Hyundai showed off the exterior design of the 2024 Santa Fe last month, but now we have more details and specs to work with for the radically transformed SUV.

At launch, the Santa Fe will be available with two powertrains. A 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque will be the sole gas-only option and serve as the “base” motor. Hyundai pairs this with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and either front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. Meanwhile, a hybrid will also be available. This more efficient option consists of a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and an electric motor for a combined output of 226 horsepower. This comes with a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. As you’d expect, the hybrid is the slower option with a 0-62 mph estimate of 9.5 seconds versus the gas-only Santa Fe that does the same sprint in 8.0 seconds.

In the realm of what we don’t get, Hyundai plans to offer a PHEV setup in Europe, but doesn’t have plans to offer that powertrain here for now. The base naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder isn’t on the list of available powertrains either, but that’s just fine with us.

As for that striking design inside and out, your eyes aren’t tricking you — it’s considerably bigger than the outgoing Santa Fe. Hyundai made this new model 1.8 inches longer with a 1.9-inch longer wheelbase; it gets just over an inch taller, and 21-inch wheels are now available as the largest option replacing the previously-available 20s.

The interior enjoys this extra space, because Hyundai has added the third row back in after not offering it for a number of years. You can spec second-row captain’s chairs (or stick with the bench) that are powered with a cushion angle adjustment. Additionally, Hyundai is offering its Relaxation Seat (like it has in the Ioniq 5) for the Santa Fe to allow full recline and rest. However, the U.S. market won’t get the massage function available in other markets.

No matter, there’s tech aplenty onboard the new Santa Fe. The wall of screens (a pair of 12.3-inch screens) in the “Panoramic Curved Display” in front of you keep the Santa Fe looking modern. There are two wireless phone chargers available, a UV-C Sterilization Tray that sterilizes anything you drop into it, a 6.6-inch climate panel touch display, digital rearview mirror, Hyundai’s Digital Key 2 tech and a bevy of the company’s latest driver assistance systems.

In addition to the standard car, Hyundai revealed the XRT Concept that it says “is designed to handle challenging terrains with confidence and ease, offering versatile utility for outdoor lifestyles.” Beyond that, details are thin.

Hyundai says the 2024 Santa Fe will go on sale here in the first half of next year, but pricing for the new model is not yet available. Your first chance to see it in person on North American shores will be at the Los Angeles Auto Show this fall.

Hyundai revealed a new XRT trim and showed off photos of the North American-spec SUV in Calligraphy trim.

What’s really new is the XRT, which gets its inspiration from the XRT Concept and follows along a similar path as other Hyundai XRT models. The key equipment items here are some new 30-inch Continental all-terrain tires wrapping trim-specific dark-painted 18-inch wheels, upping ground clearance by a notable 1.5 inches. The Santa Fe XRT’s exterior adds dark chrome and black trim elements throughout to give it a more rugged look, Hyundai says. A trim-specific grille is used up front, and “XRT” is discretely displayed on the rear. It’s also rocking roof rails with cross bars and some unique interior callouts like the “XRT” logo embossed on the headrests.

The XRT comes with Hyundai’s 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. When equipped with the towing package, the XRT maxes out at 4,500 pounds of towing capacity.

Outside of XRT details, Hyundai revised or detailed a few small items for the official North American debut of the Santa Fe. For one, the hybrid powertrain produces more power than previously stated. Combined output for the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and electric motor stands at 232 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 6 ponies versus the previous figure. The second detail concerns the infotainment system, as Hyundai says the Santa Fe will have wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto standard, a feature that many Hyundai and Kia products have lacked across their trim lineups.

And lastly, Hyundai revealed the color palettes both inside and out. Exterior paint options in the U.S. will include Phantom Black, Serenity White Pearl, Shimmering Silver Metallic, Ecotronic Gray Pearl, Ecotronic Gray Matte, Ultimate Red Metallic, Earthy Brass Matte, Hampton Gray, Terracotta Orange and Rockwood Green Pearl. Interior choices will be Obsidian Black, Supersonic Gray, Pecan Brown, and Forest Green. You’ll find us rolling around in a green-on-green example.

The 2.5-liter turbo version will hit dealers in March 2024, and you should expect to see the Hybrid land after that in the spring.
