Matt Campbell
Senior Contributor
Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Looks unbelievably cool
- Some serious off-road adjustments
- Decent price compared to aftermarket
Misses
- Needs more ground clearance
- Better as an overlander than a serious off-roader
- Still has some super annoying safety tech

James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Return of ST-L greatly reduces entry price
- Solid space and kit for the money
- Sweet atmo V6 motor
Misses
- Steep $4500 premium for AWD
- Feels dated next to Santa Fe, Sorento
- Sweet V6 gets thirsty in town
