The HYUNDAI SANTA FE (2006-10) 5DR SUV 2.2 CRTD GSI 7-SEAT AUTO5 is a sizeable family SUV in the used-car market, offering seven seats and an automatic gearbox. It sits among practical alternatives to larger people-carriers, with a higher driving position and more rugged styling than a conventional family car. The diesel engine and roomy cabin suit family trips, school runs and carrying everyday passengers, while the third row helps when extra seats matter. GSi equipment and automatic transmission add convenience, though buyers should budget for fuel and upkeep of an older, larger SUV. mycarcheck.com has recorded just three checks, covering three VINs, so the figures are indicative rather than a broad reliability picture. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £1,900, mileage of 131,000 and three previous keepers; average annual mileage was 7,000. Against rivals, its appeal is seven-seat versatility and value, rather than newer-car efficiency or refinement.
