Pakistani automotive market has taken a leap by launching the Hyundai Santa Fe 2024. It’s a hybrid SUV with a 7-seater capacity and other striking features. Let’s scroll down and find out the pricing factor, specification, and fuel economy of this new entrant.
Purchase Decision
Amir, the owner of Hyundai Santa Fe is experienced in driving different top-line vehicles including Hyundai Sonata, Fortuner, and others. In making the buying decision, he tested the KIA Sorento 3.5L at first but stuck to his former choice of Santa Fe Signature model which he bought against a price tag of 14,780,000.
Exterior
Santa Fe is quite impactful on the outside with a fashionable front grille, auto boot, headlights, and rims. Unfortunately, the conventional rear design fails to impress our modern drivers.
Interior
It includes ventilated seats, heated steering, a 360-degree camera, blind spot monitoring, parking sensors, and a reverse camera that is always ready to assist.
What Amir finds the best feature of the Hyundai Santa Fe is the biggest panoramic roof and the Harman Kardon stereo system that overall makes this model worthy against its competitors. Besides, an illuminated screen display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay adds an edge to the infotainment.
Engine and Performance
It has the best pick due to its hybrid technology and provides a fuel economy of 14.2 km/L on highways. While the performance further improves in city drive, giving a whopping 16 Km/L.
Still, if you compare its overall performance with the Toyota Fortuner, then the latter one wins an award for better road handling.
Missing Feature:
Unfortunately, Santa Fe misses the features of Lane Assist, Emergency Braking, and ADAS.
So, this was the first look review of the brand-new company-insured Hyundai Santa Fe. Hopefully, we will come with an expert update of the same model in the coming months.

Being a hybrid vehicle, fuel consumption is not much impressive as one perceives. It’s costly too vis H6 EV and other. Ride is close to Sorento in terms of comfort etc. My Sorento gave me 6.7 L / 100 KM on MW , then why to go for this one Santa Fe ? Me happy with Sorento anyways, though I kept 2 Fortuners earlier to it .
