Reviews SummaryHyundai got in on the crossover SUV craze early with the original 2001 Santa Fe, a weird and quirky machine that didn’t quite hit the mark. That’s been resolved with the all-new 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe, a great looking and roomy midsize crossover covered by the Korean automaker’s lengthy warranty. The lineup includes GLS, SE, and Limited trim levels, each powered by a V6 engine and featuring front-wheel or all-wheel drive. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Jeep Liberty is an off-road-ready compact SUV with the heart and soul of the brand’s much heartier vehicles. It’s able to climb, crawl, and wade through much stiffer terrain than its tiny size would suggest, and makes use of four-wheel drive and a solid rear axle to get through the tough stuff. The Liberty is targeted at new-car buyers that want a rugged and capable SUV to take where more pedestrian vehicles just can’t go. It competes with the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Subaru Forester. Jeep offers the Liberty in just two trim levels: Jeep Liberty Sport and Jeep Liberty Limited. Though it slots below models like the Grand Cherokee, the Liberty carries much of the same styling and off-roading attitude as those pricier models. A single engine is available for the 2007 model year: A 3.7-liter V6 that produces 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. Power hits the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission by default, but four-wheel drive and a four-speed automatic gearbox are available. | |
