Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-1010 This is the all-new Hyundai Santa Fe! Hyundai has gone to town on the Santa Fe, updating the looks from a regular, fairly ordinary-looking SUV to one of the most imposing 7-seaters on the road today! So, is it more style over substance, or should you consider the Santa Fe over competitors like Skoda Kodiaq or Nissan X-Trail? Let’s take a closer look. So of course, we need to start with the design, and it’s fair to say we’re seeing a bit of classic Land Rover design language from the outside… But that’s no bad thing! The boxy shape really helps the Santa Fe stand out on the road, as do the smart and unique H-shaped daytime running lights. The front end is minimalistic and impressive, while the rear end is clean but really emphasises the boxy design. Step inside and the Santa Fe is a really nice place to be. There’s a large curved screen that incorporates both the digital dials and infotainment screen, and thankfully there are separate dials for the climate controls. The seats are super comfortable, and the majority of the cabin is fitting with soft touch materials. There are absolutely tonnes of cupholders, so practicality isn’t an issue, and even adults can fit into the third row of seats if needs be! When it comes to performance, there’s only one engine available - a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder. This is available as either a self-charging hybrid with 215hp, or a plug-in hybrid with 253hp. The new Santa Fe range starts from around £46,000, rising up to around £50,000 once you’ve added a couple of options. But should you really choose it over some of its class-leading rivals? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!
