Its a monocoque-body from the Sonata. Thats why its lower than the taller PPV-based and ladder-framed Fortuners, Monteros and Mu-Xes.

Saw one in the flesh, ang panget nga.

I also saw one in the mall and I find it underwhelming. Its not ugly, but its sort of "meh."

I'd rather get a CR-V or CX-60

As to why car reviewers (local and abroad) don't mention that fugly rear is a mystery ... all they say is controversial rear ... have yet to see one that tells it like it is ...

in my opinion,
it is more politically correct to say "controversial" and not outright "ugly".
the former lends some wiggle room into the debate.

So true. That's why it was refreshing when these two reviewers said that most new cars photos look better in real life, except this Sta Fe which is UGLIER in real life.

I think the design won't age well.

this is why people should look at the all new units in the flesh first before pulling the trigger.
A case of Reality didn't live up to expectations.
Most people are thinking it to be a cut price budget Defender/Discovery, heck it even has an outside grab handle on the C/D pillar to be able to climb up and load items in the roof rack.
Its not really that bad but it surely didn't live up to the big expectations it garnered.
