The new generation of Santa Fe has appeared in Korea. |
The new generation Santa Fe has major changes compared to the current generation. The exterior is different from the grille, headlights, air vents, fenders... The dashboard layout of the new generation Santa Fe is similar to the B-size SUV Kona. The infotainment screen stands alone in the middle, below is the flat air-conditioning vent and next are the function adjustment knobs.
The new generation of Santa Fe is also longer and has a larger wheelbase than the current generation - a factor that the Korean car company emphasizes as having the best rear legroom in the segment. Technology is also superior to the current generation.
Sold first in the domestic market, the new generation Santa Fe is expected to arrive in the US this summer. There is currently no information about the time of sale in other markets.
