It looks way bigger even in person even though the dimensions aren’t that much bigger. Smart design.

It is, and it does.

Agreed! So sick of grays

I think so as well.

while it looks nice, I wonder what the reliability will be with their engine.....Hyundai is notorious for bad engines....and their new dual clutch transmission is an unknown entity. My son and daughter have the old style 6 speed hyundai transmission and they work flawlessly......why mess with a good thing.

its a redesign, thats the proper term

@@dm19609721 6 speeds get less MPG. I have a 6speed in my truck and if you drive it correctly, you can get better than suggested MPG. Basically getting better MPG, idiot proof. Bur some changes are glaring. Subaru went from a 4 speed to a CVT. Which is the most obvious example of increased MPG via the tranny.

I approve this message. This looks vastly different from any of their other vehicles, except the Ionic 5.

They’re for sure quicker in their cycle but I’m sure they’ve been developing for more than a couple of years. They’ve probably been working on the next one a year ago already. It still is very impressive.

The reason for the low lights - I think you forgot to get back to it - but you see it in the almost perfectly VERTICLE gate lifters - it is shocking something like 20 cm extra clearance! It gives an idea of what styling choices are often made to "be cool" at the expense of the product actually being the best in function.

Trump approved 😂

DCT...yes you do.

You also don’t have to worry about anyone being envious either.

all you have to worry about is the people who built it taking over your suburb

Yep! Landis are CR-P. Whilst at the Land Rover showroom a week ago 5 arrived on trailers with engine issues!

You've never owned a Hyundai, I take it I've got a 2015 Santa Fe and have never had not one problem with it. Hyundai is very reliable.

By copying Land Rover?

The Koreans are very good at making the things you can see and touch 👌 but the thing that you can’t, are sometimes 🤔

@@der83 Besides being boxy it looks different from the Rover.

Do you see Land Rover suing Hyundai?

Land Rover never copied anyone?

Glad to hear someone else think the same. I’m person it really is quite a striking design and looks great while driving down the road. Hard to believe it’s a Santa Fe

The only taste that people have in cars is the taste in their mouth. I personally don't care too much for it.

Where they will inflate the price. Don't pay it. Walk.

@@krane15 What he said!! I actually do not want it to hit the dealers....Please support direct to consumer vehicles so the market can suffer.

That's its one biggest mistake. Signal light should ALWAYS be mounted up high were they can always be seen from every direction. Not hidden down below by the person that pulls up to close behind you.

Couldn't agree more!

The production model may be different.

Well, when I'm standing behind it. And I see the ugly taillights and rear end. Of course, i'm not gonna like it so that ruins the rest of it for me.

I saw the all black. It’s pretty awesome. Drive review is coming at the end of November.

Thanks!

I do as well

I agree. It seems that almost all manufacturers think that if you want to get the top trimmed, you want captain seats, but I would love to have the top trim as well, but have an extra passenger.

Not the case. Many others vehicles have this feature.

That makes the other vehicles unsafe.

First thought that came to my mind. You don't want your doors opening automatically for carjackers. That includes proximity key which I'm hoping can be turned off. I've been out of the car shopping market for a long time.

The interior alone. As long as the price is competitive. It has to stay below the luxury models.

Unfortunately not. I just left Korea.

Was the first time I tried. Next time I’ll try and schedule it.

Yeah, looks like an old Land Rover!😅

This has more than a passing resemblance to a Land Rover Defender. Many of Hyundai / Kia / Genesis models have designs that are copies of other manufacturers. The Genesis models that look like BMWs, the Kias that look like Civics, the Genesis SUVs that look like Macans... Motor Trend on the Santa Fe: "The Land Rover Defender-esque vibe that pervades the Santa Fe's sheetmetal continues inside, with a steering wheel and beam-style dash that evoke (perhaps we should say Evoque) Britain's fancy family-haulers." AutoBlog: "Hyundai really butched this one up, to the point where Land Rover comparisons are not unwarranted. Seriously, it looks more like a Land Rover Discovery than the actual Land Rover Discovery." Edmunds: "We think the aggressive new look bears a striking resemblance to the current Land Rover Defender. That's no accident. Hyundai has said the car's design has been shaped around "the latest outdoor lifestyle trends." In other words, the Defender is selling well, so let's copy it. Car and Driver: "In fact, the new version looks more like a Land Rover Defender than it does its predecessor....If the new Santa Fe's exterior looks like it was created by someone working from their memory of a Land Rover Defender, the interior looks like it was designed by someone sitting in an actual Defender. The Hyundai's cabin is considerably more upscale than before, with a redesigned three-spoke steering wheel that looks like it may have been pulled straight off the Land Rover production line."

