If you take a classic two-box SUV design and style it in a modern way for mass appeal, you get the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. This new compact three-row SUV stands out from the sea of SUVs on the road today with its styling, but its value is why it will likely sell quite well.
I got behind the wheel of a few versions of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe in the rolling hills around Franklin, Tenn., but the XRT is the one I’m going to specifically review for you here, as it’s the most rugged and adventure-ready.
In short: If you’re looking for a vehicle that can haul your outdoor gear, family, and friends safely, comfortably, and for a price below the average new vehicle today, then the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT is a great option. You will have to sacrifice some performance and efficiency to get that impressive combination of positive attributes, however.
