A big SUV that’s not too big

The Hyundai Santa Fe drives really well with enough power for short or long trips - by Nedahl Stelio
  • 14 Sep 2018

There are proper seven seaters. Then there are five seaters with two extra seats in the back. Then there is the Hyundai Santa Fe. It sits in a sweet, sweet spot, for people who want a bit more space than those smaller SUV, but don’t want a huge car, and still want everything that goes with it.

Inside is stylish, with a swanky new digital display in front of the steering wheel that is lit up all green and futuristically tells you how fast you’re going. There’s also a heads up display with the speed limit conveniently right next to the speed you’re going to keep you on track.

The leather seats are perforated and quilted in different patterns which is a stylish touch.

You’ll get Apple Carplay and Android Auto as standard in the Santa Fe, which means you can plug in your phone and be instantly connected to apps like maps and Spotify, and it also allows you to dictate text messages or read you text messages while you’re driving, and use voice control to make calls. You’ll never have to touch your phone while driving again.

The sound system is good enough to turn it up and have a singalong.