@@msalzberg4962 Your comment oozes of ignorance, bordering on sheer stupidity. It's one thing to say the designs are sheer copies of other brands without knowing the details as to why. The average person knows Kia designs have had dramatic styling changes since 2006 with much cleaner silhouettes. However, what they don't know is this coincides with the hiring of Peter Schreyer, the former head of design at VW / Audi. Peter is behind the iconic designs including the Audi TT, '97 Golf, New Beetle, '00 A4, '97 A6 etc. so yeah, there's a reason why Kia (and later Hyundai) designs have more of a Teutonic flavor. Similarly, the Genesis GV80 has Bentley Bentayga-esque lines because this corresponds with the hiring of Luc Donckerwolke, who was the head designer at Lamborghini (Diablo, Murcielago, Gallardo, Miura concept etc.) and was later the Bentley Director of Design. He oversaw Audi design as well. Later, Luc was hired at the Hyundai group and took over as Head of Design at Genesis, taking over from Peter Schreyer. It's one thing for designers to flat out copy designs (as we often see with Chinese companies) and German and Japanese companies are all guilty of infractions in the past. However, it's different when the actual designers are FROM those companies you are claiming to hire as they're bring over their design ethos and they have street cred. Now I don't know who is behind this Santa Fe design, but given Hyundai likely has hundreds of staff globally in their design team, I'm sure there are some who have experience working at Land Rover. Is there a strong resemblance with the exterior, yes. Does it look like it came off the Land Rover line, no. That's total BS. The interior of this Santa Fe looks much nicer and more functional imo than even the top end Range Rover which costs 3x as much. Interestingly, look up the interior of the 2024 Range Rover and you'll see a two-spoke steering wheel which is not unlike the 2-spoke steering wheel found in the Genesis GV70. You're making an absolute fool of yourself..but hey, you have every right to do so...

@@msalzberg4962 "In other words, the Defender is selling well, so let's copy it." This is the dumbest comment I've seen on YT today... I'll let you figure it out

@@alex99398 What else explains Hyundai / Kia / Genesis so blatantly copying the designs of other cars? Do you think that grafting the front end of a Mercedes to the rear end of a BMW to create a Genesis model is because they thought "hey, no one buys these brands, so let's make a car that looks just like them?" Please.

@@msalzberg4962 Clearly reading comprehension is not your forte (pun intended). What Mercedes and BMW is grafted on to any Genesis? Dude, pass the dutchie, cuz you're on the good stuff. You MIGHT have had an ounce of credibility if you had referenced Bentley, but c'mon man, do better than this.

Which market are you in?

@@EverydayReviews2022 Eastern Europe.

This one baffles me. For a family, kids will often ride in a back seat so when has it been mandatory for kids to unlock the car? If I have a key fob, I double click to open the doors from 50 feet away. How is this even an issue for anyone?

21” wheels 😎

@@EverydayReviews2022 😉

there IS an off road variant called the XRT coming out as well

@@vvvxt Great! Low profile tires are not useful where I live (rural area), they handle better but the ride is harsh.

I think it would depend on your needs for size. This is much bigger than the GLB inside and out. For me I’d go Santa Fe

Not in North America. Other market can get a bench for the second row.

There's been many squarish "maximum utility" designs over the years. The Honda Element comes to mind.

@@krane15 I have a first generation Scion xB. It's a mini Ford Flex.

Ford flex with the twin turbo is amazing. They're expensive now. I couldn't find one under 30k

I have the same selector in my IONIQ5 and love it compared to the push button I have in the Palisade I’m driving this week. It’s very easy to use, I guess just like anything, you need to accept change. Frees up so much room and is very intuitive. What issues have you had with tranny?

This tin can cannot be compared to X5 period!!!

@@azatkuliev9824 Who compared it with an X5?

@@EverydayReviews2022 The dual-clutch in the Santa Fe is garbage. It's noisy and clanky (first vehicle I've owned that I can actually hear gears actuating). It shudders in slow stop and go/creeping traffic like the clutch is slipping.

@@mikevaquero3766 I’m not a fan of DCTs in regular passenger cars either but this one didn’t seem to have those tendencies at all.

If you like the current one go for it for sure. I like the extra room and the newer tech of the new one plus I dig the new looks.

Your own words indicate that you should look elsewhere.😊
