2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Debuts With Two Powertrains For US, Up To 277 HP

Hyundai revealed the new, fifth-generation Santa Fe last month but didn’t release any specs. Those details are available today with the model’s full reveal in Korea. The 2024 Santa Fe will go on sale in the US in the first half of next year and will make its official North American debut at this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show.

Hyundai will offer the Santa Fe with two powertrain options in the US. The turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder will make 277 horsepower (281 metric horsepower) and 311 pound-feet (43.0 kilogram-force meter) of torque. It pairs with the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. The new crossover will also have a turbocharged 1.6-liter hybrid setup available that delivers 177 hp (180 PS) and 195 lb-ft (27.0 kgf*m) torque from the engine, sending power through the six-speed automatic transmission.

The automaker has already revealed the all-new styling. The automaker adopted an unusual design strategy with the model, starting with the enlarged tailgate area before designing the exterior. The new, fifth-generation Santa Fe is larger than the model it replaces, growing in every direction, which is a bonus to passengers.

Legroom grows in the second row by 1.4 inches (35 millimeters) to 42.3 inches (1,075 mm) in the gas model. The hybrid’s second-row legroom increases by 0.79 in (20 mm) to 41.5 in (1,055 mm). The third row also grows with the model’s increased size, with 0.59 in (15 mm) more legroom and 2.7 in (69 mm) of additional headroom.

The new Santa Fe will be available in North America with 11 exterior colors to cover its boxy body. They are Phantom Black, Serenity White Pearl, Curated Silver Metallic, Ecotronic Gray Pearl, Ecotronic Gray Matte, Ultimate Red Metallic, Earthy Brass Metallic Matte, Atlantis Blue Pearl, Hampton Gray, Terracotta Orange, and Rockwood Green Pearl. Hyundai has five interior colors: Obsidian Black, Supersonic Gray, Pecan Brown, Forest Green, and Black Ink.
