| RUNNING COSTS RATING: |
 |
It's cheap to buy and cheap to run, especially if you opt for the 32.2mpg diesel. Emitting 193 g/km of carbon dioxide, it's also more tax-effective than the petrol version, especially if you're running it as a company car. The 2.7 V6 returns just 22.2mpg - and that's the optimistic laboratory-conditions estimate: we'd suspect you'd be lucky to see 20mpg in real-life driving, especially if you like to put your right foot down - and shudder to think how much it'd drink if you were towing. It emits 252g/km of carbon dioxide, too.
Just to underline that the diesel's the one to go for (in case you hadn't got the message yet), this'll hold its value much better than the 2.7 V6, too. Both versions, though, should hold their value better than the previous Santa Fe, with its oddball styling and rather limited abilities, though at least with small numbers available second-hand, prices for this have remained reasonably firm.
