A shakedown of one of the nicest midsize SUVs we have in the market right now

Over the decades, the Hyundai Santa Fe has evolved from an anonymously amorphous blob into a sleek and sporty family crossover. Becoming one of Hyundai’s best-selling nameplates in the process. Given this proven formula, it came as quite a shock when the Korean giant abruptly relaunched it last year as a brutally boxy SUV with a meme-worthy Nikki Minaj rear.

Bold H-shaped headlamps frame the upper grille, while an H-shaped frame borders the lower grille. Sandwiched between them is a third grille, hidden behind active shutters. Yes, that fire-breathing 2.5-turbo under the hood needs extra nostrils to, uh, breathe. The large center console features oversized twin wireless charging pads, generous cupholders, a bi-directional box—opens to the front or rear—and a lower shelf that’s generously wide but a bit difficult to access. Thankfully, it doesn’t eat into knee room. The front seats have an incredible range of power adjustment—at 5'4', I found my feet dangling off the floor with the driver’s seat raised all the way.

Out on the open highway, the Santa Fe still maintains that easygoing loping ride it has always had—minus some jiggle from those gigantic 245/45R21 Kumho Ecsta tires. Your passengers' experiences may vary, however, passengers all the way in the back complained of some discomfort over rough roads due to those thin tires. The 20' wheels on the GLS may give a smoother ride over bad provincial roads.
