(The stretched third-generation “Santa Fe XL” briefly continued on the market in 20). On the current circa-2018 design, a third row is available in overseas markets but was deemed too small for Americans and redundant after the Palisade’s arrival in 2020. Importantly this new Santa Fe will offer that third row in the U.S. To that end, the new Santa Fe’s tailgate extends all the way out to the SUV’s edges for a more useful and open space while the second and third-row seats fold flat, providing an indoor camping area. Hyundai hasn’t forgotten its core audience though, and it says the self-consciously boxy look is meant to maximize interior space. Details on exactly what mechanical changes lie beneath the Santa Fe’s butch new sheetmetal, and how much longer that wheelbase really is, won’t be forthcoming until later this year. That makes it look longer, lower and wider without the vehicle growing too much larger, and these changes may hint at actual off-road optimizations to come. The wheelbase is longer and the front overhang shorter.

In addition to the square-rigged details, Hyundai has also altered the Santa Fe’s proportions.

A curved display featuring a pair of 12.3-inch screens (a driver’s display and an infotainment unit) dominates the 2024 Santa Fe’s dashboard, but the soft-touch materials and fine detail work are equally impressive.

The geometric, retro-futuristic shapes echo many of the company’s recent designs, including the popular Ioniq 5, but refine them into a machine that at least gives the impression of off-road brawn and an upscale cabin. The 2024 Santa Fe’s visuals are built (presumably with help from a T-square) around an H-shaped theme seen in many different areas on the SUV, but most notably the headlight and taillight signatures.
