Hyundai has put the brand new Santa Fe on display at the New York Motor Show, giving the world its first proper look at the car after a long campaign of teaser images and CGI. Naturally it’s a much more stylish car than its predecessor, using the ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ design language that gives a coherent, swoopy look to all modern Hyundais.It’s not surprising, given Hyundai’s recent form, that the Santa Fe will be one of the best looking SUVs on the market when it goes on sale here at the end of this year. It will eschew the current Hyundai naming convention and hold onto Santa Fe, rather than adopt a number with an ‘ix’ prefix. As with the Veloster coupé, this is to distinguish it as a bit special in the context of the rest of the range.
