Updated Jun 07, 2021 | Same topic: Most Updated Car Concept

The Santa Fe Sport will be one of many Hyundai models that will be debuted at SEMA 2017 later of this month.

The Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is probably not capable enough to be ranked among the world's best off-road SUVs. Yet, with the extreme-looking concept to be shown at SEMA 2017 in the next few weeks in Las Vegas, there is a high change that this car could actually make it to the list of best off-roaders in the planet.

Hyundai Rockstar Energy Moab Extreme Off Roader Santa Fe Sport Concept

Created from the cooperation between Hyundai and Rockstar - a famous energy drink brand and designed based on Moab Extreme Off-Roadster concept, the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport promises to defeat any  tough terrain. It is even expected to conquer the extreme climax in Moab, Utah - one of the world’s most challenging off-road area.
