The new-generation Hyundai Santa Fe has received a pair of XRT option packages bringing suspension upgrades, tougher rubber and various accessories.

    The dealer-fitted XRT packages, available to order now, can only be applied to all-wheel drive Santa Fe models, regardless of trim level.

    Both packages swap the standard 20-inch alloy wheels for 17s.

    Hyundai has been busily rolling out XRT models across its SUV range, with the Ioniq 5, Tucson, Santa Fe and Palisade all receiving the treatment in North America.

    This marks the first time the XRT nameplate has been offered in Australia.

    The Australian-market XRT option for the Santa Fe is different to that of the US-market model, which is a full-fledged trim level – albeit one with a similarly rugged look and lifted suspension.

    The US-market Santa Fe XRT gets dark chrome and black exterior exterior trim elements, plus a unique front bumper and grille. It also has XRT-branded, leatherette-upholstered seats.

    It also rides on larger 18-inch alloy wheels, and is offered exclusively with the turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that has yet to be introduced to Australia.
