been tapered and there’s an attractive new design to the rear bumpers. As is the norm with most vehicle upgrades the new Santa Fe is larger than its predecessor, most noticeably in its overall length (+70mm) and wheelbase (+65mm). Only the different alloy wheel sizes distinguish the three Santa Fe variants from each other: 17-inch on the Active, 18-inch on the Elite and 19-inch on the Highlander. All come with full-size spares. A panoramic sunroof is standard with Highlander. INTERIOR Inside, the new Santa Fe has been given a quality boost and, especially in the flagship Highlander, that gives it a level of refinement that’s not far short of the much

Active has the added comfort of cloth seats while Elite and Highlander have double-stitched leather in either Black, Dark Beige or Burgundy colours together with carbon-fibre wood or stone door and dash inserts and LED lighting to present a new level of sophistication. Luggage space is 130 litres behind the third row seats, expanding to 547 litres with the second row seatbacks down and up to an impressive 1625 litres with both rear rows folded. There’s also storage under the boot floor to keep items away from prying eyes and powered tailgate operation in Elite and Highlander.
