Subsequent-Gen Hyundai Santa Fe Imagined By Spied Prototype

Hyundai is at the moment testing the next-generation Santa Fe on public roads, and it seems to be means, means totally different from the outgoing mannequin primarily based 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 primarily based on the prototype we have seen earlier than. The renderings under attempt to depict the entrance and rear ends of the next-generation Santa Fe, and we won’t assist however discover the massive design change – if this rendering holds true in any respect.

Proper off the bat, the boxy form of the imagined model deviates tremendously from the curves of the present mannequin. This was distinguished 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 inserting 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 concerning the vertical taillights that span from the roof all the way down to the decrease bumper. 

Though not seen on the renderings, we acquired a peek into the subsequent Santa Fe’s inside earlier than. It did not reveal a lot, aside 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 are able to deduce, nevertheless, that the fifth-generation mannequin may debut within the second half of subsequent 12 months for the 2024 mannequin 12 months primarily based on the historic timeline.
