The Hyundai Grand Santa Fe boasts refreshed front and rear styling for 2017 that’s highlighted by bright new LED daytime running lights. Other desirable features include 19″ alloy wheels, a rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control and, on the higher specification models, a large panoramic roof and a hands-free power tailgate. By the way, you don’t need to balance on one leg as you approach burdened with your shopping bags while you waggle your other foot under the car; just stand by the smart tailgate for a couple of seconds and – hey presto – it opens for you.

Buyers looking for the latest high-tech and safety features won’t be disappointed: blind spot detection, especially useful with a large vehicle, stability and traction control, smart cruise control, three different drive modes, front and rear parking assist, are just some of the high class technologies that Hyundai is able to package in the Grand Santa Fe with a very competitive price, often the envy of other brands. In truth, the addition of small but extremely useful features like push-button start, outside mirrors with automatic power folding, these same mirrors with courtesy lights, front and rear air conditioning, provision of ample cubby holes, storage and electronic connectivity, all combine to give the firm impression that you have bought a vehicle that belongs in a higher class than you would expect for the price that you paid.

The 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe has a powerful 3.3 litre V6 engine that produces muscular, yet quiet, pulling power. The six-speed automatic transmission is silky smooth, the driving position and visibility is great, the seat is luxurious and the large steering wheel has plenty of controls but is light to use. The disc brakes are powerful yet very smooth. All the above, by intelligent design, help to make your driving easier and safer, and you and your passengers less stressed.
