The latest is the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, now fitted with an amazing new 2.2 litre chain cam diesel that pumps out 194bhp and 422Nm torque, while also offering up to 41.5mpg and down to 176g/km CO2. Both manual and automatic are now 6-speed, prices start at £21,495, towing weight of the manual is 2,500kg and it comes with a 5-year warranty. (The 6-speed auto does 39.2mpg, puts out 197g/km and can tow 2,000kg.)

Relaxed motorway cruising. Comfortable ride. Excellent on very rough tracks. Available with seven seats. Good value. Much improved from 2010 with new 2.2-litre diesel.
