  • Road Test: Hyundai Santa Fe (2006-)

    IMAGE RATING:

    Hyundai's designers have clearly been studying the opposition. Very closely.

    From the rear, it's a direct rip-off of the Volkswagen Touareg - especially when the circular LED taillamps light up - and there's shades of Q7 up front - the dimensions and side profile are similar, if not the detailing. Debadge it, tart it up with tinted windows and aftermarket alloy wheels, and it could pass for something altogether more expensive, if that's what you're into.

    Even as it is, it looks smart and substantial and shouldn't prove to be a fashion faux pas on the school run - after all, it's trendy to boast that you shop in Primark these days and there's no shame in being a canny bargain-hunter.
