What’s New?

Exterior Design

In terms of appearance, the front of the new Santa Fe looks more stylish with a smarter looking grille, triangle-ish fog lamps and headlamps. The headlamps wrap-around to the sides like most of the fluidic design cars by Hyundai, the front bumper is body colored with black cladding and silver skid-pad added for additional visual appeal.

When looked from the side, you can see slanting horizontal lines which start from the top of front wheel arch and goes all the way till the tail lamps. The Santa Fe looks very dynamic even when standing still when looked at from the side. The A, B and C Pillars are blackened out for a spotty appeal, the roof is almost parallel to ground with a slight slope towards the rear. The cab-forward design with a highly raked front windshield and the side-glass house which swerves up sharply just before the B-pillar gives the SUV a very dynamic look.

The black body cladding extends all around the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe, including the bottom edge of the car’s body running along the wheel arches, below the side and rear door and under the rear bumper as well. There are integrated rear fog lamps / reflectors on the rear bumper. Talking more of the rear, the rear windshield is also quite raked and rounded for an aerodynamic fluidic design, the spoiler is quite pronounced from the side profile and the tail lamps wrap around the sides in a very visible manner. The door handles are also quite attractively designed. The alloy wheels are 5-spoke petal like design which adds to the sportiness of the car. Overall it’s a tall stance with elegant looks and aggressive form factor.

Interior Design

Compared to the older SUV, the interiors of the new Santa Fe is leagues ahead, both in terms design and in terms of quality of materials too. The steering wheel is still a four-spoke unit but the design has been changed radically, you get a almost V-shaped design with neatly placed controls. The three-pod instrument cluster in the old SUV has given way to a two-pod one with a multi-information display screen in between them. The centre console features two screens, one for the multi-media system and the other for the climate control system. Both the screens are surrounded by easy to read buttons and dials.

The centre-console is very edgy and reflects Hyundai’s new design philosophy for their SUVs. The wood trim, new colour this time around, is used sparsely as compared to the older model, which we think is a good thing. The door pads with the silver inserts and soft-plastics feel nice and passengers can use the armrests on them very easily. The door-frame mounted A/C vents are a nice touch and functional too.

Hyundai has revealed official renderings of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2013 new model called the “Storm Edge” which is based on the Hyundai Fluidic Sculpture design language. The new Santa Fe Storm Edge gets the signature hexagonal grille, wide bumpers and a fluidic and aerodynamic style with strong presence with a right balance between elegance and aggression. The official Debut of the third Generation Santa Fe Storm Edge is likely to take place in April 2012 at New York, USA where it will be launched. The new Santa Fe may also be re-branded to the Hyundai ix45 crossover which will be more of a branding decision we will come to know near the official launch.

As per a recent report by the Korean Car Blog here, the 2013 Santa Fe Fluidic will features improved performance with a 2.2 Litre diesel engine which features more power and more torque. At present, Santa Fe is powered by a 2.2 Litre Diesel engine only, but it produces under 200 BHP of power and 420 Nm of torque, however, the improved engine on the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Fluidic will be a 2.2 Litre Diesel engine only but will features about 222 BHP of power which is about 10% more and about 500 Nm of torque which is about 20% more than the existing engine.
