It is only people who never had a Hyundai say that. We have two Hyundais, and they are far reliable than a Fiat 500, and two VW Polos that I had.

There is an off-road version of the new Santa Fe coming to North America market. The trim is called XRT.

[@brianallan9035]

I am not in the market for this type of vehicle, but I can see it doing very well. Maybe more so in North America where size matters. Great review as usual.

[@jakes5530]

I think color really makes a difference for this. White exterior with the “black ink” package looks awesome. Some of the other colors look bleh

[@ascott2168]

The overall design is slowly growing on me but the back just…it looks like Modok from Iron Man ! The interior is spot on 👌🏽

[@McGrogansSchool]

Landrover inspired. Very practical big SUV. Getting expensive though. Backside needs a cleanup:)

[@ConnorL-jb8eu]

They were so close with this one but the backend is unforgivable 🤮

[@alonzalbrown1883]

The color combinations and design of the interior is VERY beautiful. Im so in love with this redesign Santa Fe. It’s so fresh!

[@imdone1967]

A square design is fresh? 🤣

[@alonzalbrown1883]

@imdone1965 I mean, you say that as if they've used this same EXACT design before.

[@DeepDishPizza]

To all the stupid people who are saying “that’s looks like a Range Rover”. I’m 100% sure that the Santa Fe will last longer and have less mechanical issues and recalls than a Range Rover.

[@MG-ce3dx]

You're perfectly right , it will last longer than any Land Rover/ Range Rover but ,it still looks like they copied the design 😅 from the Land Rover Defender 😅

[@vpnconsult]

No.

[@timpoortinga7689]

You are such a kind person calling people stupid....... 🙄🤦

[@ishaansaral502]

This car is a great entry for the European market, since we lack mainstream practical 3 row SUVs. The only choices are German and French, which end up being expensive for optional extras and less reliable. This will fit perfectly since minivans have died out and it is the largest car in its class which families will appreciate.

[@MrSimonBurgoyne]

Great review - shame there is only the 1.6l hybrid engine and no diesel for open roads / over taking / towing etc.

Looks like Hyundai took a page out of the Ford Flex design book. Not a bad end result.

[@nawafa4307]

The design in the back will translate much better if they make the light box signature a solid fill instead of the H pattern.

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

I see nothing but G-Wagon in the back! I don’t mind the look at all. It serves a purpose for more cargo space.

[@dzmitrykuliashou1309]

And for me back design looks like renovated VW Transporter T3

hmm, i see more of defender like the overall looks, the steering wheel, interior all of it

No trizone climate for thie price? No keyless opening using rear door handle?

[@Sgcarnut]

They knocked off the interior of the Range Rover and Jaguar Xf. Which is not a bad thing

[@matthewsalmon8194]

[@cameronmurray3039]

If the Chinese brought this out we’d all be criticising it as a Land Rover knock off

[@sevensixtysteve8662]

Lovely, a great looking vehicle. Seems to have jumped into the space where the Disco 4 used to be now JLR have abandoned their tonka toy design language. Looks good inside and out and it's only the crazily small engine I struggle to get my mind around - I'd probably feel a bit more comfortable with a 2.0 onboard. I like this a lot though.

[@ishmaamsha-riyadimam5531]

only worry i have are the indicator lights just too low for me. even the tucson has very low turn lights

[@tolgaakyay]

The guy who was designing this car was on cocaine while designing the front, too drunk while designing the back.

[@aboutjohntyree2913]

Back looks decent and minimalist. this New Santa Fe had good design, i love it❤

[@kamoheloramathe7436]

I chose it instead of Range Rover and I'm still proud of my choice

[@juliandclarke]

Think I prefer the Kia EV9, if I needed a 6/7 seater

[@ashleynikole5796]

i wish they also had a smaller size without the third row. As a single person i dont need all of that space, but I love the way this car looks. Definitlely giving Range Rover vibes without the price.

Throw a 3L diesel engine with mild hybrid to be better in city and this will be a best seller.

