The Hyundai Santa Fe is more than just an SUV with real off road capability. The Santa Fe offers MPV flexibility changing from five to seven seats in minutes. The interior of the Santa Fe could be forgiven for being confused with a luxury saloon, given that the comfort of your passengers takes priority as of course does their safety. This versatile car is not only handsome but clever too accommodating all your needs.

Hyundai Santa Fe 5 seater Auto GTD 2010

I had a Santa Fe 2006 model which gave me no trouble and was superb to drive. I changed it when the 2010 version with the 190+ h.p engine came out. What a fantastic car! It goes like a sports car and it is incredibly economical; I get 40+ mpg running about and my best run was 140 mile round trip at 52.4 mpg. It is very quiet and the auto is so smooth. Altogether a superb 4x4.

Hyundai Santa Fe diesel auto cdx 2005

This is my second Santa Fe, my first was a 2004 diesel manual and at the time it was the most reliable car I had owned. The auto I have now is just as good; it is excellent in the snow, but its ultra reliability is what counts for me.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2010

Drives 140-200 km/hr like a breeze. Super power. Can leave CRV, Fortuner, Rav4 behind in the expressway.

Hyundai Santa Fe CRTD CDX+ Auto 2007

Have driven high miles in a Toyota Landcruiser, Landrover Discovery (not latest version) and two Nissan X-Trails prior to this Hyundai. The Santa Fe rates highly in this group (not as good as the Toyota but a lot cheaper!). It is roomy, comfortable, performance is not bad although doesn’t accelerate too well up motorwy inclines in the way that, say, the 2.5 petrol engined Nissan does. Diesel engine is very good for relaxed cruising and it is quiet. The auto gearbox is not great - changes down too easily when all you need is a bit more acceleration in the current gear and, as a result, puts the engine into high revs which is unproductive in a diesel. I use the tiptronic function quite a bit which gets round this problem. Went for the 5 seat, not 7, as rarely need 7 and the underfloor storage that you get without the extra seat option is much more useful for us. Roof bars would be useful but they are too wide to take any standard fittings so means back to Hyundai for ski racks etc. Economy is 28mpg round town, up to 33 on long run at less than 75mph. Been excellent over past 20,000 miles

Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 CRTD 155 CDX 5st 5dr 2006

If you’re snobbish about your car badges then you’re going to miss out on a very good 4x4 that really can hold it’s head up against the big boys. This car has real refinement and is very well built. The drive is exceptionally smooth and there is practically no noise in the cabin. A very composed and stylish car that has never let me down.
