lights and 20-inch alloy wheels.
