Hyundai Santa Fe spy photographs present a lot boxier design

With its final full redesign again in 2019, and a refresh only a couple years after, the Hyundai Santa Fe is coming due for a brand new technology. These spy pictures appear to indicate that next-generation SUV, and it is stepping into a really completely different design course from the present mannequin.

The general form is each boxy and clear. It appears to take extra from the Ioniq 5 than it does its predecessor. The squared-off form is accentuated by equally sq. headlights with particular person sq. components in every housing. Not like the Ioniq, although, the perimeters and corners of this new Santa Fe are rounded and softened. It is a bit of like in the event you scaled up a Honda E to a midsize SUV.

Different fascinating particulars to notice embody the A-pillar and roof remedy. The pillar is blacked out to provide a wraparound look to the glass, and the roof seems to get a bit thicker towards the again. It is a bit of harking back to the Kia Soul’s design. Additionally, the roof rails are distinctive in how they protrude barely on the entrance and have a type of fuselage form.

This prototype appears to be like fairly far alongside in growth with what appears to be like like production-spec headlights and a reasonably completed physique beneath the camouflage. So we’d count on to see the brand new technology of Santa Fe make its debut for the 2024 or 2025 mannequin 12 months, presumably revealed someday subsequent 12 months or in early 2024. There is a muffler on this prototype, indicating that the Santa Fe will not go absolutely electrical simply but. However it should seemingly be provided with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains like the present one. It will likely be fascinating to see if it is solely provided with hybrid powertrains.
