The design highlights the contours of the emphasis bodywork, for the specimen under test, also by a white livery with glossy black elements. Squaded, starting from the front, in which the headlights stand out with the bright signatures from the form to H, the geometrically regular stylistic motivation of the Korean SUV continues at the level of the wheel arches, and in the trend of the glass surfaces, with the latter that surround the car in a clear way up to the rear area. From this perspective the headlights stand out, which form a single band capable of extending also on the wheel arches, and are dominated by the large Santa FE’s word.
The external measures, including the height of 1.77 meters, associated with a width of 1.90 meters and a length of 4.83 meters, reflect a particularly generous interior, which offers hospitality up to 7 passengers, and a load volume of over 600 liters which, in case of need, can touch the 2000 liters. A lot of attention to comfort also for those who sit in the third row, where there is no shortage of storage and controls for the air conditioner. Sitting at the top and with a control panel formed by two screens melted in a single element in front, the occupants of the Holy Fe have the feeling of dominating the road, and those who sit in the driving place always have everything under control, even if they are in the city.

A car as large as it is simple to manage due to an adole voted for comfort, due to a fluid power supply, accentuated by the soft action of the 6 -speed automatic transmission and the light steering calibration. The power is not lacking, given that the Power Unit Full Hybrid, which associates the electric component with the 1.6 turbo petrol engine, provides a system power of 215 HP, which brings the Santa FE from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds and allows it, at the same time, to have decidedly interesting consumption, in the order of 15 km/l, in spite of a mass of about 2000 kg. Particularly practical, among the many driving aid present, the device that uses the cameras to project the images in the blind corner of the rear view corner when the direction indicators are operated before turning, or change the lane on the highway.
