New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Images, Configurations, Interior
New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Images, Configurations, Interior – Hyundai has never shied away from radical redesigns, with practically every model appearing vastly different from those that came before it – not to mention almost everything else in the lineup. That’s why the New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe bears little similarity to the short-lived fourth-generation model, let alone any of its current siblings. This time, it’s all about accentuating size, with real and perceived dimensions stretched wider than ever. New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Images
New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior and Interior
The Santa Fe operates similarly to the Ioniq 5, with the same column-mounted gear selector that requires some practice (twist to move, push to park), but frees up room on the center console. Not only does it appear less crowded, but the front half of the cabin feels more useful than the great majority of competitors in the industry and beyond.
Where things go wrong is with the touch panel that regulates the temperature control system. While the symbols are easy to understand, and there are temperature adjustment knobs, the display itself is prone to being wiped out in intense sunlight. (These systems are undoubtedly less intuitive than physical switches, which may become second nature via muscle memory.) More generally, it’s not only the tailgate opening that’s large; the front and rear doors are equally impressive, and the windows provide clear views of what’s going on outside the car.

New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Specs
Dual-zone automatic temperature control, satellite radio with a subscription, heated front seats, and a steering wheel are standard equipment on all Santa Fe models. However, only the most costly variants include heated and ventilated front seats, an improved 12-speaker audio system, and second-row captain’s chairs.
Engine and Performance
The Tucson’s hybrid engine, as well as its corporate cousin, the Kia Sportage, are carried over here, however they are not available on the Santa Fe XRT. Instead, it has a powerful 2.5L four-cylinder engine that turbocharges to 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. This indicates the rear wheels are only driven while advancing from a stop or when slippage is detected, whereas terrain modes for distinct low-traction circumstances do the same.

New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Fuel Economy
Despite the detaching drive system, the Santa Fe isn’t very efficient. It is rated to consume 10.6 L/100 km with the 2.5L engine under the hood, but the XRT variant gets 10.8 owing to its all-terrain tires. The possible hybrid arrangement reduces that amount to just 6.9.
That’s not much worse than the majority of its competitors, including the slightly bigger Toyota Highlander, which scores 10.3 (the hybrid gets 6.7). During this test, the Santa Fe XRT averaged 10.5 L/100 km over a distance of little more than 500 kilometers. It operates on ordinary gasoline. New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Images
New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Safety Features
Similar to the majority of contemporary automobiles, the Santa Fe boasts a comprehensive safety suite that comes equipped with several features as standard equipment on all four trim levels. Every version comes with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, junction turn assist that can warn of oncoming traffic.

More specifically, the Santa Fe’s tail and signal lights are situated extremely low on the back of the car, making them difficult to see – especially for drivers of large vehicles. It’s an intrinsic problem shared by others, like the smaller Hyundai Tucson, where function takes precedence over form at the expense of crucial safety.
New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Price and Release Date
The New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe begins at $42,999 before tax (including a $2,000 non-negotiable freight fee), reflecting its status as one of the few SUVs of its size with third-row seating. The XRT trim reviewed here costs $48,999, while the Luxury and Ultimate Calligraphy trims cost more over $50,000 ($51,999 and $55,499). The latter is also available with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engine, which raises the price but allows it to go 61 kilometers without using any gasoline. New 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Images
