2006 Hyundai Santa Fe Road Test Ratings
EDITORS' RATINGS OVERALL SCORE:
Overall
An above-average rating in function helps the Santa Fe balance the lower driving dynamic numbers and poor rating for the cheap interior materials.
DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS
Dynamics
Competent, but not remakable handling and steering. Engine performance is good.
Comfort
More space than most, ride is reasonably comfortable, but slightly buoyant. Good NVH.
Function
More space than the others, well laid-out controls.
Design/Build Quality
Not a bad first effort in this class, but the seat fabric and plastic graining looks cheaper than others. And don't get us started on the pre-dented styling.
Family Friendly Roomy interior, long list of standard features and good crash test scores.
Economical Transportation Reasonable price with strong warranty.
Off-Road Ready Available all-wheel drive suitable for groomed dirt roads.
