Introducing the New Hyundai Santa Fe: A Spacious and Practical SUV

The new Hyundai Santa Fe has finally arrived, and it is set to impress with its exceptional interior space and practicality. Chief designer SangYup Lee described the model as a “big change” compared to its predecessor, emphasizing the growing popularity of an “outdoors culture” that he aimed to capture in the Santa Fe’s design.

Interestingly, there is a rising trend in Korea where campers prefer sleeping in their cars rather than setting up tents. Hyundai recognized this shift and incorporated it into the design of the new Santa Fe. This SUV follows the footsteps of other rugged and square-edged vehicles like the new Defender and Ford Bronco, which have also embraced practicality and toughness.

While the new Hyundai Santa Fe is already available for purchase in South Korea, it is expected to hit the UK market in the first quarter of next year. The UK release will feature two petrol hybrid variants, including one plug-in option. Although pricing details for the new model have not been disclosed, it is anticipated that there will be a modest increase compared to the current starting price of £43,000.

With its spacious interior, practical features, and trendy design, the new Hyundai Santa Fe is poised to make a significant impact in the SUV market. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting release.
