Hyundai Santa Fe Launch Details!
Hyundai has revealed new details of its plan to launch 26 new products in India by 2030, at an Investors Day presentation. During the presentation, Hyundai announced that it will bring in a new SUV with a “muscular” design, which will get “off-road capabilities.” So, which SUV could it be? Well, our sources have suggested that Hyundai may bring back the Santa Fe. The new Santa Fe, as described by Hyundai, has a muscular design and stance, and is capable of going off-road. India previously had the Santa Fe, which was discontinued in 2017.

However, the current generation of the Santa Fe is much more feature-loaded, practical and luxurious. Hyundai does not have a proper ladder-on-frame SUV in its lineup. However, the AWD version of the Santa Fe is capable of going off-road. As Hyundai has hinted at its launch, we can expect Hyundai to bring back the Santa Fe to take on the Fortuner. But what does the Santa Fe have to offer? Let’s take a look!
More About The Hyundai Santa Fe!
In terms of design, the boxy design, along with unique design elements, will make the SUV stand out. The exterior of the SUV may deceive you into assuming that it is a luxury SUV. However, it is not as expensive as it appears. On the inside, the Santa Fe has a premium cabin wrapped in Nappa leather and high-quality materials. In terms of features, the Santa Fe gets a dual 12.3-inch screen setup, a Bose premium sound setup, powered and ventilated first and second row seats, and the list goes on. Hyundai offers 3 powertrain options with the Santa Fe: a 2.5-litre NA petrol engine (191bhp & 246Nm), a 2.5-litre turbo petrol engine (277bhp & 422Nm) and a 1.6-litre turbo petrol strong hybrid petrol engine (178bhp & 265Nm).
That said, even though the launch details are still under wraps, we can expect the Santa Fe to make a comeback in its new avatar in 2028. Talking about the price, we expect it to cost somewhere around Rs 45 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
