Our Thoughts

With enhanced interior room for passengers and cargo compared to its predecessor, the redesigned Santa Fe aims to fulfill families’ needs for maximum utility. New tech and performance upgrades round out a practical daily driver, though buyers should not expect serious off-road prowess. The Santa Fe expands Hyundai’s SUV roster to cover a wide range of budgets and lifestyles best suited for suburban and light recreational use. With seating for up to seven and ample technology features, it’s a spacious, affordable option tailored towards families who spend more time shuttling kids than cresting trails.
