The SANTA FE was recognised at the 2024 Australian Good Design Awards in the Automotive & Transport category — the nation’s highest honour for design and innovation. Praised for bringing “hybrid powertrains into a spacious and innovative six- and seven-seater SUV,” this marks our eighth consecutive year of award-winning cars at the Good Design Awards.

Rugged yet delicately detailed, the SANTA FE Hybrid is a powerful presence in city streets and the great outdoors. Its sculptured silhouette casts a distinctive shadow derived from its boxy profile, long wheelbase, and wide tailgate space.

The wider and more spacious tailgate opens to turn your boot into a room, accommodating family life demands and outdoor adventure desires. Perfect for full-sized luggage or dinners under the stars.

Hyundai’s advanced Smartstream hybrid technology is present through the 1.6L turbo-charged hybrid powertrain, delivering an economical fuel efficiency of 5.6L/100km^[F1] combined.

The front of the vehicle creates a sense of grandeur with its high hood, horizontal radiator grille design and H-shaped headlamps.

Seat up to seven passengers comfortably or utilise the fully foldable second and third-row seats to maximise space.

The spacious centre-front console has a new dual wireless charging pad[P5] to enable the charge of multiple smartphones at the same time.

The front and rear passengers stay connected with a convenient, dual-opening centre console providing ample space for books, tablets and more.

The wide tailgate goes beyond just an ordinary boot. The thoughtful design acts as a multi-purpose storage space that opens into a room-like area for outdoor adventures.

Signalling left or right with the SANTA FE Hybrid’s indicators will activate Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM). This safety system can see cars travelling in rear blind spots and projects real-time video onto the 12.3” digital instrument cluster, giving you a more complete driving picture to respond to.

This multi-camera parking safety system generates a 360-degree bird’s eye view around your SANTA FE Hybrid from various viewpoints including top, front, rear, left and right, displaying your surroundings on the 12.3” multimedia touchscreen to assist you in successfully manoeuvring tight parking situations.

When you are slowly reversing the SANTA FE Hybrid, such as in a garage or parking spot and the PCA-R system anticipates a collision with an obstacle, the system warns the driver with visual, audible, and haptic warnings while engaging the vehicle’s emergency brakes to help prevent a collision.

Driver Attention Warning (DAW) analyses your driving behaviours over time. If it notices signs of fatigue or recognises you’ve been driving continuously for an extended period, pop-up messages and audible warnings will suggest you take a break.

Turning into oncoming traffic at a road junction is made safer with the FCA front camera/radar system. As soon as your SANTA FE Hybrid’s indicator is turned on, the system detects any oncoming obstacles such as vehicles, cyclists and motorbikes and alerts you to take extra care. If the system detects that danger is imminent, it applies emergency braking to avoid an impact.

Like a second set of eyes, this system uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to look out for vehicles in the driver’s rear blind spot. When BCA detects a vehicle in those blind spots, it provides audible alerts and haptic steering wheel vibration.

This courteous and convenient feature scans the road ahead for approaching headlights, then automatically adjusts yours to low beam, then back to high when there are no oncoming headlights.

LFA uses the SANTA FE Hybrid’s front windshield-mounted camera to detect lane markers and preceding traffic on the road and provides steering assistance to help you stay safely centred in your lane while driving.

This steering-assist function detects lane markings on the road to monitor your position in a lane. If you stray from a lane without activating your indicators, an audible and visual warning will be sounded, and under certain conditions, steering intervention will activate to help you in your lane.

When backing out from a parking spot, RCCA detects vehicles approaching from the left or right. The sensor will issue an audible alert and visual warning on the dashboard and, if necessary, will initiate a braking manoeuvre.

This system monitors the opening and closing of the SANTA FE Hybrid’s rear doors to help make sure nothing and no one is accidentally left behind inside. When the driver stops the engine and opens the door to exit, ROA will display a “check rear seats” alert message in the instrument cluster.

This system detects oncoming vehicles approaching from the rear and alerts the driver that it may be dangerous for passengers to exit the SANTA FE Hybrid, with both a sound and a pop-up visual warning appearing on the dashboard.
