This makes sense to simplify the product line and standardize the style look on the new design language.

I have to say they are still giving allot of value for the money.

I like the look, it has an intimidating, trucky look to it and it doesn't just look like a clone of everyone else.  This stands out a bit more.  Seems like good pricing, compared to what others charge, it is right in line. 

I wonder what this weighs, it looks big for a 174 lb-ft  4 cylinder to haul around, the Turbo should move it fine.

Hard to wrap my head around almost $40k for a mainstream crossover with a 235hp turbo 4.

Isn't this midsize? I think Tucson is their compact.

They said it was replacing the Sport, which is a small midsize I guess.

I just checked, the dimensions are pretty much spot on with a Ford Edge, 3 inches longer than previous model.

You can run a Terrain or Equinox over $40k and those have a 250 hp turbo 4, and they are a whole size segment smaller than the Santa Fe.  All these crossovers are expensive.  You can spend $50k on a loaded Edge I think.

It's odd, but I like it!

[Drew Dowdell]

Unconventional in looks, but I agree with @daves87rs, I like it. 

[G. David Felt]

Yup joining the crowd in saying that I also like the look of this. It reminds me of the ORIGINAL Cherokee from the 90's, that lovely Brick on wheels that Jeep sold a butt load of.

[ocnblu]

Looks good, has more of a truck presence, which I like in a crossover.  SEL Plus AWD seems like the sweet spot.
