For Santa Fe’s change Hyundai took an unconventional approach with a design typology to maximize rear cargo capacity and better accommodate outdoor and urban activities. As a result, the new model boasts a boring exterior design and spacious interior that flows from the openness of its enlarged tailgate that looks empty. The front of the vehicle chas high hood, H-shaped headlamps and sharp fenders. The H-shaped harmonize with the H-motif lower front design to enhance visual completeness. But it looks more like a children's toy without any detail that will inspire you.
Seen from the side, the lengthened wheelbase accommodates a straight roofline, a lot of volume around the fenders, sharply defined wheel arches, shortened front overhang and 21 inch wheels. Defined by its larger tailgate, the rear end is simpler,. The H-shaped taillights are unified with the front H lights. Again, this design looks so empty we could call it "The employer of the month will be anyone who draws the simplest car". And most boring because there's noting excited about that. We know that all cars look the same, but this is a step into the world where everything must be so simple like users are morons who can enjoy curved lines.
The refined interior offers a surprise by contrasting with the exterior. The interior design emphasizes horizontal and vertical lines, with an H-motif design applied to the dashboard and air vents. Again, if you have a phobia of open space, this Hyundai is not for you. There is a difference between a simple design and no design at all, and Hyunda chosen the latter. It looks like a design from 1970s but poorly executed. Everything is squared and empty.
The new SUV also incorporates a number of sustainable materials. The suede headliner, car mats, and second and third row seatbacks are made from recycled plastic, while the crash pad and door trim covers are made from eco leatherette. The brightly colored seats and headliner create a sense of spaciousness, that space again, and there are Nappa leather seats with delicate embroidery add sophisticated style. Hyundai may easily compete for if not ugliest than certainly most soulless car in history. Every other description is PR that has basis in reality. ■
