our friends at Korean Car Blog ran images of the new Santa Fe, showing that Hyundai has stripped away the current design language for a boxy look that resembles a Land Rover Defender.

The sides are vertical, the C-pillar seems to be inspired by Defender’s chunky graphics, and the rear door is almost vertical beneath that hunchback camouflage.

The next Santa Fe is expected to be larger than the current model, a bit tight in the third row. For context, the current Santa Fe is 4785mm long, 145mm longer than the Tucson and 210mm shorter than the Palisade.

On the electric side, Hyundai Group has plans for many large electric SUVs on custom platforms: namely the Hyundai Ioniq 7 (previewed by the 2021 Seven . concept) and KIA EV9. This suggests that the Santa Fe will not arrive as a full EV.
