Toyota reliability is unmatched, but their design and interior tech certainly leaves something to be desired. I wish they would take a more modern approach like how Hyundai has with the 2024 Santa Fe that looks like a Ranger Rover with the latest design like a BMW but at a more affordable price point. While also reliable, the idea of a Toyota but with the new design of say the Santa Fe would seem to be the perfect mix. But perhaps part of the reason Toyota is so reliable is because they put such a relative little focus on design/tech enhancements? Love that Santa Fe is Hybrid in US, but also surprised the new model doesn't offer a plugin hybrid (in US) this year which would think would be quite popular. But perhaps they want to wait to 2025 incase any major issues in the new 2024 model before expanding the lineup.
