2024 Hyundai Sante Fe: Completely redesigned SUV looks great, drives well
Don’t let the aggressively boxy styling of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe fool you. The completely redesigned mid-size SUV looks like a slightly smaller version of the rugged Land Rover Defender 130, minus the spare tire mounted on the rear door.
