Why the Hyundai Santa Fe is a CarExpert Choice winner
Inside its boxy exterior there's a refined, high-quality and high-tech three-row interior that's just as unique and sets a new standard for a mainstream large SUV in terms of presentation and accommodation.
Compared to its Kia Sorento sister model, which is still good enough to be a finalist in this segment (the five-seat Subaru Outback is our other finalist for this award) even if the fourth generation is now five years old, the Santa Fe offers better second- and third-row space and amenity.

The latest Santa Fe also provides great outward visibility from all seats, a larger cargo area accessed via a lower loading lip, and outstanding ride comfort without compromising its exemplary dynamics (for a large SUV).
There's also a long list of standard safety and multimedia technology even from base level, with the cheapest front-wheel drive variant powered by a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and fitted with everything a growing family would need for $53,000 before on-road costs.
In all there are eight variants, three equipment grades and two powertrain options including an efficient 1.6-litre hybrid that's also available in front- and all-wheel drive form.
And the flagship Calligraphy AWD hybrid, which tops the range at $76,500 in seven-seat form and $77,000 in six-seat guise with a pair of second-row captain's chairs (both plus on-roads), not only looks and feels more like a Range Rover inside its luxurious cabin but also comes with all of Hyundai's premium features, including huge and responsive infotainment and instrument cluster screens, a head-up display, and twin wireless phone chargers.
There's also cavernous storage capacity including two glove boxes, a huge twin-hinged lidded centre console box that can be accessed from the front and rear, and no fewer than 16 cupholders!
The Santa Fe is no ladder-frame rock-hopper (which is why we have a separate award for best off-road SUVs like the Ford Everest and Toyota Prado), but also making it an excellent large SUV for adventurous families are XRT option packages that give it a decent boost in all-terrain capability.
All this is backed by attractive aftersales propositions including relatively low running and service costs, and a generous warranty.
"Look, you're either going to love or hate the styling. But even if you hate it, consider just how practical that boxy body makes the Santa Fe," said CarExpert news editor William Stopford.
"The old Santa Fe was already such a good thing, I was wondering how Hyundai could improve on it. Well, they have – this is a terrifically packaged, well-appointed crossover SUV loaded with tech, featuring competitive petrol and hybrid powertrains, and wrapped in distinctive styling."
CarExpert marketplace editor James Wong agreed.
"The trusty Santa Fe went through a massive metamorphosis in this latest generation, and while its looks are polarising its excellent packaging and luxurious level of features and tech are outstanding," he said.
"There's the option of both a generally efficient hybrid or a torquey turbo-petrol drivetrain, and the Santa Fe offers heaps of configurations and personalisation options for discerning Australian families that want to stand out without breaking the bank."
CarExpert journalist Max Davies said: "The quirky-looking Santa Fe remains a reliable option in Australia's large SUV market, offering a broad range of standard equipment, sturdy build quality, and a compliant ride at affordable prices.
"You now also have the benefit of either hybrid or petrol powertrains, which means there should be something in the range to suit all budgets and lifestyles."

