All things being equal, we suggest you put the Santa Fe near the top of your midsize crossover test-drive list—regardless of the drivetrain. While Hyundai’s smaller midsize offering is no longer a bargain, it is reasonably priced, and it is frankly excellent by most measures. And if you find the cabin appointments a little too nice, feel free to step down a trim level or two, and save some money on the purchase price.
