SPIED: Hyundai's Next-Gen Santa Fe Spotted Testing For The FIRST Time

If you're not blind, it's pretty easy to spot a handful of vehicles in Hyundai's line up that don't quite match up with the new design language. One of those vehicles is the Santa Fe and Hyundai's been working on revamping its image a bit.

As you can see in our cover image, the next-generation Santa Fe is shaping up a bit. One line that stands out quite a bit is the somewhat X3-inspired line that runs upwards as it approaches the C-Pillar.

While still under heavy camouflage, it's obvious that the next generation Santa Fe will feature a modern look heavily influenced by the latest Tuscon / iX35. The same goes for the interior that sports a double binnacle design for the instrument panel.

We expect to see Hyundai's new crossover model making its debut either late next year or in early 2013...

"Yup. Yet again, Hyundai steals design queues from the Germans"

Really? How you know it's covered up. You X ray vision or something? Becuase if you do, what does the back and front look like? What does the grille look like and what does the interior look like. I want to know right wayyyy before the unveiling at the next year's Auto Show.

"Yup. Yet again, Hyundai steals design queues from the Germans."

Ignoring that the LaCross' tailights copied BMW. The Accord's C pillars copied BMW and that the MDX's talights copied Audi. But since those cars are not Korean..... it's orginal.

No reason to worry about Hyundai copying anything remotely close to fantasy fan boys dreams.
