Quilted Nappa leather comes standard on the seats, door trim, and portions of the dash, and the high-quality cowhide has a nice supple feel. Upgrading to the Calligraphy trim affords you levels of comfort that you won't find anywhere else in the Santa Fe range – or most other places in this segment for that matter. You can get 20-inch wheels on the standard Calligraphy model, but we actually prefer the slightly smaller shoes. The multi-spoke 19-inch wheels look handsome within the non-cladded wheel arches (a rarity these days), the taillights cleanly extend out and over the rear fender, and the subtle silvery detailing on the back of the Santa Fe actually adds a premium feel, as opposed to the same treatment on the front end. The entire front fascia just feels like a jumbled mess.īut beyond that questionable front end, the rest of the Santa Fe's styling is clean and inoffensive.

Plus the ultra-slim daytime LEDs sit high up on the bumper, practically bordering the hood line. There's lots of chrome around the lower intake, and it looks rather chintzy.

The front grille looks funky, highlighted by a garish chrome treatment and embedded headlights on each corner that are nearly imperceptible at first glance. So we're not entirely sure why the Santa Fe turned out like this. Hyundai has been on a roll with some of its more recent designs – the Ioniq 5, Tucson, and Santa Cruz are all great.
