Expert Analysis

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

7.0

Good

3.5 / 5

The 2026 Santa Fe GLS petrol delivers class-leading power (277 bhp, 422 Nm) and premium features, making it the quickest option here. AWD and dual-clutch transmission suit mountain driving, while Hyundai's service reach adds peace of mind. However, 177 mm ground clearance falls short of the Crosstrek and RAV4 for broken roads, and 11 kmpl efficiency means petrol bills add up quickly. Safety tech is strong with expected 5-star NCAP, and the cabin is well-equipped. At Rs 1.69 Cr, it trades hybrid frugality for raw performance.

Choose this if you prioritise petrol power and Hyundai's dealer network over ground clearance and fuel economy.

  • Highway performance enthusiasts
  • Buyers wanting petrol punch with AWD
