Say hi to the Hyundai
Hyundai used to be a prime exponent of the 'pile it high and sell it cheap' philosophy. The cars were built down to a price and not particularly sophisticated but they were well screwed together and exceptionally reliable.
The company has retained that essential sturdiness of build but of late has backed it up with slicker designs and this has helped enhance the inherent equity of the badge. When the second generation Hyundai Santa Fe arrived in 2006 it did something very subtle but very smart. It blurred the boundaries between the compact Freelander/RAV4 class and the family Discovery/Shogun segment Santa Fe buyers paid compact sector prices but got the kind of 7-seat capacity they'd previously needed a much larger SUV for.

Not surprisingly, it's a concept that's since been copied by plenty of rivals – including Hyundai's partner Kia whose Sorento's class-leading 2.2-litre diesel engine the Santa Fe shares. The front end's smarter, with its sleeker grille, revised bumper and redesigned lights. Follow the rising waistline to the rear and you'll find that the lamps are tweaked here too, the finishing touch to a shape seemingly more compact than a 7-seater SUV ought to be. Significant issues have yet to surface with this model. When buying, do inspect the underside for evidence of enthusiastic off-roading but damage should be rare as the Santa Fe isn't a vehicle that was marketed as a fully-fledged mud-plugger. The interior plastics don't wear as well as some rivals but the underlying build quality is good. Used buys don't get a whole lot more sensible than this facelifted second generation Hyundai Santa Fe. Recommended.
