Hyundai has once again redefined the SUV scene with the launch of the all-new 2024 Santa Fe, blending sleek, boxy aesthetics with powerful performance. This bold design is sure to turn heads, attracting both car enthusiasts and everyday drivers.
By combining striking looks with cutting-edge technology, the Santa Fe strikes the perfect balance between practicality and luxury.
Available in three trims – Exclusive, Prestige, and Calligraphy – it caters to a variety of preferences. With a 2.5-litre engine delivering 277 horsepower, the Santa Fe promises smooth, capable driving for both city commutes and weekend getaways.
EXCLUSIVE TRIM
The Exclusive trim may be the entry-level option, but it’s far from basic, offering an impressive blend of features designed for those who seek reliability and affordability without compromise.
This seven-seater model is an ideal choice for drivers who want the essentials wrapped in style and convenience, making it perfect for families or those who value practicality.
With striking 20-inch alloy wheels, six airbags, and a suite of advanced safety technologies – including ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), ESC (Electronic Stability Control), and TSA (Trailer Stability Assist) – the Exclusive model doesn’t just prioritise safety, it excels at it.
Step inside, and you’ll find a thoughtfully designed cabin featuring a 12.3-inch integrated display that makes navigating controls and routes effortless.
Modern touches like cruise control, a wireless charging dock, and a smart key with push-start button elevate the driving experience to a new level of convenience. The cloth interior may seem understated, but it’s durable and comfortable, ready to take on both quick trips and extended journeys with ease.
The exterior doesn’t disappoint either. LED daytime running lights and a dynamic welcome light feature add a refined and sophisticated touch, ensuring the Exclusive model stands out wherever it goes.

The surround-view monitor and blind-spot view monitor not only enhance safety but also offer peace of mind, allowing drivers to navigate with confidence. The exterior is equally captivating, with bold touches like dynamic welcome lights, a chrome-coated radiator grille, and sleek horizontal LED lamps, which exude sophistication and style.
