Hyundai is readying the fourth generation Santa Fe and ahead of revealing the car in flesh, the South Korean auto major has released design sketches of the car online. As it appears, next generation Santa Fe will come drawing design inspiration from the Hyundai Kona. Clearly, the fourth generation model of the premium SUV will look much more styling compared to the current Santa Fe.
As the design sketches have been revealed, the car features a large and bold looking front grille with aggressive honeycomb mesh pattern. The grille is flanked by sharp and sleek LED lights and there is a wide chrome bar at the edge of the hood. Sitting below the LED lights are the projector headlamps that sit in black housing. There is a muscular front bumper with central air intake flanked by rectangular fog lamps and a chunky skid plate as well.
