2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Turbo

The Santa Fe Sport is Hyundai's compact two-row SUV, the one you'd cross-shop with the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V. It feels lighter and more eager than its size suggests, with steering that's quick and direct. The ride is on the firm side, which keeps body roll in check but you'll feel sharp bumps. Inside, the cabin is roomy for four adults, and the rear seats fold flat to open up a generous cargo area. The 2.0L I4 makes 264 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which gives it confident passing power and sure-footed traction in rain or snow.
