Hyundai’s 2018 Santa Fe midsize crossover looks great and offers top-notch safety ratings, proven reliability, a comfortable interior with 3 rows of seating, strong warranty coverage, and a compelling price. It hasn’t been re-designed since 2013, but from a purely practical perspective, our reviewer gives it a perfect 10 for cost-effectiveness. He also wishes it were more fun to drive.
All Santa Fes get a 3.6-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed automatic, with three trim levels available with front-wheel-drive or a $1,750 upgrade to all-wheel-drive. That engine produces 290 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque; FWD base trims are rated at 18 mpg city, 25 highway, 21 combined, while the Limited Ultimate with AWD gets rated at 17, 22, 19. The BlueLink infotainment system works well, supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and lets parents set speed, curfew, and geographic boundaries for teen drivers. And for 2018, Santa Fe buyers will get 3 free years of trial BlueLink service, rather than one. Read more on CarGurus: https://cargur.us/lx6HB
