Korea's automotive titan, Hyundai Motor, is set to debut the fifth-generation Santa Fe. Targeting 28,000 sales by year-end, this state-of-the-art vehicle promises an unparalleled driving experience and caters to the rising demand of outdoor enthusiasts.
Equipped with a choice between a powerful 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine or a dynamic 1.6-turbocharged gasoline hybrid engine, the all-new Santa Fe promises to deliver an exhilarating driving experience. Starting at a competitive price range of 35 million-44 million won, this SUV offers unmatched value for its exceptional performance and innovative features. The hybrid model, available at 40 million-48 million won, provides an eco-friendly option for conscious consumers.
Not only does the new Santa Fe boast a stunning redesign, but it also caters to the evolving needs of today's outdoor enthusiasts. Recognizing the growing popularity of outdoor lifestyles, Hyundai's styling chief, Simon Loasby, shared, "Big data indicated that the outdoor lifestyle was going to become mainstream culture, and during COVID-19 this lifestyle change was even further amplified. And we needed to respond to that change." The company has maximized the rear cargo capacity to accommodate adventure seekers.
Adding to its impressive exterior, the Santa Fe features distinctive H-shaped headlamps and taillights, which elegantly reinterpret Hyundai's iconic "H" emblem. Inside, the interior design showcases a striking play with horizontal and vertical lines, complemented by an H-motif dashboard and air vents that embody a unique sensibility. With fully foldable second-and third-row seats, this SUV offers exceptional versatility and best-in-class interior space.
Hyundai has set ambitious sales targets, aiming to sell 70,000 units of the new Santa Fe in the domestic market next year alone. Moreover, the company has plans to introduce this exceptional model to the United States and Europe in the first quarter of 2024, with sales projections of 16,000 units in Europe and a staggering 135,000 autos in the U.S. in the same year.
It's worth noting that Santa Fes assembled in Korea will be available for both domestic sales and exports, while those destined for the U.S. market will be produced at Hyundai's state-of-the-art Alabama plant. This strategic move underscores Hyundai's commitment to delivering top-quality vehicles to its valued customers across the globe.
