Unlike many family SUVs that blend into everyday traffic, the Santa Fe immediately grabs attention with its distinctive exterior and modern interior layout. In this video review, the focus is on how Hyundai\u2019s seven-seat SUV balances striking design with practicality, offering three rows of seating, generous technology, and plenty of family-friendly features. With model grades ranging from the base Santa Fe to the mid-spec Elite and range-topping Calligraphy, buyers get a wide range of options depending on their budget and preferred level of luxury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond its looks, the Santa Fe proves to be a well-rounded family SUV. Hyundai offers a choice between a punchy 2.5-litre turbo petrol engine and a fuel-efficient 1.6-litre hybrid system, giving drivers the option of stronger performance or better economy. The interior is spacious and thoughtfully designed, with clever storage solutions, supportive seating, and easy access to the third row for passengers. On the road, the Santa Fe delivers a comfortable and composed driving experience with smooth suspension, quiet cabin manners, and responsive steering. While it isn\u2019t built for hardcore off-roading, it excels in everyday driving, making it a compelling alternative to rivals like the Toyota Kluger, Mazda CX-90, and Kia Sorento.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Key Highlights<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bold and distinctive design that stands out among large SUVs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three rows of seating for up to seven passengers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choice of 2.5L turbo petrol or efficient 1.6L hybrid powertrain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packed with safety features including 360\u00b0 camera and driver assists<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clever interior storage and family-friendly practicality<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smooth, comfortable driving experience suited for daily use<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Watch the Full Video Review<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See the Santa Fe in action and get a closer look at its design, features, and driving performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Review: Bigger, Bolder\u2026 But Is It the Best Family SUV Yet?\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cbyTH1cfnHU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/hyundai-santa_fe\">Hyundai Santa Fe<\/a> delivers more than just eye-catching design.
