The company has unveiled the Hyundai Santa Fe and the SUV has now integrated angular design instead of the old round edges and thus has an erect stance. The headlamp unit and a few other places down the “H” shaped pattern, like the DRLs, air dam, and grille. Going with the angular theme, the A-pillar has a steep angle and similarly, the nose of the SUV is also upright, which gives a boxy appearance. The tail lamp unit at the rear has a light bar that runs along the car's width and the roofline slopes down at the rear section.
The profile gets thick body cladding, and flared wheel arches and the SUV comes shod with multi-spoke alloy wheels. It also comes with roof rails on top. We can expect the Santa Fe to be around five metres in length which translates to a roomy cabin inside. The interiors host premium upholstery and features, the dashboard houses a twin-screen setup that includes the instrumentation and infotainment unit. The angular theme has made its way into the cabin as well, the dashboard, air-con vent, and even the center console, all have an angular finish which also gives a premium look to the cabin. The cabin gets bright-coloured Nappa leather seats. The company also revealed features like a panoramic sunroof and dual wireless charging pads.
The Santa Fe is likely to get a two- and three-row seating layout and the company has not announced any plans regarding the SUV making it back to the Indian roads. It was discontinued back in 2017.
