The redesigned Santa Fe really hit one out of the park a few years ago, with its choice of engines, options and five- or seven-seat configurations. Entering 2010, not much has changed for the mid-sized SUV. It still features either a 185-hp 2.7-litre V6 or a 242-hp 3.3-litre V6, with four- and five-speed automatic transmissions. The Santa Fe comes in either front- or all-wheel drive, and provides a great ride for all passengers. Cargo area is limited when the third row is in use.

Pros

Great value, good performance

Cons

Some cheap materials
