The long-awaited moment has arrived. The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe has officially made its mark in Arkansas. Initially hinted at in the summer of 2023, experts in the automotive world speculated an early 2024 debut. Well, the time is finally here, and we can’t wait to tell you more details about the new Santa Fe, which is available now at Crain Hyundai of Bentonville. 

During its initial announcement, details about the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe were kept in secret. A complete reimagination was teased, promising a fresh exterior and interior. Fast forward to August, and the all-new Santa Fe debuted on Hyundai’s YouTube channel, unveiling the distinctive H-shape in its headlights.

Even more information arrived in late fall when Hyundai introduced the “Open for More” concept, aiming to elevate everyday experiences by harmonizing urban and natural landscapes. Staying true to its namesake, Santa Fe, New Mexico, served as the stunning backdrop for the world premiere film.

While details were initially elusive, the revelation came that the 2024 Santa Fe would be available in various trims: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy. A hybrid model is also in the pipeline, set for a later 2024 debut. The redesigned Santa Fe not only boasts a fresh look but also introduces third-row seating.

Early reviews, according to Hyundai’s press release, showered praise on the new model for its swift acceleration, stability at high speeds, European-style ride, comfort, quietness, distinctive design, and a host of features. The consensus suggests that the new Santa Fe not only meets but exceeds expectations.

The press release also emphasized the Santa Fe’s radical transformation for its fifth generation. While the exterior changes are evident, interior enhancements, like an enlarged tailgate opening and expanded interior space, aim to enhance outdoor adventures.

Hyundai’s website showcases more exciting features, including dual wireless device charging and a UV-C sterilization compartment that leverages UV light to eliminate germs. Talk about keeping up with the times! Not one, but two chargers, and you can sanitize your phone all while driving.

In a playful marketing move, Hyundai debuted a commercial featuring a Viking family, connecting the modern appeal of the Santa Fe with off-road adventure capabilities. They show the tagline “Your inner Viking wants to come out and play,” tying back to their message of providing everything you need for an off-road experience, but still with modern amenities.

The website further underscores this message, describing the new Santa Fe with rugged interior trim and accents. Equipped with HTRAC All Wheel Drive, a 4,500-lb towing capacity, 18-inch dark alloy wheels, and all-terrain tires, the Santa Fe is geared up for your next adventure.
