By KBB.com Editors
You'll Like This Car If...

If you know how to pinch a penny, you'll appreciate all the good features Hyundai puts into the 2012 Santa Fe while keeping it one of the most affordable compact SUVs.

You May Not Like This Car If...

If you need the added utility of a third-row seat, eliminate the 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe from your shopping list. Also, those looking for newer or more edgy styling should look to the Chevy Equinox or t

How it Drives

For such a tall vehicle, the 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV delivers a smooth and confident ride, with minimal lean and roll during hard cornering. Even when pushed into emergency like maneuvers, the standard (and government-mandated) electronic stability control kicks in to keep things from getting ugly on wet or slippery pavement.

"I just purchased a NEW 2012 Limited from a local dealer at a fantastic price! I love this car. It looks great and is a pleasure drive. Around town mileage is in the 22-24 mpg range so far. I drove several of competitors in the class (including top-ranked Equinox and Mazda CX-5). Far as I'm concerned, nothing else compared to this - GREAT VALUE! And I hear the 2013 is quite an improvement over the 2012..."

Overall, very good. Better than previous cars.

"Love the look, style; family loves it too. BAD gas mileage though it's what was est. No highway, 99% city driving. VERY EXPENSIVE regular ckups: 30,000 mi. = $560.!!! Handles great at all times. Cruise control on wheel NOT good; goes on often when thumb accidentally touches button."
