New Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi Ultimate 5dr 4WD Auto Review
Category: 7-seater
Section: Version review
The Hyundai Santa Fe is a phenomenally practical SUV that's plush inside and comfortable to drive. If the pricing is competitive, there’s every chance this could be a seven-seat champion.
The trim
See full equipmentEven the most ardent hedonist might feel over-pampered by the Santa Fe in range-topping Ultimate form – it comes with such niceties as ventilated front seats and a panoramic roof. However, it is rather pricey. We'd stick with Premium trim.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 197bhp 2.2-litre diesel pulls well from low revs and has the best towing capacity of the range. Its 0-62mph time of 9.2sec is decent, but there are many other large SUVs that can beat this.
