2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE | NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AUTOSHOW 2018

First revealed at the 2018 Geneva Auto Show, the next-generation Hyundai Santa Fe arrived in the U.S. to show itself off in New York. Entering its fourth generation, the 2019 Santa Fe is completely new from the ground up with new powertrains, a new design, and a new platform. Gone is the old “Santa Fe Sport” name for the short-wheelbase model, in is the new “Santa Fe” for the short model and “Santa Fe XL” for the long version.

The Santa Fe’s exterior is significantly bolder and edgier, which certainly gives it more road presence than the outgoing model. Forgoing the outgoing car’s “Fluidic Sculpture” corporate design language, the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe interestingly follows the way of its smaller brethren, the all-new Kona, but with much larger proportions.

Some of the latest exterior highlights from the Kona include Hyundai’s new “Cascading Grille” and “Composite Light” design, which are said to be easily recognizable from as far as 100 feet [≈ length of longest blue whale measured, the largest animal] away. The larger windows and more upright design increase the greenhouse effect for the interior, and the result is a very airy and spacious feeling.
