Car Profiles - Hyundai Santa Fe

HYUNDAI SANTA FE

This Hyundai can keep up with the big names in the category but with one consequence, a very expensive price tag. Lots of features available including a standard manual transmission, cooling glove box, panoramic sunroof, among others. Still, never doubt the skills of this car. Top of the line model discontinued so if you want AWD, go for the larger Grand Santa Fe.

The Good: Spacious cabin
The Bad: Tight third row

Price Range: P1,568,000-P1,768,000
Our Rating: ****
