How does a car maker progress in such a short time from design that's mundanely derivative to a continual stream of stylistically cutting-edge models? That's exactly what Hyundai has done. You might not like everything the brand does these days, but every new model it makes demands a second look, including this one, the fifth generation Santa Fe family SUV. In its lifetime over nearly a quarter of a century, the Santa Fe model line has progressed from budget brand 'Qashqai'-class SUV to something altogether far bigger and grander, equipped in more recent generations with seven seats. This latest 'MX5'-series version has higher aspirations still, up towards the premium brands, substituting their badge equity for an arresting boxy, futuristic look that will certainly turn heads on the school run. But is there substance to match the style being offered here? Let's take a closer look.
This fifth generation Santa Fe isn't actually quite as revolutionary as its futuristic styling suggests, but it's still a big step forward from its forgettable predecessor. Not everyone's going to like the radically changed look but at least it will now be difficult for prospective segment customers to ignore it. If you like the visual statement this car makes, you'll really like it - which is not something you could have said about any of this model's predecessors. It manages to be a lot more practical this time round too; there's apparently a trend in South Korea for campers to sleep in their cars rather than in a tent and you almost could in this one. So it's an adventurous SUV, a family wagon and a school run statement, all rolled into one. And it will attract a whole new breed of buyer who previously would never have considered a Santa Fe.
