I love my 2024 Hyundai Kona. The design inside and out is awesome. Hyundai/Kia have way better designs than any other competitors in the price range. Honda dialed back the looks in their recent gens. My gen10 civic coupe looked amazing but they made the new gen11 civics look boring

@@GaryKetchum808 I'd love to see the video explaining the aerodymanic of this car, most car that came out this year are boxy and I can't understand how it's could be more aerodynamics.
@samoeurnkaing2868 I'm no engineer, but I'm willing to bet it has to do with less open grille which creates less air pressure to build up front, and the smoother sides that taper off much more gradually than the old curvy Santa Fe.
@@jairo.romerooNah bro the Land Cruiser doesn’t, but this definitely does. The Land Cruiser’s just aiming for the same kinda “rugged and off road” design category but it doesn’t look like it half-copied Land rover, which this one kinda seems like
Wow everyone on here has 100k to spare for a Range Rover. A car that doesn’t have the same reliability as a Hyundai in order to impress people they don’t even like. The world is wild. 😂
A range is not 100K if you buy used. There are also cheaper versions like the Range Sport. The problem with suvs like sante fe is that they never make them as large or as tall as a range so it is not really comparable. There is no reason they could not make the sante fe 10 inches taller
@@GC9exeHOPEFULLY... I got a 2022 Tucson Hybrid Limited in January of 2022, but I was cross-shopping it with the Santa Fe. Because of the shortage, after markups, the dealer was asking $67,000 for a Santa Fe PHEV Limited. I understand it's a PHEV and it's fully loaded, but $67,000?!? Hard pass... I could get a GV80 for less! Lol. Ended up getting my Tucson Hybrid Limited for $40,000... From a dealership that wasn't marking up $12k-$15k. Lol
It's a love it or hate it situation. It is not bad looking, but not for me personally. I am happy I got my 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy. Has all i need and a cool, sensible suv look. I am sure this will do well.🎉
Defender isn't just a car, it's a legacy. Well the newer ones may suck but that car has some pedigree. No manufacturer can ever beat the legendary defender !
They are more reliable though. Compare model for model, year for year and Hyundai comes with 5 years warranty and where as Land Rover comes with 3 and break down in those years.
@@swewunna most people that buy a brand new rover are rich and they will be under warranty. Anything goes wrong gets fixed for free and they get a really nice ass loaner they don’t care about the reliability.
When it can wade through 900mm of water, be able to transfer 100% of its power to a single wheel if that is the only wheel with traction,rock crawl and have the ability to raise itself up to 11 inches on its suspension that is when we may begin to compare it to a Defender. Until then, it's a Santa Fe and that's not a bad thing either.
Journalists: This Hyundai/Kia is an amazing bargain! At this price it's unbeatable, it should compete with luxury cars $20k more! Kia/Hyundai dealers: 👀 say no more fam Such goes the story of the Stinger, Telluride, Palisade, and every EV thats ever come from Korea 😢
Just watched Hyundai’s founder documentary; his first attempt at making cars was by importing the parts from Ford bcos back in the day South Korea couldn’t manufactured it yet, so Hyundai and Ford have history way back.
Looks great, probably drives great too. But does it have the locking differentials? What is the towing capacity? Obviously its no match for Landrovers offroading capabilities. But pretty great for mild offroading or general purpose for an average person.
and same gdi that One major challenge with GDI systems is the buildup of carbon deposits on the intake valves, commonly known as valve gunk. GDI engines have their fuel injectors inside the combustion chambers and this means that the fuel never touches the intake valves, where valve gunk is likely to build up
This will probably be our next vehicle to replace a Kia Sedona which we really don't need all that much space but we won't be getting the top of the line model. Would like to see reviews of the lower trims that most people will actually buy.
It couldn't be a Land Rover. It has a better warranty and hasn't broken down yet.
Lol 😂
There’s some truth to that!🤷🏻♂️
100% agree with you
this is a piece of cr4p compared even to a 1949 land rover
Go visit a Hyundai dealer they may have good warranty but they are in all the time as components are poor. It would get stuck mounting a kerb
The era of refrigerator cars has come 😂
It never left if you ask me
@@antonioangelov5122 you right shoulda said come back
New era*
Such an ugly vehicle. I hate SUVs
@@bh2155 yeah most of them look terrible. At least the Hyundai and Kia SUVs don't look too bad imo. Chevy put some effort in the looks too

