If they update the Santa Cruz with a similar design they might actually compete with the Maverick.

Imagine the new Lexus GX team releases their new design, and then a month later your team drops that turd

there's a PHEV version with an identical door on the other side for the electrons, i think they probably did this for symmetry/cost reasons.

That can be convenient in RHD countries.

i doubt they switch the location of the fuel and electron filler for markets as that has pretty big complexity implications

My 'favourite' thing about it is the lighter coloured one has the similarly pointless fake C pillar thing of the Defender. It looks odd.

General car is fine but that bit is a head scratcher.

What bothers me most is that the taillights don’t line up with anything else on the car. They’re not carrying a belt line or a body molding or anything like that, they’re just kinda slapped on, way lower than anyone would expect.

Is it a trick of the eye or does it look MASSIVE? Doesn't santa fe compete with the Rav4? At least the load floor looks super low on the hatch.

The Flex was what every stupid cuv should be: boxy to maximize the usable interior volume. I applaud Hyundai for finally coming around to the idea. Agree the taillights are weird but who’s ever bought a Hyundai crossover for its looks?

It's vaguely interesting looking and actually looks relatively unique for another mass market SUV thing, pretty sure that's Hyundai & Kia's main design idea at the moment. Make people look at it, even if it turns some people off.

I definitely don't understand the negative comparison to the Lexus, which to me just looks incredibly generic and boring.

Lexus had to make it boring, they're going to be selling it completely un-updated in the year 2050.

No, that’s the Tucson

Yea this is what I was thinking, they look like Sedan height so you just have this weird flat emptiness above it but before the glass

The current Santa Fe is about halfway between a Rav4 and Highlander.

It'd make sense to embiggen the Santa Fe because the current one is a bit close to the Tucson (which is about Rav4 sized)

It's really just the low tail lights throwing off the proportions. I bet we all get used to it in like a year and then other manufacturers start copying it.

On the flipside to the Hyundai this looks worse quality than any shed-built kit car that was produced in the UK in the 70s

The Model Y was the best selling car in the world in Q1 and has no buttons. People here complain but the larger car buying public mostly doesn’t give a poo poo except when the implementation is notably horrible.

People will accept pretty much everything perceived high status brands will tell them to accept. As evidenced by pretty much all the new subscription models, new tech etc.
