4 out of 5 stars

For Well built, stylish and available with seven seats

Against Not the cheapest to run; hard to come by

Verdict Only its rarity stops the Santa Fe from being a great used SUV

Go for… 2.2 CRTD CDX

Avoid… 2.7 V6 CDX+

1. It's good to drive, with a smooth ride and accurate handling, yet it's also capable of mild off-road duties.
2. The option of two extra seats in the boot means that the Santa Fe can double as a decent people carrier. The extra seats fold down flat into the boot floor when not required
3. A 186bhp 2.7 V6 petrol model and a 148bhp 2.2 CRTD diesel were available from launch, but despite its power advantage, the petrol model isn’t much faster.
4. The diesel does an average of 38.7mpg, which is comparable with rivals, however, it produces between 191g/km and 193g/km of CO2
5. One of the biggest problems, though, is the air-con system. It can need re-gassing in less than two years
6. Its rarity means some dealers might try to overcharge – so haggle hard.
