Car Profiles - Hyundai Grand Santa Fe

HYUNDAI GRAND SANTA FE

Essentially the replacement for the slow selling Veracruz and a stretched Santa Fe, this one aims to take on the upper scale of the market. This Korean has a roomy cabin for six people plus the performance afforded by its diesel engine.

The Good: Luxurious appointments inside a roomy cabin
The Bad: Pricey

Price Range: P2,498,000
Our Rating: ****
