Excellent The new model is a huge leap forward in every way. The classy looks combine well with a better quality interior to create an atmosphere that's an improvement over previous budget offerings.
Good The optional (£600) third row of seats folds neatly to make a decent storage area, and standard equipment is good. Anti-skid control, cruise and leather are standard.
Average It's fair to put the new Santa Fe up against more established seven-seat rivals such as the Mitsubishi Shogun or Nissan Pathfinder, and its costs of 42.6p per mile are competitive on this level.
Poor The hefty P11D is still a little tough to swallow for what is still considered to be a budget brand, and the driving dynamics aren't up with the best off-roaders.
Verdict Possibly the most impressive car yet out of Korea, but that doesn't necessarily put it ahead of the Europeans.
