The exterior is what drew me to this car! I saw it on the road and I knew I wanted it.

This review helped me finally choose the 2026 Santa Fe hybrid, and I'm so glad I did has plenty of power when needed, and the handling in this car is one of the best I have ever driven.

One of the best new car reviews I have seen, well done. The complexity of the engine bay systems is a concern. I can imagine if any of them fail the local dealer techs will struggle from past experiences I’ve had 😬

The boxy look is what sold it to me. We looked at Toyota Highlanders, Chevy Equinox, other mid sized SUV type vehicles. But the look and finish of the Santa Fe, warranty, and price (about 10k less than the competition for the top of the line Calligraphy) is what really sold it.

That 1.6 turbo hybrid transmission combination will go down as a game changer for Hyundai.

Definitely polarizing looks, which surprised me. I'm one of those who think it's one of the best looking SUVs ever made. Boxy enough but also hints of Land Rover. And I love the tall boxy rear corners as you mentioned, it makes for more space and easier loading of tall items in the back. Just an SUV that looks MORE expensive than it is, which is rare. My buddy said he thinks they look awful. I bet it grows on people over time and every manufacturer starts copying it.
