Just like with so many recent Hyundais, the 2024 Santa Fe grabbed the car world's attention with its bold design. The midsize crossover jumped from a handsome-yet-generic shape to a crisply creased box, capitalizing on both the trend toward squared-off and off-road-oriented designs and Hyundai’s recent retro-futuristic motif.
The XRT is only available with the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which is a very welcome improvement over the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder of the previous version. Like other Santa Fes, the engine makes 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque , but the cooling system has been enhanced. It gets a higher-output radiator fan, and there are larger grille openings for additional airflow.
With all that out of the way, let's get into the actual drive. On this trip, we had access to both an XRT and the top-spec Calligraphy for road driving, with an off-road course set up for the version best suited for it. To be clear, that would not be the Calligraphy, as its 21-inch wheels would not have made for a good experience, and probably would've resulted in some damage.
The XRT off-road course was a mix of extremely light gravel and dirt roads, followed by more moderate obstacles with steep hills, ditches, ruts, buried rocks, stumps, roots and a bit of mud. Basically, it involved everything that this class of vehicle would probably be asked of it: driving down light to moderate fire roads and campsite trails. On the gravel and dirt roads, what was pretty impressive was how comfortable and stable the Santa Fe felt.
