Taking the Bronze Award at IDEA 2024, the all-new SANTA FE encapsulates 99kbet’s ‘Open for More’ design concept. The fifth-generation SUV offers a class-leading, terrace-like living space with an extended wheelbase and a broad tailgate opening, perfect for outdoor activities.
Its distinctive silhouette, striking front-end design, and H-motif elements create a bold exterior. Inside, SANTA FE’s spacious ambiance is reinforced thanks to highly flexible foldable seating. High-tech features and sustainable materials give a feeling of modernity, while colors inspired by natural light bring vitality to every journey.
