I drive the New Hyundai Santa Fe 2024! , test driving review
I have test-driven the highly anticipated Santa Fe full change for this year. Although the hybrid specification is still pending certification, I first had the chance to experience the 2.5 Turbo version.
The powerful acceleration has already been confirmed, and I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent noise suppression and good sound insulation, thanks in part to the spacious interior and ample cabin space.
As I drove it, I couldn't help but notice the attention to detail in both the exterior and interior design. It's safe to say that it has reached a premium level in this regard.
Considering the short test drive duration, it was challenging to find any downsides. Let's explore them together! The Hyundai's new Santa Fe offers the most abundant interior space and third-row seating in its class. It has the versatility to serve as a family SUV or cover leisure activities, and this full change has made it even more distinct from the Sorento. In particular, when you look at it with the third row in mind, it seems to offer a similar level of comfort as the Palisade.
The 2.5 gasoline engine delivers satisfying performance and efficiency, but one downside is that it experiences increased vibrations after 2,500 rpm. Its responsive ride quality is a strong point, and overall noise insulation is also commendable. The rear design may polarize opinions.
