The new Hyundai Santa Fe is like a posh Land Rover Defender, blending luxury with tech and space for seven. With a 1.6L four-cylinder engine in the UK, it surprises with a plug-in hybrid option at 253 horsepower and a self-charging hybrid at 215 horsepower. Clocking 0 to 60 mph in 8.15 seconds, it outpaces the old Ford Fiesta XR2, making it quite the performer. Priced at £46,000, it undercuts premium SUVs like the Audi Q7, offering a premium design with Land Rover vibes.

Inside, the Santa Fe boasts comfortable seats and a luxurious feel, though some materials may feel a tad cheap. Driving it is akin to the Land Rover Discovery, providing good visibility and maneuverability in town. The car comes equipped with adaptive cruise control as standard, making long journeys a breeze. It sips fuel at an average of 36.9 mpg, almost hitting the claimed 38.2 mpg figure, ensuring a relaxed and plush driving experience.

The Santa Fe doesn't skimp on practicality, featuring 18 cup holders, ample storage spaces, and nifty elements like sun shades and UV phone disinfection. With 630 L of boot space and foldable rear seats, it offers versatility for cargo. Competing with the likes of the Land Rover Discovery and Skoda Kodiak, the Santa Fe proves to be a well-rounded SUV with a blend of luxury, performance, and functionality.
