I was behind one of these the other day and was so perplexed as to what Hyundai did to this vehicle. I know the Santa Fé has gone through some radical changes in the past, but I would argue they’ve always made it look better each time until now.
The front doesn’t look too bad, but I almost find the rear styling of this vehicle to be borderline offensive. I’m really curious as to who signed off on this.

That 1992 Dodge Carvan rear end kills it for me. I like everything else about it. The interior looks top notch.
Front: sexy. Side: sexy. Back: what the fuck is this thing?
It’s mid 00s ford flex meets mid 80s station wagon
i dont mind it that much but i agree it could have been better
Meh
This car looks amazing until you look at the back. Why are all car designers nowadays seemingly on that omega purple OG pack.
The front is great the side is great the interior is good the back is awful. Still really like it especially since 3row midsize.
Hyundai moves fast so i think theyll switch up the rear quickly
I feel like Hyundai should bring back Galloper, when new Mohave/Borrego will drop
Call me blind but I literally dong see what people hate about the back of this thing
It’s a car, it’s not particularly pretty but it isn’t an abomination either
I don’t hate it. I notice we are trending into a boxy and low tail light era. Thank god because I can’t see another Chevy suv blob of sameness
My issue is that it’s much bigger, longer & bulkier than the previous gen Santa Fe & almost as large as its big brother the Palisade. Hyundai oughta bring out an SUV that occupies the size, price & configuration of the old Santa Fe.
