In case you haven’t heard, Hyundai is finally ready for prime time, and we’re not talking the UPN network. The Korean automaker’s entire lineup is worthy of consideration, from the bargain-basement Accent to the luxurious flagship Azera. And now there’s a new, larger, stylish Santa Fe coming soon. The 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe is based on the capable Sonata platform, equipped with a four-cylinder or a V6, and able to hold up to seven passengers. It slides up into the midsize CUV category to battle the new Ford Edge and take on segment stalwarts like the Nissan Murano and Toyota Highlander, leaving the smaller Tucson to appeal to people looking to spend less on a smaller SUV. Good looking, and equipped with a stylish interior constructed of quality materials, upon first inspection the new Hyundai Santa Fe looks like a winner.
