Motor Minute: Hyundai Santa Fe Review

Loading player...
Deon makes a bold claim this week – if you're looking at a Land Rover Defender, you need to test drive the Hyundai Santa Fe first. Yes, a Hyundai.

What you'll discover:
• Why Deon rates this Hyundai above a Land Rover Defender
• The fifth-generation Santa Fe's hybrid electric performance
• Real-world results from Deon's Midlands road trip
•Tech and comfort features that rival premium brands
• The price comparison that changes everything
