Have you seen the new Santa Fe 2019, Hyundai? Rating 7/10
If you haven't had time to see it yet, take time to see it. It seems Hyundai, according to my view, has hit a jackpot in terms of looks for its new mid range SUV. The new Hyundai Santa Fe 2019 looks good. The new front grill with the headlights is taken directly from one of their concepts cars, shown in multiple auto shows. In many cases, I must admit, many mid range car producers either get the front or back end done well. But in this example Hyundai seems to have managed to do both front and back well. Kudos!
As mention, front looks good, and also back looks good. I can see a bit of latest Lincoln MKC and Acura RDX/MDX in the tail lights but still enough distinguished to be unique. The only downside, without getting into details, is that the loading bay and back door is a bit high and narrow for loading compared to other SUVs.
Interior wise the new Hyundai Santa Fe looks good. They offer car play for both Apple and Android devices which elevates the user experience. Another big plus according to me, is the gear is parallel instead of inline of the cup holders. With my own experience, when the gear stick is inline with the cup holders, depending of the size of your cup, will interfere when you manage the gear stick.
The rest of the instrument panel seems to be designed well enough to match cars like Mazda CX 9 and other mid range SUVs.
So my rating is 7/10. It could be higher, but its a Hyundai, i dont fancy Korean cars to much, even if this looks good.
