Hyundai is introducing the N-type of vehicles since 2017. Over these two years, those models gained huge success.

Just like the exterior, the interior design will be changed in comparison with the base model. The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe N will look stylish and unique. Comfort is better now and the cabin will offer generous space. The seats are looking sporty and the interior is practical. Cup holders are now on a better position and within a driver’s reach. The dashboard will be three-dimensional and it will offer a larger infotainment display. Unlike the base Santa Fe, the “N” variant will get plenty of standard safety systems.

That also includes numerous driver-assistance features. Amenities such as rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control are all standard. Blind spot monitoring is optional, just like the forward collision warning. Santa Fe N now offers a rear-seat occupant alert system. Blue contrast stitching looks both subtle and stylish.

Drivetrain Specs

The base model already offers numerous engine choices. One of those engine options will power the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe N. This high-performance version will deploy Hyundai’s new Theta III engine. A 2.5-liter turbocharged engine will deliver over 300 horsepower. Unlike i30 N and Veloster N models, Santa Fe N is a significantly heavier vehicle.

That is the main reason why Hyundai opted for this turbo unit. Besides that, Hyundai will install new five-mode selector and suspension will be re-tuned.
