The days when Korean cars could be glibly dismissed as cheap and cheerful are long gone. Both Hyundai and Kia, their kissing cousins, are now so close to the mainstream makes that the gap is imperceptible to most people.

Hyundai i30 – Review
New Hyundai Santa Fe details announced
Hyundai has announced pricing and specification details of the new Santa Fe off-roader, which will start at £25,495 The Santa Fe will be the only Hyundai that has a name rather than the new i numbering system – i10, i20, etc. Hyundai feels that Santa Fe is such a strong brand, it would be a waste to throw it away.
The new Santa Fe will be powered by an uprated version of the familiar 2.2-litre CRDi engine which develops 194 bhp and 311lb ft of torque. The 2WD version returns 47.9mpg on the combined cycle and emissions fall below the benchmark 160g/km level for the first time (155g/km) making it much more appealing for company car buyers. The 4WD manual Santa Fe also falls below the benchmark figure, with a combined fuel consumption figure of 46.3mpg and 159g/km. The automatic model delivers 41.5mpg and 178g/km.
