Like a fine wine, this popular Korean SUV keeps getting better with age, writes Bruce Fraser.

Over the past 12 months, Hyundai’s push into the SUV segment has been considerable.

The Tucson, on the other hand, has been around since 2004 and has always firmly planted itself as a family mover. But if it's space you really crave, then perhaps the brand’s flagship Santa Fe is the vehicle you should be looking at. By that he is referring to a relatively wide stance, cascading grille, full LED headlights, sleek roofline and a choice of three wheel designs.

Under the skin, there is a mixture of the “same old” and new technology. The new eight-speed auto box is smooth-shifting and there are few complaints in that department. All derivatives of the Santa Fe also come with a comprehensive list of safety features such as ABS, ESP, hill assist and six airbags. The Elite model benefits from front and rear park assist. It all adds up to a five-star certification in the Euro NCAP crash test. The ride provided by the Santa Fe is perfectly acceptable.