2025 Volkswagen Tayron prices: Kia Sorento rival starts from under $50,000
The Volkswagen Tayron, a larger sibling to the new-generation Tiguan mid-size SUV that's available with a third row of seating, will start at $48,290 before on-road costs when it arrives here in September. That price is for the 110TSI Life, which costs $4300 more than the entry-level 110TSI Life version of the Tiguan Allspace it will replace. The front-wheel drive 110TSI Life is powered by a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. While it's significantly more expensive than the equivalent Tiguan Allspace, the entry-level Tayron upgrades from an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen to a larger 12.9-inch unit, while its transmission gets another gear, and there are additional features like a surround-view camera fitted as standard. Compared to the entry-level Tiguan 110TSI Life, the Tayron is $3300 more expensive. Stepping up to the 150TSI variants – the $53,990 plus on-roads Life, and $59,490 plus on-roads Elegance – gets you all-wheel drive and a more powerful 150kW 2.0-litre turbo four. Unusually, like the Tiguan, the 150TSI Life is a five-seater, while all other Tayrons feature seven seats. Topping the range is the all-wheel drive 195TSI R-Line at $73,490 before on-road costs, or $3000 more than the Tiguan 195TSI R-Line. It also comes with 2.0-litre turbo four, but this time with outputs of 195kW and 400Nm. All Tayrons come standard with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. While the base engine has the same outputs as in the outgoing Tiguan Allspace, the other engines boast more power. The 150TSI produces 18kW more power than the old Tiguan Allspace 132TSI, while the 190TSI produces 28kW and 50Nm more than the old 162TSI. The Tayron is based on the German automaker's MQB Evo platform and measures 4792mm – 64mm longer than the Tiguan Allspace it replaces – with luggage space expanding by 115 litres to 345L (measured to the top of the rear backrests). This expands to 850L in seven-seat versions with the rear seat folded, and an even larger 885L in the five-seat 150TSI Life. Six exterior paint colours will be offered from launch: Pure White, Oyster Silver Metallic, Dolphin Grey Metallic, Night Shade Blue Metallic, Grenadilla Black Metallic, and Ultra Violet Premium are the features Volkswagen Australia has detailed so far for the new Tayron range. The 110TSI Life comes standard with the following equipment: 18-inch alloy wheels Proximity entry Power tailgate Digital Cockpit Pro digital instrument cluster 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system Satellite navigation Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto DAB+ digital radio Wireless phone charger Park Assist Plus semi-autonomous parking Autonomous emergency braking Blind-spot monitoring Traffic sign recognition Front cross-traffic alert Rear cross-traffic alert Safe exit warning Surround-view camera Travel Assist The 150TSI Life adds: 4Motion all-wheel drive Adaptive chassis control (DCC Pro) Chrome roof rails and trim Rear privacy glass LED Plus headlights with illuminated light bar LED tail-lights with illuminated light bar The 150TSI Elegance adds: 19-inch alloy wheels Leather-appointed upholstery ergoActive front seats LED Plus headlights with illuminated centre strip LED Plus tail-lights with illuminated centre strip 15-inch Discover Pro Max infotainment system The 195TSI R-Line adds: 20-inch alloy wheels R-Line body kit R-Line interior Progressive steering Head-up display Harman/Kardon sound system HD Matrix LED headlights with adaptive high beam LED Plus tail-lights with dynamic indicators 15-inch Discover Pro Max infotainment system Optional on the 150TSI Elegance and 195TSI R-Line is: • Panoramic roof Optional on the 150TSI Elegance is: Sound & Vision package Optional on the 195TSI R-Line is: Black Style package Pricing

While it's significantly more expensive than the equivalent Tiguan Allspace, the entry-level Tayron upgrades from an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen to a larger 12.9-inch unit, while its transmission gets another gear, and there are additional features like a surround-view camera fitted as standard. Compared to the entry-level Tiguan 110TSI Life, the Tayron is $3300 more expensive. Stepping up to the 150TSI variants – the $53,990 plus on-roads Life, and $59,490 plus on-roads Elegance – gets you all-wheel drive and a more powerful 150kW 2.0-litre turbo four. Unusually, like the Tiguan, the 150TSI Life is a five-seater, while all other Tayrons feature seven seats. Topping the range is the all-wheel drive 195TSI R-Line at $73,490 before on-road costs, or $3000 more than the Tiguan 195TSI R-Line. It also comes with 2.0-litre turbo four, but this time with outputs of 195kW and 400Nm. All Tayrons come standard with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. While the base engine has the same outputs as in the outgoing Tiguan Allspace, the other engines boast more power. The 150TSI produces 18kW more power than the old Tiguan Allspace 132TSI, while the 190TSI produces 28kW and 50Nm more than the old 162TSI. The Tayron is based on the German automaker's MQB Evo platform and measures 4792mm – 64mm longer than the Tiguan Allspace it replaces – with luggage space expanding by 115 litres to 345L (measured to the top of the rear backrests). This expands to 850L in seven-seat versions with the rear seat folded, and an even larger 885L in the five-seat 150TSI Life.
