Expert Analysis

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

7.0

Good

3.5 / 5

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe GL Diesel delivers 277 bhp and 422 Nm, making it the most powerful SUV in the Rs. 1.66 crore segment. Its 8-speed DCT and AWD suit Nepal's terrain, while 177 mm clearance handles broken roads better than sedans but lags true off-roaders. Hyundai's strong Nepal service network and expected 5-star NCAP rating add confidence. However, the price undercuts value against hybrid peers, and diesel fuel costs remain higher than electricity.

Buy if you want the strongest petrol engine and Hyundai's service peace of mind, but hybrids offer better running economy.

  • Power-focused buyers who prioritise acceleration
