3 out of 5 stars

For Its butch looks are impressive, as is its space, masses of equipment and great reliability

Against The all-new model, which was launched in 2006, is better in every respect

Go for… 2.0 CRTD

Avoid… 2.4 petrol

Hyundai Santa Fe 4x4
  • 1. There's plenty of room for five adults and their luggage
  • 2. Mild excursions off-road are fine, but this is no Land Rover Freelander

  • 4. Check for any signs of off-road abuse, especially underneath
  • 5. Every model has stacks of equipment
