The bold, boxy design of the fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe left a lasting impression on consumers. While it sparked debate, Hyundai’s commitment to innovation is evident in the leaked images of the 2027 Santa Fe, which showcases a radically different aesthetic. These glimpses suggest Hyundai is poised for a transformative leap, far beyond a typical upgrade.
If the current Santa Fe exudes boldness, the new model embodies sleekness and modernity. Every element, from the body lines to the lighting and roof, has been reimagined for a harmonious and refined appearance.

The front and rear fascias highlight the most dramatic changes. The previous H-shaped taillights have been replaced by vertical LED strips, hinting at a smaller rear hatch. Upfront, the grille and lighting system are entirely redesigned. Slim daytime running lights replace the old H-pattern, while the headlights are integrated into the lower bumper for a cleaner, more modern look.

Inside, Hyundai introduces further innovations. The steering wheel adopts a squarer shape, while the center screen is more compact, replacing the previous full-width display. Some details remain under wraps, but a secondary screen behind a cover is likely.

One notable detail is the dual fuel fillers on either side, suggesting electrification. While Hyundai hasn’t produced a long-range EV, discontinuing the Santa Fe PHEV in 2023 may signal this shift. The repositioned exhaust indicates structural changes to accommodate a battery pack. Testers report near-silent operation, reinforcing expectations of a fully electric model.
The 2024 Santa Fe’s launch was hailed as a bold statement reflecting suburban lifestyle trends. With the 2027 model, Hyundai refines this philosophy, embracing minimalism and sophistication while ushering in a new electric era.
