Review and specifications
2024 Hyundai Santa Fe
The midsized Hyundai Santa Fe SUV is redesigned for the 2024 model year, giving it a boxy look and a striking interior. Increased dimensions bring improved interior space for rear passengers, a standard small third-row seat, and a larger rear hatch opening. Two carryover powertrains are offered: a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid with a six-speed automatic. The plug-in hybrid option has been dropped. Front- and all-wheel drive will be available. The dash features a large, curved display screen that integrates the dual 12.3-inch displays for the digital driver's instrument screen and the infotainment system. One nice feature is that the cubby under the armrest is double hinged so it can be opened either from the front or the rear.

Brand context
About Hyundai
From low-cost sedans to three-row EV SUVs, Hyundai has a model for almost every kind of customer. Most new Hyundai vehicles are stylish, functional, and competitively priced, but the brand overall ranks around the middle in Consumer Reports’ Reliability and Owner Satisfaction ratings. Individual models and years vary widely, with some standouts and a few laggards. The core Hyundai lineup includes low-cost subcompacts like the Elantra, and midsized sedans like the Sonata. SUVs include the subcompact Kona and compact Tucson, plus the midsize Santa Fe and larger Palisade, both of which offer three-row seating. Many models are available as hybrids or plug-in hybrids. In our testing, most Hyundai models benefit from a hybrid drivetrain, which adds power and smoothness in addition to improving fuel economy. Hyundai’s EVs are some of the best values among electric cars. The Ioniq models are high-tech, well designed, and can charge quite rapidly at public DC fast charging stations.
