2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Gets More Aggressive Looking With New XRT Appearance Package


Hyundai’s popular Santa Fe SUV, heavily updated for 2021, is gaining a slightly more aggressive-looking appearance package for 2022. Dubbed the XRT and based on the higher SEL trim with the Convenience Package, the Santa Fe XRT adopts a popular blacked-out exterior look to give the two-row family SUV a bit more styling bite.

The XRT comes with either front- or all-wheel drive and adds:
- Unique dark-alloy 18-inch wheels
- Matte-black grille

Buyers interested in the Santa Fe XRT won’t have to wait long. According to Hyundai, the Santa Fe XRT should be arriving at dealers now. Those looking for a more rugged take on the Santa Fe Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrid, however, are out of luck: The XRT is currently only available on gas-only models, at least for now.
