The Santa Fe was first launched in South Korea in 2000 and is celebrating its 24th anniversary this year.

I've ordered a Hybrid Elite model. Not sure how well I'm gonna handle being in debt for 70k though lol. But with my mortgage + car finance, my mortgage lender got down my weekly repayments to $530 a week which I think it's pretty manageable considering most people's rent is more than $600.

Thanks for reviewing a non Caligraphy model! How does the Sante Fe stack up against the new generation Kodiaq from a driver’s car perspective (ie fun behind the wheel) plus ride comfort?

The best beauty from front side, high Tech better than Mercedes, but only one crappy issue, 😂 Transmission 😂 The small engine not enough for such a big SUV

[@DEVILTAZ35]

That and it looks so ugly that it makes the new Range Rover actually look pretty.

towing capacity doesn't make sense. 1.65ton vs 1.9ton for the tuscan.I wonder if anyone noticed

[@merterdogan1078]

I believe the Santa Fe is 300kg heavier might be a factor

[@TonyP-fn7zq]

10,000kms far too short for servicing.

There’s NO space in the back… definitely only child seating😅

[@smsfsyd]

Test drove the highlander, it’s presented very nicely but the engine is so underpowered, I can’t imagine how it’s going to pull 5 people in it? It will take ages to overtake on a highway.. that dangerous.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

As ugly as sin. It looks like it was designed by an AI that played too much Tetris. When are these ridiculous bricks on wheels going to go the way of the dodo?

[@yslee1401]

Totally agreed. They tried to imitate the Landcruiser and Prado but the proportions and rear are totally out of whack

[@lungaswazi9194]

​@@yslee1401 Landcruiser? I don't see it. Perhaps a Land Rover Discovery. Toyota? Your head is playing tricks. The squared off Landcruiser is months old, so is the Santa Fe. They'd have to have had access to the designs years ago to imitate it. 🤔

[@lungaswazi9194]

😂😂😂😂 I actually like it. It reminds me of the LR Disco 3 and 4. The back is a mess though

[@sleepy1171]

​​@@yslee1401This came out before the square boxy Landcruiser tho. I do think this has taken inspiration from the Defender series SUVs. I like it. The back is ugly but whatever.
