In this episode, Throttle House delves into the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe, a vehicle that seems to have taken a few design cues from the iconic Land Rover Defender. The boxy exterior of the Santa Fe is a bold departure from the norm, offering a spacious interior with great visibility and a turbocharged engine that delivers a decent performance. Despite lacking the off-road prowess of a true Defender, the Santa Fe impresses with its smooth ride and comfortable seating, making it a compelling option in the SUV market.
The team at Throttle House appreciates the innovative storage solutions and responsive technology found in the Santa Fe, along with its user-friendly design and luxurious touches. While the Santa Fe may not match the ruggedness of a Defender, it excels in providing a refined driving experience that appeals to those seeking a blend of sophistication and capability. The comparison to a Land Rover product is evident in the Santa Fe's design elements, steering wheel, and overall aesthetic, showcasing Hyundai's attempt to capture a similar allure.
Despite its resemblance to a Land Rover, the Hyundai Santa Fe stands on its own as a versatile and well-equipped SUV that offers a balance of comfort and practicality. The team acknowledges that while it may not be the most nimble or quickest in its class, the Santa Fe finds its niche in the market by delivering a competent driving experience at an attractive price point. Overall, the Santa Fe impresses with its blend of luxury, functionality, and value, making it a worthy contender in the competitive SUV segment.
