Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV review: big, clever and surprisingly sensible
The plug-in hybrid version gets a 105bhp motor, a 13.8kWh battery and a claimed 34-mile electric range, while prices start near £50,000.
The Hyundai Santa was reviewed on Saturday, highlighting its distinctive exterior design that remains as unusual today as when it first arrived on UK roads.
Prices hover around £50,000, placing the Hyundai Santa in direct competition with premium rivals like Volvo's XC90 and Land Rover's Discovery.
Passengers benefit from a clever interior featuring a double-level centre console, numerous charging points, and a third row of seats that pops up from the flat boot floor.
The plug-in hybrid version pairs a 1.6-litre engine with a battery good for a claimed 34 miles on a charge and manageable MPG.
Driving dynamics remain tidy on a B-road with accurate steering and body roll kept in check, while the five-year warranty adds to overall appeal.
