Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid: Tow Test + child seat instal | Extensive Review | BestFamilyCars.com.au
Big-family SUVs are going hybrid and Hyundai Santa Fe has changed, but is it for better or worse? Has one of the best affordable-luxury 7-seaters gone soft on towing and hauling? Is all-wheel drive, a big boot and a full-size spare enough in 2024?
Can it accommodate your family, or does it fall short? Let's find out...

Why large 7-seat SUVs are good: not great feat. Kia Sorento | Scott Murray BestFamilyCars.com.au
มุมมอง 2157 หลายเดือนก่อน
Big 7-seat SUVs make sense in Australia because they serve multiple roles. They're great for putting lots of bums on seats (even the unexpected ones), or they serve as oversize haulers for adventurous families who like to get away on weekends and school holidays. Or they can just handle general running around with ease. But they can't do all of these things in a full-time capacity. In this repo...

    The lane keeping system is off by default when the vehicle is new. Either the dealer or someone else who drives the vehicle obviously turned it on in the settings. Just spend 5 minutes on the manual and figure out how to turn it and other nannies off. The vehicle manufacturers will not remove a feature because you don't like it. It saves lives when drivers fall asleep at the wheel, such as in long overnight drives.

    In the US, we also have the option of real full-size three-row SUVs like the GMC Yukon XL and Chevy Suburban. We switched from a Chevy Traverse and Toyota Sienna minivan to the Yukon XL when our four kids were getting bigger because the Yukon XL had more cargo space behind the third row and more space for seating in all the rows. We also opted for captain's chairs in the second row, which allows third row passengers to get to the back without needing to fold any seats. The regular Yukon and Tahoe just don't have much space behind the third row with the seats up, like the Mazda CX-9, etc. Here's our video from 6 years ago when we were looking for the big SUV: th-cam.com/video/WpKKh7cPrjA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=auA8F216rN1yzHOG And from the day we picked up the Yukon XL: th-cam.com/video/nfZ-aKmGTdM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Mw3N8-626q89uNXl&t=536

      It's a significant improvement overall. I didn't talk about fuel consumption because it's a bit irrelevant in the context of diesel work utes. Diesel is 20% more economical than petrol. What matters is how you drive it. If you're a lead foot, you'll use more than a feather foot. Fuel economy is better than a Ranger. Does that help?

      The thing for me, with buying a Ranger, is I don't really think you get much of significance for the extra $10-15K. A power outlet in the tray? Whoopdidoo. Plug into the mains, like every single proper tradie on every building site. What else is there on a Ranger apart from the V6 for seriously heavy daily towing? Triton does 90% of what Ranger can do.