[@owenwest9508]

Did Hyundai say what the MPg vs MPe is for gas and Hybrid models.. They are saying March for USA Gas model , but Spring for Hybrid, yet most of the demos on KZbin overseas are Hybrids??

[@ITGuy1970]

Finally something people can trade their Pontiac Aztecs in for.

[@VivekSharma-ip5ey]

Was the steering wheel taken from the Range Rover or was the entire carrier inspired by it?

[@zuti071]

Well, it's better looking than old model but without diesel engine i'm not sure they sell much of these in EU.

[@teodortotev1113]

VW Sharan / Seat Alhambra is the ultimate 7-seater, offering 5 isofix seats, 184 ps, 4×4 and sliding doors.

[@aurelion3]

It's amazing, until you look at the back. 100% buying one when the backlights get corrected.

[@henrikhook.]

The price-quality ratio is certainly better when compared to the previous 4th generation model!. Better premium quality. Hopefully also the pricing, the price is more competitive. 🤔

[@davidf6326]

How can you comment on the price-quality ratio, if you don't yet know the price?

[@VolvoMarkku]

Why is that no Hyundai-logo on the steering wheel? otherwise nice and gorgeous car, but I don't like that there's no Hyundai-logo on the steering wheel. I think that It would be a self evident in every car like seat belts etc. Maybe old Toyotas as exception where that was the model name instead of a Toyota-logo.

[@isaacwright8303]

Think that’s massive, get behind the wheel of a new GMC Yukon XL. Also I think Hyundai should have done something like the lift gate of the bmw i3 or the Audi q7, move the light bar up and add a second set of stationary lights under where the lift gate opens.

[@beccab2522]

Has the mpg been released yet?

[@JohnJohnson-jm8ku]

Reminds me of the new Dacia Duster, which is a good thing. I like the design.

[@rarknivesandleatherwork8045]

No diesel, kills it for me as a tow car. Shame as I prefer it to the new Kia and Skoda.

[@chrisgray4239]

Comprehensive review...how was the flight, hotels and banquet in Korea??? 🎉

[@TheKingstonCorner]

I hope they improved on those terrible AC vents in the middle row. They were so weak in the older models.

[@bloonpromo]

No idea why this is being compared to a 5008? I mean its totally different. This I would say sits in the Discovery and possibly Defender market better than the "small" SUV range

[@user-co7fd8pr7s]

If the rear lamp is tinted like range rover, it will look even better

It would be inexpensive to have that done.

1.6lt engine for 3rd row suv lol

[@shortfattoad7317]

You're missing the point, once the EU starts with the 'we must protect all citizens' malarky, cars will be limited to 112kmh, and side roads will have speed limits that will be constantly monitored. So fines galore. Forget long highway journeys, they will just not be allowed. Now you see where this is going? And not just Hyundai, Volvo has already complied in advance.

[@WSOJ3]

Ford should sue Hyundai for copying its Flex.

[@shortfattoad7317]

If they started that game, all manufacturers will be sued for something, like suing someone for having a round steering wheel.

[@sain4360]

Wished they do these in 5 seats, I like the size of the car but don't need 7 seats, the extra space from not having 7 seats would be used for transporting my dogs and their bits'n'bobs which I have in my current 5 seat X-Trail.

​@@NalaStaarthe 5 seater version has more room in the back because you free up the space the folded seats take.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@korona277 how? The folded seats align with the trunk floor. Lol

[@jogolock1190]

@NalaStaar you obviously got no idea what you are on about. My X-Trail 5 seater has extra storage space which would be taken up by the seat mechanism in the 7 seat version. Wish people would engage their brain a bit before commenting.

[@NalaStaar]

@@jogolock1190 ah. Apologies, angry pants. Then get a 5 seater or an actual truck. There’s plenty on the market. lol there aren’t many midsize suvs that can seat more than 5. Full size suvs have priced out a lot of ppl. So this is a great option for many. You’re the outlier for this car segment. The average consumer doesn’t purchase a new vehicle to cater to their dogs and bits’n’bobs… it was a smart move for Hyundai.
