T-dubz Posted December 6, 2024 Author Share Posted December 6, 2024 Hmmm, not sure what their design inspiration was for this. The front looks chinese, the side looks like a 2000’s era GMC suv with its square wheel arches, and the interior looks like a 1970’s truck. I think the overall shape is good, but I’ve said this a 1000 times, Hyundai/kia always seem to put one or two styling elements in their vehicles that keep them from having broad appeal.

Same with Toyota. They always do something that takes an otherwise good design and ruins it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they still are using a full slate of manual controls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted December 6, 2024 Share Posted December 6, 2024 I thought it was the KIA Minivan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted December 8, 2024 Share Posted December 8, 2024 Wow, Hyundai put their styling right back in the shitter, after taking some baby steps forward. I wish I could unsee that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted December 8, 2024 Share Posted December 8, 2024 I'd remove the silver strip above the windows. The roof rack carries the theme of silver from the back pillar just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their recent trends make me think HQ in South Korea has taken back the control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted December 9, 2024 Share Posted December 9, 2024 Yikes. No thanks, I don't know what they're doing these days styling wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
