I drove Hyundai's rugged new $40,000 family SUV. It's packed with useful tech but rough around the edges

• The Hyundai Santa Fe is a three-row mid-size family SUV that's all-new 2024.
• I enjoyed its rugged looks, strong tech content, and functional interior. 
• I was disappointed by its laggy power delivery, excessive road noise, and intrusive safety tech.

Hyundai's lineup of crossovers and SUVs is pretty extensive these days, running from the subcompact Venue and Kona at the bottom to the range-topping Palisade, with the top-selling Tuscon sitting squarely in the middle.

But that's not all.
