Reviews SummaryNot too big and not too small, the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T is an attractive, practical, and fun-to-drive crossover SUV that appeals equally to the left and right sides of your brain. While the interior could use a cosmetic overhaul and the thrilling turbocharged engine gets thirsty, the main reason to consider an alternative has to do with safety. Hyundai needs to kick it up a notch in a critical new crash-test evaluation. | |
Reviews SummaryWith options quickly disappearing in the near-luxury large SUV segment, the GMC Yukon XL seems to deliver with a duo of powerful engines, a wealth of seating and storage, and 8,000 pounds of towing capacity. But manufacturing oversights and some competent competition mean you should strongly consider alternatives before making your decision. Before you discount the Yukon entirely, take a look at improvements that have been added to the 2016: a faster processor for its IntelliLink system, Apple CarPlay, and added safety features like lane-keep assist and auto high beams, plus SLT trims and above are now fitted with a hands-free power rear liftgate. | |
