- Seven-seat SUV gains additional comfort and safety features for 2022
- Centre airbag and multi-collision braking system added across the range
- Price rises between $850 and $1700
Pricing and specification details for the updated 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe have been announced.
The family SUV will arrive in local showrooms this month, priced from $45,550 before on-road costs.
Hyundai has added a number of comfort and safety features to the Santa Fe for model-year 2022, including a centre airbag and multi-collision braking system – both of which are standard across the range.
If driver input is undetected, the latter system will apply the brakes after the airbags deploy to avoid a secondary collision.
Price rises between $850 and $1700 will accompany the update.
Third-row USB ports – previously available on the flagship Highlander – are now standard across each variant.
Active grades also gain a unique exterior design for 2022, with a chrome grille, skid plate, door garnish, bumper moulding and door handles.
The second-from-top Elite picks up some equipment previously exclusive to the Highlander, such as the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, heated front seats and LED tail-lights.
A hybrid powertrain will join the Santa Fe range in the coming months.
