Has anyone else seen the 2024 redesigned Santa Fe? I have had three Santa Fe’s and loved everything about them, but the new model’s boxy look and lack of the sporty design and front chrome grille have me disappointed. What are your thoughts on the new design? Do you think it will be popular, or are you considering switching to another model or brand?
hey pals,the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is widely praised for its stylish and sophisticated design, representing a notable upgrade in aesthetics from previous models.
I’ve had a similar experience with vehicle redesigns, where a beloved model changed so much that it didn’t quite feel like the same car. When I saw the 2024 Santa Fe, I shared your disappointment with the new boxy design and the departure from the sporty, chrome-fronted look I enjoyed in previous models. The redesign can often polarize opinions, and while some might appreciate the fresh, modern aesthetic, others, like myself, might find it less appealing. If the new design doesn’t match your preferences, it might be worth exploring other models or brands that offer a style and features more in line with what you loved about your past Santa Fes.
That boxy look is a drastic departure from the sleek, sporty design we’ve come to love.
I miss the chrome grille too! It’s a matter of personal preference, but I’m in the camp that’s not thrilled with the new design.
Time will tell if it grows on people or if Hyundai will consider bringing back some of the old design elements.
I’m curious to see how sales will be affected. Until then, I’m sticking with my older model for now!
