Entering its fourth generation, Hyundai’s seven-seat large SUV is bigger, broader, bolder, more upmarket and, at first glance and arguably for the first time in almost two decades, seems to really fit the built-with-America-top-of-mind ‘Santa Fe’ moniker – a name the South Korean car giant appropriated for its first SUV way back in 2000.
This sees the Santa Fe size up in overall terms a little more evenly with key rivals such as Toyota’s Kluger and Mazda’s CX-9, both of which have a strong following in Australia.
