Expert Analysis

Our verdict, ratings by area, and what stands out.

7.0

Good

3.5 / 5

The Santa Fe GLS Diesel delivers strong performance in the Rs. 1.89 crore segment with 277 bhp outmuscling rivals like the Karoq and Sorento. The 2.5-litre diesel paired with 8-speed DCT and AWD handles hills and wet conditions confidently. However, 177 mm ground clearance lags behind the Outback (220 mm) and RAV4 (215 mm) for broken roads. Comprehensive safety tech and Hyundai's reliable service network add appeal, but the price sits at the band's upper edge despite competitive power.

Choose this if you prioritise strong diesel performance and Hyundai's service reliability over maximum ground clearance.
