A Sneak Peek Into the Future: Hyundai’s New Models for 2024

As the dust settles on 2023, anticipation is building among motorists for what’s to come in 2024. Hyundai promises several exciting new vehicles and technologies for the next model year that’ll highlight the brand’s ongoing commitment to innovation and redefining the driving experience. At Hiley Hyundai of Fort Worth here in Texas, we want to provide you with a taste of all the thrilling developments to come from Hyundai in 2024.

2024 Hyundai Elantra Lineup

Redesigned Flagship Models

Hyundai will release its second-generation KONA and fifth-generation SANTA FE in 2024. Its dedication to enhancing the driving experience shines through in the release of both vehicles, which elevates the legacy of these two well-known flagship models. Hyundai will also make cosmetic changes to the 2024 Hyundai ELANTRA and 2024 Hyundai SONATA to help these sedans look sportier and more contemporary.

2024 Hyundai KONA

The latest Hyundai KONA is more aerodynamic and more spacious than the first generation. It’s available with electric and internal combustion powertrains as well as a sporty N Line version. This high-tech vehicle receives Hyundai’s latest infotainment system, dual 12.3-inch panoramic screens, Digital Key 2 Touch, and over-the-air software updates so you’ll always have the latest technology on board.

Hyundai’s SmartSense advanced driver-assistance system is more comprehensive in its standard version than most in this class, and you can beef it up with optional features such as remote smart-parking assist and forward collision-avoidance assist. We should see the 2024 Hyundai KONA Electric in dealerships this winter.

2024 Hyundai SANTA FE

The new Hyundai SANTA FE aims to be “open for more” with features that help you have more fun and connect with the world around you. Hyundai increased the size of the wheelbase to accommodate a standard third row of seating comfortably. The liftgate opening is also nearly 6 inches wider, creating a terrace-like space with the seating rows folded down for outdoor activities such as car camping. A new XRT model makes its global debut in 2024 with off-roading features that include all-terrain tires and roof rails.

2024 Hyundai ELANTRA and 2024 Hyundai SONATA

Hyundai builds on the legacy of these beloved sedans, giving them modern makeovers without changing the features families love. Both vehicles look sportier in 2024 thanks to the revised front ends. Hyundai reduced the size of the ELANTRA’s grill and thinned out its headlights to give it a more aggressive appearance. It also lowered the SONATA’s hood and widened its grille so it extends almost the full length of the front. The SONATA also gets an interior glow-up with a pair of the large 12.3-inch screens previously reserved for the Limited trim as well as a new gear-shifter location.

Introduction of New Electric Vehicles (EVs)

In line with Hyundai’s ongoing commitment to creating sustainable transport solutions, it’ll introduce a brand-new 2024 Hyundai KONA Electric. Hyundai took the revolutionary step of developing this second-generation KONA with an electrified powertrain first, ensuring this sustainable system is no afterthought. It’s larger than its predecessor, allowing space for a more comfortable cabin and larger battery. The standard 48.6 kWh battery has an estimated range of 200 miles, but upgrade to the 64.8 kWh option and you can travel around 260 miles.

Hyundai claims it takes just 43 minutes to charge the new KONA Electric’s battery pack from 10% to 80% with a 400V DC charger. It’s also an ultramodern-looking vehicle, with cutting-edge features to match. Its vehicle-to-load capability lets you use your vehicle’s front charging port to power up other electrical items, including camping equipment and e-bikes. With i-Pedal driving mode, you can speed up, slow down, and stop using just the accelerator pedal. The Smart Regenerative System makes braking more efficient.

Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid Models

The biggest news for hybrid fans is the introduction of a new Hyundai SANTA FE in 2024. As part of Hyundai’s investment in more eco-friendly options, it’ll reintroduce a hybrid alternative as it’s done since 2022. Hyundai’s retained its 1.6-liter direct-injected turbocharged hybrid motor and six-speed automatic transmission. However, this year’s model is a little more powerful than its predecessor, generating 232 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque.

Technological Advancements

Hyundai will add steering wheel haptic feedback to the lane-keeping assist and blind-spot collision-avoidance assist features of its Hyundai SmartSense advanced driver assistance system. Steering wheel haptic feedback uses vibrations to alert you of potential dangers while you drive. With these changes, you should feel the steering wheel vibrate if you start veering out of your lane without indicating or begin moving toward a vehicle in your blind spot. This change is part of Hyundai’s enduring commitment to making its vehicles safer and more convenient for its loyal customers. Cars confirmed to receive the new feature include:

• The 2024 Hyundai TUCSON.
• The 2024 Hyundai SANTA CRUZ.
• The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5.

Concept Cars and Innovations

The development of concept cars and new designs is often shrouded in mystery, so it’s unclear what Hyundai has in store for 2024. However, a report from Korean outlet ET News suggests the maker may work in earnest on turning one of its most acclaimed concept cars into a reality. It claims Hyundai will begin producing an ultra-limited run of its N Vision 74 concept in 2026, so it’s likely the brand will work hard on developing this vehicle in 2024.

The report also says Hyundai will make just 100 of the vehicles: 70 for lucky consumers and 30 for racing under the Hyundai brand. It also suggests developers will be hard at work increasing the vehicle’s power from the initial estimated 671 hp to a whopping 800 hp. Hyundai also wants the final version to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in a mere three seconds.
