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.
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.

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
I fancied the Sorento, but when I saw the Santa Fe at the release event I realised this is the car for me. As soon as pre-orders open I'll be ordering one - AWD, HEV, light blue metallic.

Great review - shame there is only the 1.6l hybrid engine and no diesel for open roads / over taking / towing etc.
Landrover inspired. Very practical big SUV. Getting expensive though. Backside needs a cleanup:)

They were so close with this one but the backend is unforgivable 🤮
2009 Ford FLEX.
The overall design is slowly growing on me but the back just…it looks like Modok from Iron Man ! The interior is spot on 👌🏽
The design in the back will translate much better if they make the light box signature a solid fill instead of the H pattern.
The color combinations and design of the interior is VERY beautiful. Im so in love with this redesign Santa Fe. It’s so fresh!

Looks like Hyundai took a page out of the Ford Flex design book. Not a bad end result.
The backside looks like the "Scooby-Doo" van.
Has the mpg been released yet?
This will sell like hotcakes. I hate the back, but as a family oriented driving this could be the best.

good explaination and good car.
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.

Great video!
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 KZread overseas are Hybrids??
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.
6:38 you have to use the physical key to unlock it. It's there for every model
Love it! even the back :)
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.

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

How can you comment on the price-quality ratio, if you don't yet know the price?
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.
They knocked off the interior of the Range Rover and Jaguar Xf. Which is not a bad thing
The back looks like an 80‘s VW Transporter/Vanagon. I quite like it.
1.6lt engine for 3rd row suv lol

Was the steering wheel taken from the Range Rover or was the entire carrier inspired by it?
Very good journalist.
But online it says the car is coming to Europe tho
Korean Discovery 👌😍 but it needs 3.5 biturbo with 375hp 🤔
I hope they improved on those terrible AC vents in the middle row. They were so weak in the older models.
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.
Reminds me of the new Dacia Duster, which is a good thing. I like the design.
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
Finally something people can trade their Pontiac Aztecs in for.
Think I prefer the Kia EV9, if I needed a 6/7 seater
The guy who was designing this car was on cocaine while designing the front, too drunk while designing the back.
Well, it's better looking than old model but without diesel engine i'm not sure they sell much of these in EU.
I chose it instead of Range Rover and I'm still proud of my choice
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.
Surely they could have put a bit more thought into the design of the rear.🤦♂️ I love the rest of it, but the back....
It's amazing, until you look at the back. 100% buying one when the backlights get corrected.
I said this is looking better then the new 2024 Lexus GX550. wow!
Did you see the 2024 kodiaq interior? 🔥🔥🔥
Will this car sale in Germany?

Fun fact : same designer as the ' Land Wind '........
It has a MOC Lego SUV feel
The back looks excellent. Gladly loses that same ol’ ‘busy’ design.
If this is the “Ultimate”, the Kia EV9 will be the nec plus ultra
Beautiful
Santa Flex Rover.. 😏 😁 Looks. Good though..
Hyundai are a car company in a hurry. But they do seem to completely restyle cars at frequent intervals meaning your current gen version now last gen version gets dated.

It's odd you didn't mentioned it is just a copy of the EV9 and the interior is also very much like the new KIA cars, since KIA and Hyundai share designs. except this is hybrid and not full eletric.

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.

@@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.
Jeep 7 Seater, Mazda cx90, Toyota Highlander and many more options not just Skoda and Renault and definitely you cant compare to BMW and other luxury cars.
That looks like it was designed by Lego!
Sad those new and nice Mid to BIG SUV still using those old school small sunroof, divided in 2 is even worst.... Big Moonroof is the way to go! I have a Sorento, the sunroof/moonroof is so nice, one of my favorite features.... But those new cars can't have it??? SAD!
Ford should sue Hyundai for copying its Flex.
If you tell an ai to follow the current car trends, this will be the generated
Looks nice,but if they are still using the same ol crap engines??????
The station wagon makes a comeback.
