There's a few 'must haves' to consider when buying a seven-seat family SUV: It's
got to be reliable, safe and spacious; and it's got to offer outstanding value for
money.
But with so much choice available right now, the line between what you need in an SUV,
and what you really want, can be a little hard to judge.
The fourth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe arrives bigger and better than the model it replaces,
growing in size to offer accommodation levels comparable to those of rivals like the Mazda
CX-9 and Toyota Kluger.
The passenger cabin is larger, with adult-friendly third-row seating and bigger rear doors, while
cargo space also increases, up 31 litres on the outgoing model.
But size isn't everything, and it's the quality of material and assembly in the new
Santa Fe really appeals to me.
Higher grade materials and tighter, more uniform shut-lines are a real highlight throughout
the cabin… …and on the outside, lustrous paint and
impressive attention to detail show Hyundai is taking itself more seriously than ever
before.
Standard technology and equipment levels are class-leading, and the level of included electronic
driver safety aids a real stand-out.
Infotainment and connectivity bases are likewise well covered, the three-variant Santa Fe range
offering just about every mod-con family buyers could want for the money.
So, that's a big tick on the space and equipment front.
But what about what's under the bonnet?
Hyundai carries over the 2.4-litre petrol and 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engines offered
in the previous Santa Fe.
Both are cheap to run, and both come with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive
as standard.
All Santa Fe variants are backed by Hyundai's five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and
lifetime capped-price servicing program, and up to ten years of included roadside assistance.
In-car drive impressions Hyundai has really raised the bar on its popular
seven-seat SUV.
The new Santa Fe is bigger, better and safer than its ever been before, and remains an
easy to drive family car with generous after-sales provisions.
The new Santa Fe combines the spacious family SUV you want with the safety and modernity
you need; and if you haven't considered a Hyundai before, this is a great place to
start.
