SINGAPORE – If you want to make an impressive sport utility vehicle (SUV), start with a decent size and a masculine design. Preferably, look to the iconic Land Rover Defender as a reference.
That seems to have been Hyundai’s formula for its fifth-generation Santa Fe. The SUV with three rows of seats measures 4,830mm long, 1,900mm wide and 1,770mm tall (with roof rails), while sporting a wheelbase of 2,815mm.
