Hyundai sure has changed. Today,
Hyundai produces the eye-popping
Tiburon sportster, the elegantly handsome
XG350 and, not least, one of the curviest compact SUVs on the market, the
Santa Fe.
The Santa Fe has what Hyundai Motor America's president calls a very high gawk factor. We think it's a good description. A year after its introduction, the Santa Fe never fails to draw our attention. But rather than gawk, we drove. And we liked how the Santa Fe drove, both on and off paved roads.
For 2002, Hyundai has beefed up Santa Fe's standard-equipment list.
