This can't be serious?

I love Hyundai as a company and most of their cars and designs, but this has to be one of the worst looking vehicles they’ve released in years. The rear end especially is awful.

RichF90M5C · 08-02-2023, 01:30 AM

Hideous.

They pricing themselves quickly out of the their original market share. This is the lower rung of Genisis now correct? I have not paid attention to the pricing on them but these dollar amounts for average consumer are getting quite high. Sante Fe used to be mid range like an Equinox.

They must have had some crossover with BMW's design team! Have no idea what they were thinking! Wow, what a depressing design!

average price for a new car is $48k, which is right about the top end of the santa fe pricing. Average price for a new luxury car is $65k+

Santa Fes ranging from 30-50k is right about where every other "cheap" SUV/Crossover is priced.

Ok guess I just have not kept up with the inflated pricing of cars the last three years.

I heard the designers put that Easter egg in there.

What is it with kia/hyandai putting their turn signals in the bumper at knee level on cars? Drives me crazy...

Donatello. · 08-07-2023, 07:24 AM

& people still tell me I am nuts when I say new car pricing is out of control...

GuidoK · 08-07-2023, 12:20 PM

The front looks very much rangerover inspired, but the rear looks more like a something made by ssangyong...
I'm amaized that no one in the vast number of boardmeetings made a remark about that rear side....

G30M · 08-10-2023, 02:15 PM

while we may not buy this car i applaud the buttons and tons of space in the trunk. in fact i'd rather have this than a X3.

Germanauto · 08-10-2023, 09:10 PM

Pretty innovative design. Props to Hyundai/Kia again, their cars always stand out.
