As the diesel era draws to a close, but at a time when the EV era isn't quite mature, the appeal of Plug-in Hybrid tech has never been stronger. And it makes particular sense in a spacious family SUV of this kind, provided the manufacturer concerned can build it in while keeping a seven-seat format, as Hyundai has here.
We liked the previous fourth generation Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid too, but it was lacking quite a lot in pavement presence, something the Korean maker's been bold in rectifying here. Not everyone will like the end result but if you do, you might really want one. Should that be the case, the extra for this PHEV variant could be money well spent.
