2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Test Drive Review summaryImage

Hyundai continues building momentum with the redesigned 2007 Santa Fe, a genuinely attractive and roomy midsize crossover SUV.

Hyundai 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.
9/10

As demonstrated by last year’s redesign of the Sonata midsize sedan, Hyundai is getting the hang of styling its vehicles for broad appeal. The new 2007 Santa Fe is good looking from every angle, with pleasing proportions and appealing details. The chunky-spoke 18-inch wheels that come with SE and Limited trim really help in the looks department, too.

Inside, a similar transformation dramatically upgrades the Santa Fe’s sophistication levels. From the organized control layout and tight panel seams to the clarity of the gauges and quality of materials, the redesigned Santa Fe looks and feels terrific—and especially when compared with the vehicle it replaces.

I loked at 11 Santa Fes & Kia Sorentos. They all had things that concerned me, price, miles or problems I could see. This one was the only one, that had everything I was looking for, and was in good condition with decent miles. I have owned a Kia & 2 Hyundai s previously, so I knew what I wanted. Aug 24, 2022
