  • The Hyundai Santa Fe is a mid-size three-row family SUV that's all-new for 2024.
  • I recently reviewed a well-equipped Santa Fe in the off-road focused XRT trim. 
  • I was impressed by the Santa Fe's rugged looks, useful interior features, and updated tech.

The Hyundai Santa Fe has long served a niche SUV customer: those looking for a stylish midsize SUV without the heft and price tag of a larger three-row vehicle — but with more utility than smaller rivals.

This year, Hyundai gave the Santa Fe a full-on makeover, complete with rugged, angular looks and a standard third-row seat.
