When I think back to the original this is so far removed that it's now in a completely different sector. Good looking vehicle although not sure about the rear end.

The original Santa Fe was a 5 seat only SUV with questionable styling. The new one is still in the same sector as the 2nd gen car in 2006. Everything is getting bigger because that is what buyers want, and everything (including Dacia to a lessor degree) is being pushed upmarket because there are more profits to be had.

Personally, I think it is hideous! (the rear end, IMO, has a whiff of 1st gen Ssangyong Rodius about it)

But that type of vehicle is of no interest to me anyway.

...I rather fancied a new model Tuscon until they 'straightened' the top of the wheel-arch, so just like this Santa Fe, it's a NO from me!

I know it's a small thing in the grand scheme of things but it really grates on the (my) eye....
