At long last Jenny reviews the all-new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe in the top Highlander trim.
It’s a completely new 7 Seater SUV and it’s better in every respect that the already good outgoing Santa Fe.
The new Santa Fe has two engine options. A 2.4 l petrol with 138 kW of power and 241 Nm of torque is only available on the lowest trim level called Active.
The Santa Fe Elite and top of the range with the Highlander trims have a 2.2 l turbo diesel with 147 kW of power and 440 Nm of torque.
It’s bigger, more modern, packed with safety features and presents more comfort and style than ever seen in a Hyundai.
