Reviews SummaryAmong 3-row, 7-passenger crossover SUVs, the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe is somewhat of a wallflower. It doesn’t help that it has been half a decade since the Santa Fe was last redesigned. Do not, however, let its age convince you not to consider it, because the Santa Fe is one of the safest SUVs you can buy and a raging bargain in its segment. | |
Reviews SummaryEquipped with good looks, a comfortable interior, a roomy cargo area, and an affordable price, the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport easily deserves your consideration. Then, you realize how safe it is, how technologically advanced it is, how quick it is, how it is built in the good old U.S.A., and how Hyundai virtually guarantees that it won’t break anytime soon, and you start to want one. What’s that? You need a third-row seat and more cargo space? Hyundai has a solution for that. | |
