Reviews SummaryMore than twenty years ago Hyundai gave us its first SUV. Called the Santa Fe, the popular crossover has gone through four generations, all leading up to this design departure that makes this latest model the boldest-looking version yet. Even if you’re not sold on the exterior design, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe has plenty to recommend it. Its longer wheelbase means the mid-size crossover has more interior space and Hyundai has added myriad features that just make sense in a family vehicle of this size. There are others that might offer up a bit more cargo space, but those who are looking for stand-out styling on the road should take a serious look at this blocky crossover. Verdict: The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is a mid-size crossover that fashionable families will love. However, those with more traditional tastes might find it all a bit too much. | |
Reviews SummaryIn order to carve a niche for its Sedona model, Kia marries SUV design cues with the utility and practicality of a minivan. Then, for extra measure, the top-of-the-line SXL model gets the materials and features of a luxury car. Blend these attributes with top-notch safety ratings, and the 2016 Kia Sedona might just be the best minivan available. | |
