The 5th generation of Hyundai Santa Fe is getting closer to the final moments of the development phase and according to the Korean press, the car will be launched earlier than expected to firmly establish the position of the best-selling SUV of Koreans. China ahead of new competitors with more trendy and technology-rich designs.
Sales of Hyundai Santa Fe have gone down a lot in the past time when it lost to both the Hyundai Palisade or when compared to the new Kia Sorento, so it makes sense for the company to upgrade the car as soon as possible.
According to The Korean Car Blog, the size of the new Hyundai Santa Fe will be increased to a complete 3-row 7-seater SUV. This change is made because the new Tucson now has an extended version (sold in Korea/USA) with a negligible size difference compared to Santa Fe.
In addition, the vehicle powertrain used will eventually have plug-in/hybrid hybrid options after having been behind the juniors for so long in this area.

Next, the design of the new Hyundai Santa Fe will be completely transformed with many sources claiming that Hyundai will be extremely aggressive after realizing that the current design is increasingly losing points and outdated in the eyes of consumers. The best-selling SUV is expected to use the Korean brand’s new glowing logo in some markets.
The new Hyundai Santa Fe is expected to launch 8 to 10 months earlier than the usual cycle and considering the car is launched in 2018, we can expect the next generation to be available in 2024.
