Car review

Hyundai Santa Fe

The Hyundai Santa Fe offers up to three rows of seats, providing ample space for all occupants. The middle row can be adjusted to allocate room accordingly. Each passenger has access to their own USB socket and two cupholders. In the rear, there is a mains-voltage socket, air vents with individual flow control, and a moderate amount of space behind the third row. The boot opening is exceptionally wide, making it a standout feature of the car.

Additionally, the Santa Fe is designed with practicality in mind, featuring a panel on the exterior upper flank that functions as a grab handle for accessing the roof rack.

While emphasizing utility, the Santa Fe also offers a touch of class and ambience. The perceived material quality is generally good, with various metal-like finishes and a bamboo-like trim option. The interior design includes a curved instrument binnacle and touchscreen within easy reach of the driver, complemented by separate buttons for key driving controls and climate management.

Furthermore, there is ample storage space in the front, including a deep central cubby. However, some may find the center armrest positioned a bit far back for optimal comfort.

Review of the 2023 Kia Telluride X-Pro: A Midsize SUV with Luxurious Ruggedness

The space in the Kia Telluride is good across all three rows. The second-row captain’s chairs are equipped with ventilation, which is a nice touch. They are just as comfortable as the first-row seats and can slide forward and backward. There are buttons on the side to make accessing the third row easier. If you prefer a second-row bench, you’ll have to go for the lower Telluride trims, as it is not available in the X-Pro.

In the third row, there is enough space for at least two adults or three children, although it does compromise the legroom in the second row. Even with all three rows up, there is still an impressive 21 cubic feet of cargo space. However, if you need more space, you can easily fold down the second and third rows using the buttons and cords provided, expanding the trunk to 46 cubic feet or a maximum of 87 cubic feet.

The infotainment system in the Telluride is comprehensive, allowing you to access features like Driver Talk, which transmits the driver’s voice through the rear cabin speakers for effective communication. However, it only supports wired connections for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, not wireless. Kia has included physical controls for the HVAC and multimedia functions, as well as additional controls in the center console for drive modes and other drivetrain settings. One feature I appreciate is Kia’s Auto Hold, which remains active even after restarting the SUV, unlike many other competitors’ systems.
