Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid review: Big, bold, clever, but not quite brilliant

The Hyundai Santa Fe has gone upmarket with a bold look and big prices - (Steve Fowler)

Hyundai’s Santa Fe has been a familiar name on UK roads for over 20 years, but the latest version moves things on in more ways than one. This fifth-generation model is bigger, bolder, and far more upmarket – aimed squarely at families who want the style of a premium SUV, but the running costs and tax perks of a plug-in hybrid.

On paper, it ticks a lot of boxes. Seven usable seats? Check. A boot big enough for two labradors and a week’s shopping? Tick. Tech that wouldn’t be out of place in a high-end German SUV? Yep, that too.
