Hyundai Santa Fe 2018
Carsguide Family reviewer Nedahl Stelio had this to say at the time: The Hyundai Santa Fe was a great family car for us this week. It drives really well with enough power for short or long trips, and I was confident driving it. There’s enough space for the whole family and those two extra seats will definitely come in handy when you have visitors. I gave it a family rating of eight out of 10, because I found it a really easy car to drive and fit into my lifestyle. My children gave it an 8.5 - they love that back row.Â

Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Hyundai hasn't told me when my 2018 Santa Fe will be fixed and returned, what can I do?
It sounds to me as though you’ve only talked – at this stage – to your Hyundai dealership. I’d be taking the time to contact Hyundai Australia’s customer service division and asking for a firm timetable of when the work will be carried out and when you can expect to be driving your own car again. There’s always the ACCC to talk to if you don’t get a satisfactory answer, but give Hyundai Australia the chance to make things right. Hyundai is a brand that is very serious about its reputation and sometimes enquiries at dealership level don’t always get straight through to head office.

What's the major difference between a Hyundai Tuscon and Santa Fe?
The key difference is the Tucson is a medium-sized five-seater while the Santa Fe is a large SUV that seats seven. Both have similar equipment levels, safety features, and powertrains. You haven’t told us what your boat weighs, but the Tucson is rated to tow up to 1600 kg (braked trailer) while the Santa Fe will haul up to 2000 kg (braked trailer).

Hyundai Santa Fe 2018: Towing limit?
You’re very close to the limit at 1920 kg, but it is within Hyundai’s maximum for the Santa Fe. That said I would be conservative and try and lighten the load on tow somehow.

Is the Hyundai Santa Fe 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive?
Hyundai's new-gen Santa Fe has just launched in three model trims, all offered in all-wheel-drive in Australia. While other markets could have front wheel drive options, there are no Santa Fe models offered in rear wheel drive.
