The brand recently reposted a render on its main Facebook page of a Hyundai Santa Fe that looks like it's ready to compete in the Baja Rally or in Dakar.The brand wrote in its post: "The comments made suggestions, Khyzyl Saleem had an answer. [He] delivered an insane Hyundai Santa Fe build that proves that the internet has some of the best build ideas."AdvertisementAdvertisementTypically, when you ask the internet to do something for you, you might get a few trolls in the comments, but Khyzyl Saleem took this assignment very seriously, so much so that the images have disclaimers on them: "Computer-generated images shown. Vehicle not sold as shown."Hyundai USAView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleThe ArtistAccording to his Facebook profile, "Khyzyl Saleem is a British, 32-year-old (now 33 years old) vehicle designer based in the Midlands, UK." Otherwise known as Kyza, or @the_kyza on Instagram, he's quite well-known in the auto industry for rendering some very detailed pieces that are share-worthy. Not only that, but he also covers events, car culture, and then some. The beauty about his work is that all of it is madeHis designs aren't just limited to social media posts; in fact, his work has made it into real life. Given that fact, and given that he's also designed for TWR performance, which showcased his design at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, I guess all that's left to say is: "Your move, Hyundai."From Render to Reality?Wouldn't it be awesome if Hyundai actually took Kyza's design and turned it into reality? I'd love to see this render turn into a real working off-roader as shown. What's stopping Hyundai? Well, truth be told, modifying a Santa Fe to this extent would take a lot of work, but just imagine how insane it would be to bring the concept to life and actually race it.AdvertisementAdvertisementI mean, Hyundai's already in rally thanks to its N Division, so why not go off-road? I'd like to think this concept is up for discussion right now at Hyundai's head office, so hopefully the brand's seal of approval is a sign of things to come. Maybe.Hyundai USAView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Aug 12, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
