Driving Impressions

The Santa Fe is one of the friendliest and easiest of the smaller SUVs to drive, and it handles adeptly and performs admirably. Its bulging fenders, which are uncommon on SUVs, actually make a difference in judging the vehicle’s position. This SUV is appropriately spacious, and it runs quietly. It also delivers an appealing ride.
