The profile shows subtle curvature from front to rear. The lower fascia has black molding, and this highlights the geometric shape of the wheel wells. The fenders and sides are beautifully chiseled for an athletic touch. The Santa Fe, on the other hand, is a larger vehicle with modest definition through the hood and sides. The grille expands across most of the front end, drawing attention to the T-shaped, dual-elemental LED headlights. The lower fascia has body-colored trim, and a chrome accent piece runs across the side doors.
