santa fe highlander review

If you want a family bus that feels a bit posh without maxing the credit card, the Santa Fe Highlander is your jam.

As the top-spec, it bundles plush seats, heaps of active safety, and the sort of quiet, grown-up ride that calms back-seat snack-throwers.

The diesel is the pick for effortless shove and sensible economy, while the petrol will do the job if you mainly schlep around town.

Third row? Fine for kids, less peachy for tall adults, and boot space shrinks when all seven seats are up.

Infotainment and cabin trim feel premium for the price, though servicing and tyres can sting a bit on a heavy seven-seater.

Overall, it’s a confident, comfy all-rounder—check Tradingpost for examples that’ve already taken the depreciation hit.
