Stylistically, however, the new Santa Fe has about as much in common with the old Santa Fe as the old Excel has with the new Sonata. Gone is the round-mound design, replaced by monochromatic body panels, sharper creases and a better integrated mix of plastic and metal. Case in point: the Santa Fe is seven inches larger than its predecessor, but it looks scarcely larger at all, thanks to a wider track and sleeker sheet metal. Among the few items that Hyundai carried over from the outgoing Santa Fe are the roof rack and the liftgate handle.
