Hyundai Santa Fe (01 - 06)

Ratings

4 stars

Summary

Recommended. Revised in late 2004, this is a superb package. Korean it may be, but the feeling is of something German - for a fraction of the price.

Review

A cross between an off-roader and a conventional estate car, this kind of vehicle is becoming increasingly popular with young families. The Santa Fe may not be the best-looking example, but it's more than fine to drive - particularly the V6 with the automatic gearbox. It offers masses of space, little road noise, a comfortable ride and good equipment levels. The interior is well laid out, the driving position is very good and the sound quality from the standard CD hi-fi is impressive. Storage places are abundant, as is the enjoyment you should derive from being in this car - even in the city. The 2.0 turbo diesel offers the best combination of economy and performance for everyday use.