No imposible never
They look good new but on the road cheap

I really hate it...
Well, the thing is that it's going to be hard to find people to like it. It's just terrible!
Ok dicky
I'm stuck in the middle. I love the front end and hate the rear
That's a damn Ford flex
Hyundai beat Ford to the punch!
@@alexpea4379 Beat Ford?
Hyundai is like 10 years late to the party my dude.
I'm meant as far as making it bigger only!
Also a tahoe
Basically, but the rear of this thing is just hideous..
Why’s the steering wheel shaped like a Range Rover one 😭💀
What do you expect? It's just a Defender rip off😂
Hyundai Genesis started that type of steering wheel first!
From range rover? How low could you get🤡 Its nearly the same steering wheel from the Ioniq series
This isn’t the right car clown
@@moktafizaman9077they said shaped like 🤦
The back tho. 😢 so nice till you see the back
Kinda looks like a 1st gen geo metro in the back
The Back is a no go.
Yea, what a dumb design 😂
I agree, this vehicle is absolutely gorgeous except for the back, which is just weird looking for some reason and kind of kills the excitement.
It’s booty is hanging over and hideous.
Got a 2005 santa fe for $800 with 215k miles on it. This vehicle has come a long way😮
Pros: the design looks great headlights is awesome. Cons: I don't like the taillights and how it's possession.
That ass is boring. They will have to change it.
The year is 2024 and automakers are still pretending off-roading is of any concern to anything more than a tiny sliver of customers
Front end has Ford Flex vibes.
rear end also does
Hyundai went from an aerodynamic efficient design to a refrigerator 😂
Funnily enough, the drag coefficient on this one is more aerodynamic than the previous Santa Fe.

Looks way better boxy
That doesn't look like a Land Rover--it looks better
Fix the back, change the copy/paste wheel/ increase the size of the glass roof, add ventilated rear seats and this is a great, GREAT competitor.
They stole the Range Rover steering and ripped the logo off 😂

I currently just bought this car. The back actually looks better in person!!! That's what makes it unique. love this car
1980s and 90s look so beautiful love the classic boxy design! ❤🎉
Everyone is making a Land Rover lookalike. Why don’t they also include the electrical issues?😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Don't worry they already have a headstart on fhe engine catching fire first 😅
I thought am the only one who noticed that, it's very awful
Everything about it is awesome except the back design. Quite outmoded
I would prefer that they do not.
You guys have gotten really slick with your videos -- keep up the good work!
Thanks!
I drove one today. Great SUV. I'm getting an all black one.
Just bought one. Loving it so far.
That looks better than Defender.
HELLLLL no especially the back end this Hyundai is absolutely hideous from the rear
That can't be a Land Rover because it's not unreliable like a Land Rover 😂
Except they have had to replace the transmission twice on the one the bought 😂😂
So where will this slot in the lineup compared with the Palisade?
nice Lego brick 😂
Are you comparing Hyundai to Ford?? You are joking, right? Ford can't compete with Hyundai now, dude.
That's a Ford flex
More Ford Flex than a Land Rover lol The tail is so unbearable
Exactly ... a little taller but they bit Ford to the punch.
Ford has a design. This Hyundai overdosing design
No way is this a Ford Flex! LOL 😂
Hey! That's automatic sunroof bro! You're killing it.
Finally the box shape done right and affordable
Looks exactly like a Ford flex - you guys love to compare Hyundai/Kia products to Land Rovers, they’re very different
Also nobody is cross shopping a hyundai with a land rover..
@@loripecoraro7000This car has nothing to do with land rover
Raising the rear light up to at least the "Santa Fe" would fix the whole vehicle
I think Genesis is really worried now. Hyundai is making a comeback to the luxury market, I'm speechless.
I love it, specially the BACK.❤
We want this SUV in India, I am telling you bro, it's gonna be on aravalie hit.😊
It looks stunning

jus gotta take the hyundai badge off will give it a more premium look
holy shit the minecaft hyundai is here
I loved my old hyundai terracan it was great this looks brilliant and if it's any good one I would buy in the future. Bet we don't get it in the uk

An Americanized Palisade for the US Market. Hyundai is bold indeed.
Probably as reliable as a Rover😜
We need an EV version ⚡
Hell nah 💀💀
The same helpless nah dogs were barking when we were asking for an EV Escalade 😎
Thats like the car from breaking bad at the rear
Front like a defender, back like a flex. It's a deflector.
Hyundai just copied land rover’s homework for 2024
The difference is that it isn't going to break down and end up in the mechanic every 2 months like a Land Rover
This suv looks unique 💀

This car is awesome, but dont like the back in pictures. Maybe it will change my Mind in real life.
The back would be so nice if the tail lights were higher
Ya but what trim level is that? I’m curious if they’re going to keep the calligraphy name or maybe change it
Nowadays every car trying to be defender. This shows the class and standard of Defender
How they will differentiate it from Pallisade? Btw parents just get a minivan, it’s best and much practical than 3 row SUVs
That car be bigger than my room💀🍷
What is the fingerprint sensor for?
The back side looks like the RR Defender, the driving wheel inside is also like the Range Rover.
DEFENDER is the Father of All Off Roading
Side by side comparison to the first Santa Fe would be scary in some ways 😁
My guys trying to be nore animated on these shorts is so hilarious to me. It's not then but they are giving it the ol college try and im cool with it.
finally! something uniq. I like back of the car so much

Does it break as easily?
Bro said: if i can’t buy it, i make my own
I love love love mine !!
I wouldn't take as a compliment be compared with a Land Rover.
Is it better than a Palisade Calligraphy Edition?
The only problem is the reliability issue in new engine fitted, unless they still use the old crdi 2.2 diesel version is reliable engine.
