G70

Santa Fe

What is good

  • The boxy design gives ample interior and cargo space through the 3rd row, and choosing the hybrid gives good fuel economy for a mid-size SUV.

What could be better

  • Upper hybrid AWD trims exceed ₩50,000,000, and 3rd-row space is too tight for adults on long trips.
