Check out Top Gear's review of the new SANTA FE!
Designed to be different.
The SANTA FE stands out with a bold, upright design and a wide, stable stance that feels ready for anything. Striking H-shaped LED headlights and a confident grille give it a distinctive front identity, while sculpted lines, strong wheel arches, and stylish alloys add to its modern appeal. At the rear, matching H-shaped tail lights complete the cohesive, futuristic look.

1.6 Turbo Petrol Hybrid
 Developed to reduce fuel consumption without compromising on being fun to drive, the hybrid powertrain delivers a combined power output of 172 kW with 367 Nm of torque.

AWD HTRAC
