I saw one during the week, they look good in the flesh, I do like the shape and the rear door shape was to provide the widest possible load access, any proper 7 seater is to be welcomed, the hybrid auto is the only option to consider.
To be fair, I also didn't like the back, until I saw the car at a dealership. It's much better than it comes in videos or pictures. Ultimately, we still went for a Kodiaq, sacrificing the third row.
Good review. Thanks. The back end though is really something not to be looked at much…. Ugly. Like the front and size but all goes to pot at the back. Kia have done it better here I think.
Left the on board charger at 3.75kWh versus 7kWh on the Tuscon this is a major failure as it limits the ability to charge to 3.5 hours so it exceeds the low cost EV charging window for most electric suppliers at night it also limits the ability to charge the car during the day
Totally correct. I had a 2021 Kia Sorrento PHEV and the abysmal charging speed was a major drawback. Not increasing the charge speed in this face-lifted versions of the Kia Sorrento and Hyundai Santa Fe (and also increasing the battery size) is lazy and cheap (but in a very expensive list priced car)...
Reduced towing capacity on the Santa Fe and Tucson certainly going to impact sales in NL. It is a PHEV and regular HEV available in NL? Don't think it comes in mild HEV.
Not too bad from the front end and side profile, but the rear is just ugly and will age very quickly, both brothers ie Kia and Hyundai over style there cars to make them age so you buy new ones as they change,, pity,,, Kia sorento is a far better looking car. My opinion 😊
This car has really grown on me. I think it looks crisp and sharp, especially with all black accents

Test driving one tomorrow.. looking forward to it. Thanks for the info
Lola like a Land Rover in person! The 25 model is impressing by the naked eye.... turned my head when I saw it....
I'd like the diesel no charging cables no pluging in just drive a diesel version would be the full package
It's like a girl I used to know- she was alright from the front but her behind was all over the place!🥴

It has looks of the Defender about the exterior styling.

Hi! What colour is this? Is it Pebble blue?

Did they fix the ignition thing 😂😂😂😂😂😂
In NL only PHEV here or MHEV here, both with only 1100kg and 750kg tow capacity, makes the car useless for me

@ hev Yes but still with same capacity in towing.
They just resized the Exter model released in India to Santa fe by stretching out😂
Looks like a van from the back
Cracking looking jeep looks a lot like a Range Rover
I guarantee you’ve been looking at the wrong car/jeep. That thing looks like a SSangyyong Rodius from the rear with a 75k price tag !

No rear wiper .
Tucked under the spoiler
Looks like something i’d scrawled on a page when i was bored in school 🤮
Not for me Jim, it's just ugly. Seems designed for the American market in terms of looks. The under armour logo lights on the back are terrible!
I thought, ooohhh look nice, and then I saw the rear and it was OFF ❗️🤢
@@markdean3217 😂
Hyundai seem to be making some great cars but this thing is bite your arm off ugly
