Hyundai will surprise the Philippine market by releasing a number of the latest models, including those with combustion engines (ICE) and electric vehicles (EVs). One of the newest models to be launched is the latest generation from Santa Fe.

According to a report from Top Gear Philippines, Wednesday, December 13, Hyundai Motor Philippines (HMPH), the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the Philippines, confirmed that this latest SUV will be present in the first quarter of 2024.

Although the company provided a brief preview of Santa Fe, they still kept details of specifications and prices in secret. However, it is reported that several units of this model have arrived in the Philippines.

Launched globally in July last year, the South Korean manufacturer made a thorough update to the Santa Fe body with the theme "natural-meets-city" implemented into Santa Fe's all-new radical design.

Santa Fe terbaru ini menampilkan desain kakil dari versi sebelumnya dengan jarak aksi roda yang panjang, memberikan ira kuat dan tangguh untuk SUV midsize. Bagian depan mengalami update dengan grILL yang lebih kecil dan memanjang, bersatu dengan lampung depan terbaru dengan pola "H" sebagai simbol identitas Hyundai.

The side creates a dashing and elegant impression with a radical form that reminds the Land Rover. With a 21-inch rim featuring the Hyundai logo, the identity of this car is easily recognized.

The back has undergone significant changes with a sturdy design and backlight placed near the bumper, displaying the letter "H" as a marker element.

Santa Fe's cabin room also experienced an update with three rows of seats, providing convenience to carry a lot of stuff. The SUV is equipped with the latest technology, including Panoramic Curved Display and double wireless charging.

The latest Hyundai Santa Fe will come with a hybrid and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) driving option, with the cheapest variant equipped with a 2.5 liter non-turbo 4-cylinder engine.
