00:00The VW Tyron and the Hyundai Santa Fe are undoubtedly among the most interesting SUVs for families.
00:12Both models offer seven seats, hybrid drives and extensive technical equipment.
00:18While the Tyron scores with its more conventional design, the Santa Fe surprises with a futuristic and angular appearance.
00:26To find out which of the two suits it better, let's take a closer look at the details.
00:33The VW Tyron is 24 cm longer than the Tiguan and 13 cm shorter than the Turek.
00:41Its sleek, streamlined silhouette lends charisma.
00:46The dark-tinted wheel arches emphasize its lines and the wheels are available in sizes from 17 to 20 inches.
00:53The backlit VW logo dominates the front, connected by an LED strip that connects the headlights and enhances the overall look.
01:04This modern, yet conventional design is also continued at the rear with the illuminated logo and the LED strip.
01:11In the sporty airline trim, the Tyron gets a more dynamic front bumper and a special package replaces the standard chrome details with black accents.
01:22Although the new Hyundai Santa Fe is based on the same platform as its predecessor, there are some significant changes.

01:53With its sharp and decisive lines, it is strongly reminiscent of classic SUVs.
02:00The rear is particularly striking with its very low-set horizontal lights.
02:06Despite the square shapes, Hyundai has paid attention to aerodynamics.
02:10Two movable elements in the front area can change their angle to improve the vehicle's efficiency.
02:19The wheels are 21 inches in size and there is a choice of special colors such as earth brass metallic matte, a dark orange with a matte effect.

04:11For additional comfort, ventilated and heated seats and a new massage system are available.
04:17The materials and trim are high quality and convey a premium feel.
04:22The Hyundai Santa Fe relies on soft, sustainable materials and a minimalist style in the interior,
04:29similar to other models from the Korean manufacturer.
04:32The dashboard is dominated by two 12.3-inch screens arranged side-by-side.

04:46which can also be controlled via physical controls.
