For the 2024 model year, Hyundai’s Santa Fe has been dramatically redesigned with future-forward styling and a longer wheelbase that allows a third row to be added to its cabin. The mid-size crossover vehicle continues to promise loads of creature comforts and great technology. Here’s a quick and handy guide to the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe!

Power and Performance

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe

The Santa Fe’s standard powertrain consists of a 2.5L turbo inline-4 that’s mated to a quick-shifting 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. A healthy output of 277 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft of torque guarantees swift acceleration and the ability to tow up to 4,500 pounds. Despite this impressive performance, the vehicle achieves up to an EPA-rated 29 MPG highway, keeping fuel costs down.

In the corners and over uneven terrain, the Santa Fe is easy to control and maintains a smooth ride thanks to a very modern suspension setup that includes a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. Outdoor enthusiasts will want to opt for the available HTRAC (Hyundai TRACtion) all-wheel drive system. It makes over 100 calculations each second to determine the ideal torque distribution for maximum grip.

Passenger and Cargo Space

Inside the Santa Fe is a sleek and futuristic interior that easily accommodates large families. While previous generations of the SUV have always been spacious, the latest model’s cabin has grown even larger and now offers a seating capacity of up to seven. An available six-seat configuration replaces the second-row bench seat with two power-reclining and tilting captain’s chairs. Generous legroom includes over 42 inches for those in the second row.

As for cargo space, you’ll find 14.6 cubic feet behind the third row, so there’s plenty of room for your things. When you need to transport a large amount of cargo or extra-large items, both back rows can be folded down to provide a substantial 79.6 cubic feet of space.

Amenities

In its most basic form, the Santa Fe comes standard with a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar support, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and LED interior lighting. Standard solar control glass helps to limit heat build-up inside the cabin during sunny days. Many trims offer genuinely luxurious features like leatherette or leather upholstery, warm ambient lighting, and heated seats.

A 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen is housed within the same panel as the digital instrument display and features standard support for wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and SiriusXM radio. If you have any rear passengers trying to get some sleep during a long road trip, the rear speakers can be muted for a more peaceful experience. The top-spec Limited trim boasts a powerful 12-speaker Bose premium audio system.
