Subsequent-Gen Hyundai Santa Fe Imagined By means of Spied Prototype

Hyundai is at present testing the next-generation Santa Fe on public roads, and it seems approach, approach totally different from the outgoing mannequin based mostly on the prototype caught on video. That prototype was closely hid, although, so extracting detailed parts of its design is difficult.

To assist our creativeness, our pals from Kolesa have put out an unofficial rendering based mostly on the prototype we have seen earlier than. The renderings beneath attempt to depict the entrance and rear ends of the next-generation Santa Fe, and we will not assist however discover the large design change – if this rendering holds true in any respect.

Proper off the bat, the boxy form of the imagined model deviates vastly from the curves of the present mannequin. This was outstanding on the spied prototype, together with the blacked-out parts of the roof. In the meantime, the H-patter headlights aren’t new for Hyundai because the automaker has been putting these particulars on its different vehicles, like those seen on the taillights of the Stargazer – an MPV offered in Indonesia and the Philippines.

The rear finish of Kolesa’s rendering seems to have adopted a design element from the Hyundai Staria. I am speaking in regards to the vertical taillights that span from the roof all the way down to the decrease bumper. 

Though not seen on the renderings, we received a peek into the following Santa Fe’s inside earlier than. It did not reveal a lot, apart from the white leather-based upholstery and seats folded flat on the ground.

Given the heavy concealments on the prototype noticed earlier than, we’re not anticipating the launch of the next-generation Santa Fe to occur anytime quickly. We will deduce, nonetheless, that the fifth-generation mannequin might debut within the second half of subsequent yr for the 2024 mannequin yr based mostly on the historic timeline.
