Hyundai Santa Fe Triumphs with Prestigious 2024 Red Dot Design Award



Hyundai Motor Company has once again solidified its reputation as a leader in automotive design, clinching the prestigious 2024 Red Dot Design Award for its latest iteration of the Santa Fe in the Product Design: Cars and Motorcycles category. This accolade underscores Hyundai's commitment to a customer-centric, lifestyle-driven design ethos that resonates globally.

The fifth-generation Santa Fe, celebrated for its 'Open for More' design concept, excels in merging functionality with style, making it ideal for the adventurous and dynamic lifestyles of today’s consumers. The SUV features an extended wheelbase that not only enhances the vehicle’s stability and driving comfort but also maximizes the interior space. This design innovation provides a terrace-like living space in the rear, which, coupled with the enlarged tailgate opening, promotes a more enjoyable and versatile outdoor experience.

The Santa Fe’s distinctive silhouette, marked by a long wheelbase and wide tailgate, conjures a sense of robust elegance. Its front view boasts a high hood lined with H-shaped headlamps and bold fenders that amplify its commanding presence. At the rear, simplified H-shaped taillights complement the balanced design. The SUV's interior is equally impressive, offering expansive living space and high-tech amenities such as a Panoramic Curved Display and dual wireless charging. Sustainable materials like recycled plastic and eco-friendly leatherette align with Hyundai’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

In addition to its automotive accolades, Hyundai Motor also garnered recognition in the Product Design: Outdoor and Camping Equipment category with its innovative Multi-Lantern. This versatile accessory serves dual purposes: a powerful portable flashlight and a warm mood light when paired with a translucent diffuser. Inspired by the traditional Korean 'Horongbul' lantern, the Multi-Lantern blends historical motifs with modern needs, offering stability and warmth in its design while ensuring durability with an IP65 dustproof and waterproof rating.

The Red Dot Award, hosted by Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Germany, is renowned worldwide, attracting submissions that highlight exceptional design quality and innovation. Hyundai's double victory in this competition not only celebrates its design excellence but also reinforces its position as a forward-thinking leader in the automotive industry.

These awards are a testament to Hyundai’s unwavering passion and commitment to designing vehicles and products that enrich customers’ lives and offer substantial value. As Hyundai continues to push the boundaries of design and technology, it remains dedicated to creating exceptional experiences for users around the globe.
