The brand recently reposted a render on its main Facebook page of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/reviews\/2025-hyundai-santa-fe-hybrid-review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hyundai Santa Fe <\/a>that looks like it\u2019s ready to compete in the Baja Rally or in Dakar.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">The brand wrote in its post: \u201cThe comments made suggestions, Khyzyl Saleem had an answer. [He] delivered an insane <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/news\/hyundai-santa-fe-is-the-cheapest-electrified-vehicle-to-insure-for-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hyundai Santa Fe <\/a>build that proves that the internet has some of the best build ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">Typically, 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: \u201cComputer-generated images shown. Vehicle not sold as shown.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Artist <\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">According to his Facebook profile, \u201cKhyzyl Saleem is a British, 32-year-old (now 33 years old) vehicle designer based in the Midlands, UK.\u201d Otherwise known as Kyza, or <a rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the_kyza?fbclid=IwcGRvZgVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFnRUZoanRRbEJZSXZQY21Sc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHtKjvfIOQ9Wej0NFn7bNB2G6uZxkajYVVDrrEseF-1lPdcAMA-Fpixo5_LZO_aem_GZmQSGoiuykuBu99VbtuAg\">@the_kyza <\/a>on Instagram, he\u2019s 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 made<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">His designs aren\u2019t just limited to social media posts; in fact, his work has made it into real life. Given that fact, and given that he\u2019s also designed for <a rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1JoMw7cMAe\/\">TWR performance<\/a>, which showcased his design at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/sports\/goodwood-is-bringing-its-motorsport-magic-to-america\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed<\/a>, I guess all that\u2019s left to say is: \u201cYour move, Hyundai.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>From Render to Reality? <\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">Wouldn\u2019t it be awesome if Hyundai actually took Kyza\u2019s design and turned it into reality? I\u2019d love to see this render turn into a real working off-roader as shown. What\u2019s stopping Hyundai? Well, truth be told, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/sports\/goodwood-is-bringing-its-motorsport-magic-to-america\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">modifying a Santa Fe <\/a>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. <\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">I mean, Hyundai\u2019s already in rally thanks to its N Division, so why not go off-road? I\u2019d like to think this concept is up for discussion right now at Hyundai\u2019s head office, so hopefully the brand\u2019s seal of approval is a sign of things to come.
