Hyundai Santa Fe

The Hyundai Santa Fe is a popular large SUV featuring seven seats. The current facelifted model, launched locally in 2021, is the fifth generation, and brought a level of technical sophistication, on-road refinement and overall premium feel the company had not previously achieved.

The Santa Fe range spans four trim grades each offered with the choice of 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel power (driving all four wheels) or 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine, which drives the front wheels only.

About the Hyundai Santa Fe

The Hyundai Santa Fe is a popular large SUV featuring seven seats.

The current model, launched locally in 2021, is the fifth generation, and brought a level of technical sophistication, on-road refinement and overall premium feel the company had not previously achieved.

The Santa Fe range spans four trim grades each offered with the choice of 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel power (driving all four wheels) or 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine, which drives the front wheels only.

The diesel engine is mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, rather than the eight-speed torque-convertor automatic used in the petrol variant.

Dimensionally the Santa Fe is only slightly smaller than the range-topping Palisade, so still delivers generous interior space.

An update for MY22 brought the addition of a front centre airbag, a multi-collision braking system (which applies the brakes after the airbag deploys to avoid a secondary collision) along with equipment upgrades to all models.

The large SUV category is home to the likes of the Toyota Kluger, so the Hyundai Santa Fe has strong opposition in terms of Australian brand knowledge, but provides opposition to the Mazda CX-9 and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport in terms of sales.
