Coming from SFCP Forum, would like to share what the new SF looks like
2013 Santa Fe (ix45)

I'm just hoping that this will be the correct model

^ Tucson/ix35 on steroids.haha

pero sa harap it does not resemble from previous spy pics. maybe IX45 version is different from the santa fe version? just like IX35 and tucson pero minimal change lang yung sa ix35 and tucson.

nice lines! i like how it ends sa rear parang Sonata.

Tucson on steroids indeed. Kung hindi lang malaki ito, sa biglang tingin, pwede din itong maka pasa as massive facelift ng Tucson. Especially dun sa black side mouldings.

wished it had more subtle and slightly elegant front para mas may distance sa looks ng Tucson. Just like what the Sonata is to the Elantra ba.

can't wait to see this in person

Meh. Parang Tucson na pinilit gawing Santa Fe.

Ewan ko, but sana naman iniba nila yung design from its little brother.

I like the current one better. Depende nalang siguro kung iba yung itsura niya in flesh.

not hating on hyundai, but did they run out of ideas that they have to make all their cars look the same? i like the current one much better.

i thought the Sonata, Sta. Fe, Genesis Sedan & Azera will share the same looks....

I am partially disappointed kasi nawala na yung exterior cues like the rear door handle + the 4 circular brake lights sa likod.
