Hyundai has revealed the first pictures of its fifth-generation Sante Fe seven-seater long-wheel base SUV.

The manufacturer has not revealed any information about powertrains, pricing or specifications, but the new model will make its world premiere in August on Hyundai’s YouTube channel.

SangYup Lee, executive vice-president and head of Hyundai Global Design Centre, said: “The all-new Santa Fe is an SUV that finds a perfect balance between city life and the great outdoors, handling everything from busy family itineraries to car camping adventures.

“With its longer wheelbase, roomy interior and terrace-like tailgate space, the new Santa Fe leans into its SUV strengths to offer more versatility than ever before as well as a premium customer experience.”

The interior features a panoramic curved display and dual wireless charging. The curved display connects the 12.3-inch digital cluster and infotainment system.

The SUV also incorporates a number of sustainable materials. The suede headliner, car mats and second- and third-row seatbacks are made from recycled plastic, while the crash pad and door trim covers are made from eco-friendly leatherette.
