2021 Hyundai Santa Fe looks good, the grills a bit in your face but overall looks a nice car.
What have they done to the wheel arches
Can’t have a normal rear number plate and normal wheel arches, that’s just greed.
Looks like they have forgotten to fit the wheelarch cladding onto the panel to me......
Bit too fussy in the creases and swage lines but overall quite a smart looking motor

I tried to like the D5, up to now I have had 3 x D3 and one D4. The one thing I wanted was reliability as well as looking good. The D5 does not look good enough for its asking price. The new defender maybe is the way to go. Range rover is too big. In the end it is a consumer product and is subject to consumer current tastes.
Do you realise that the RR is less than 2” longer, is about 1/2” narrower and (if it matters) the Fatty sits slightly lower?

The new Defender, in 110 format, is the size of a FFRR. I believe it's slightly longer with the wheel on the back.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
2012 RRS SDV6
2008 RRS TDV8

New Kia Sorento on its way for me.
One of the good points of SUV designs is the brake lights are a bit higher than most cars , so are more easily seen in traffic.
Unless it's a Kia , where they decided to mount them low in the bumper
Still looks better than D5 r-send though.
Big brake light on the back.
My decision is made now, I pick this up in the next 10 days.
£34k all in.

It’s a good car. A colleague of mine has had one for 3 years and has only seen the dealer for servicing in 75,000 miles. I’ve been in it many times and it’s very comfortable and will do 90% of what a D4 will do.

Thx Moo, I am looking forward to this new addition. My D3 is now at the 70k mile point, 11 yrs old. Its gone through all the D3 glitches apart from cambelt tensioner. That is always in the back of my mind. I need a reliable ride. hope this is it.
