Hyundai Santa Fe Update Quietly Revealed
Hyundai Santa Fe Update Quietly Revealed-December 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:48

Hyundai’s Santa Fe has probably not taken off as well locally as the brand would have liked. Whilst we can’t garner exact sales figures from Hyundai we can’t say we’ve seen too many rolling around the streets. Hyundai though has not changed the formula too much with the facelift as it’s merely modified the suspension and steering settings.

Hyundai Santa Fe Updates

The new steering system features an updated processor for the electric steering system that is said to offer more feel. The Sport setting on the steering is also said to have better weight to it.

The suspension has been firmed up to provide a better ride and a less body-roll in the bends.

On the equipment side, daytime running lights have been added as well as blind spot detection on the wing mirrors. The boot now has a hands-free opening system and auto-open functionality.

Sparkling Silver and Platinum Graphite have been added to the colour options on the Santa Fe. The facelifted Hyundai Santa Fe has only been revealed for the American market so far, but we expect the changes to filter down to our local market soon.
