Sophisticated surfacing even on Hyundai's cheapest crossover. A lot going on, yet it all coheres. Very nicely proportioned for a 159-inch-long, 62-inch-tall vehicle. Could look cheap. Doesn't.
Styling makes the rear pillar appear much less upright than it actually is. LED tail lights. The blue and white theme continues inside the Denim. The entire interior, not just accents.
All hard plastic, but it doesn't look cheap. Compact instrument panel puts everything in easy reach Why have a "tacked-on" display and have it extend only a fraction of an inch above the dash top?
