Exterior Closely Resembles the Commercial Version
Overall, the Santa Fe armored truck doesn’t differ significantly from the commercial version. Key features like the T-shaped front daytime running lights, headlights connected to the grille, and horizontal LED taillights remain the same.
The most noticeable difference is that the two left side windows and the rear window are painted in the same color as the body. Additionally, the chrome trim on the grille and the side panels have been removed on this version.
