Hyundai Santa Fe 1.6 TGDi Plug-in Hybrid Premium 5dr 4WD Auto Review

The model
Read full Hyundai Santa Fe reviewThere’s loads to like about the Santa Fe, including its huge boot, seven-seat practicality and impressive roster of standard equipment. The regular hybrid will make more sense to most buyers, but the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is a no-brainer if you're a company car driver. Either way, stick with Premium trim rather than Ultimate.
The trim
See full equipmentWe reckon Premium trim makes more sense than Ultimate; you still get loads of standard kit, including adaptive cruise control, heated leather seats (front and the back) and keyless entry.
The engine
See full engine specsWhile the plug-in hybrid has a larger battery and electric motor, the extra weight means that its performance feels the same as the less powerful HEV. The PHEV system means you can drive on electric power alone for an official range of 36 miles. That lowers CO2 emissions and makes it a no-brainer for company car drivers who want to keep BIK tax payments low.
