Hyundaiwill unveil the fifth-generation Santa Fe Cross in mid-2022, six months ahead of schedule.The Korean car blog said the reason for the enthusiasm is the current Santa Fe's low sales compared to other Hyundai models and competitors.

Originally expected to launch in 2023, the new-generation Hyundai Santa Fe is already in development, insiders say.Meanwhile, the current version of the Cross only hit the car market early last year: the cross then got a revised look in actual Sonata styling, adding size and getting a new 2.5-liter Smartstream 180-horsepower engine.In Ukraine, such a Santa Fe will sell for $37,100 starting in mid-May this year.

However, the Korean car blog found that sales of the car were not happy with Hyundai's management.In the past year, for example, the updated Santa Fe has sold 57,700 vehicles.That's less than the results for the pricier Palisade (64,800) and the Kia Sorento (77,000), which took the title of Korea's No. 1 crossover from Santa Fe.Hyundaiexpects demand for the next-generation Kia Sportage to drop further as it enters the car market.
