Talk:Hyundai Santa Fe

Ground Clearance, 'DM' series

One thing not included in the dimensional specs is ground clearance. The CM years (2007~2012) had a very clean undercarriage. For 2013, some bright boy decided to wrap the exhaust under the rear axle -- the first thing someone who actually drives one of these where it's otherwise capable of going will accidentally scrape off. 2007 ~ 2012 = 8.1" of pretty doggone clean underside 2013 = 7.3". Doesn't sound like much of a difference, but have a look underneath and the hazard becomes obvious.

I'm not sure it's the one person mixing U.S. and Aussie SF stuff. It's very confusing mix-up, for example, it appears U.S. model years are used chronogically, but it's my understanding they don't have the model year concept down under; needs to be cleaned up.

Yes, that is me adding that information. I don't know how else to add in the information - any suggestions? Car makers do use model years here in Australia, but mostly internally. The public still doesn't really understand the concept. Davez621 11:59, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Santa Fe Back To RAV4/CR-V Competition!

Because of the Veracruz competing against Highlander and Pilot, Santa Fe is back to competing against RAV4 and CR-V. The 2007 CR-V is shorter than the RAV4.

Tucson Vs. Element Vs. RAV4 Vs. Escape
Santa Fe Vs. CR-V Vs. RAV4/FJ Cruiser Vs. Edge
Veracruz Vs. Pilot Vs. Highlander Vs. Freestyle

However, with the Highlander moving to the full-size Avalon platform, this would mean the Edge or Santa Fe would be targeting the RAV4. -- Bull-Doser 03:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

oh, i found this page from hyundai website.

where someone said a sunroof was not avaiblae untill 2003 is not true. a sunroof has been available since 2001 launch, as i have owned 4 santa fe's manufactured before 2003 and 3 of them had sunroofs.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.121.47 (talk) 04:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Was this a compact SUV that became a mid-size later?

The first generation wheelbase, at 103 in., seems to be closer to other "compact" SUVs such as the Escape, which isn't listed as a "similar" vehicle. Was it still considered mid-sized when released? Or did it start as a compact and then became mid-sized later? Madmaxmarchhare 20:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Santa Fe is still a compact crossover SUV. Even though the Veracruz (which measures 190 in., forming the size of a mid-size SUV like a Chevrolet TrailBlazer or Ford Explorer) is based off that platform, the Santa Fe continues as a compact crossover. Even though it is still compact, it competes with 7-passenger compact crossovers such as the Toyota RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander. -- Bull-Doser 21:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

To Bull-Doser, sorry, everybody don't think so. that is your think. hyundai and SantaFe owner and other people do not think so.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Totoz (talk • contribs) 18:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

POV tag

I noticed the {{NPOV}} tag on the article, but where were the disputes?

I could find no evidence of POV disputes, so I removed it.Hondasaregood 18:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

There's one minor instance regarding paint colors ("yucky green") that's unsourced - that's about all I could see. Possibly the battle on this talk page over the car's market position (CR-V/RAV4/whocares) set it off, but that's not a reason to tag the article itself as personal POV. Overall, the article's really in need of some cleanup - I might look into it later. Duncan1800 (talk) 08:26, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Supposed North Korean version

Lately, somebody here has been claiming that a version of the Santa Fe is being manufactured by the North Korean company Pyeonghwa Motors in the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, there is not enough evidence that such a vehicle exists. I checked out the official Pyeonghwa website and saw nothing about it. The user who posted said claim used a link from Odette Benelux as one of his references, but the article only mentions that Pyeonghwa manufactures door modules for Hyundai and Kia and there is nothing about a Santa Fe built by them. Therefore, I have deleted that user's entry on grounds of lack of evidence. - Areaseven (talk) 00:59, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

First Generation Beatle Like Shape
