Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander AWD SUV 2021 Review

Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander has been around for a while now and the latest version Highlander we are driving today is definitely the best they have made.

It’s a big seven seat AWD SUV with a heap of luxury, comfort and safety features thrown in for the family.

As soon as you sit inside you appreciate the little things like heated and ventilated front seats as well as heated middle row seats, the large central tablet like screen that makes all the infotainment and connectivity functions easy to operate, the surround camera when you’re parking, large boot area and fold down middle row seats and more.

This model has the 2.2L diesel engine and an eight speed DCT which gives more than enough power for everyday driving. It’s smooth and economical.

One thing that is really noticeable is just how quiet the Santa Fe is inside which means it’s relaxing to drive and have conversations on Bluetooth or just listen to music on the excellent audio system.

Santa Fe is great for family holidays, trips to the snow, weekends away or just the daily school run.

The Highlander diesel Santa Fe is priced from around $65,200 plus the usual costs and its excellent value.
