Author: Gary WhiteHyundai provides a range of kerbweights for the Santa Fe, which varies based on factors such as the gearbox, whether the car is two- or four-wheel drive, and its specifications. For instance, the stated kerbweight for a 4×4 auto ranges from 1895-2020kg. With the lower weight as a starting point, the 85% match figure amounts to 1611kg, which is safely within the legal maximum of 2000kg (or 2500kg for manual cars).
During a extended tow test, the Santa Fe was paired with a Swift Expression 636, which has a MiRO of 1485kg. The Hyundai SUV proved to be an excellent tow car, exhibiting a natural aptitude for the task. The engine is confident and composed while accelerating up to speed, even at the legal limit. The car and caravan combination displayed minimal movement while towing, even in challenging scenarios such as crosswinds or when overtaking large vehicles. On country roads with lumpy surfaces, the well-judged suspension kept the car and caravan stable, without too much float or wallow.

The engine also exhibited excellent heavy-duty towing capabilities. With ample pulling power, the Santa Fe tackled steep slopes with ease, leaving many other tow cars struggling. However, the gearbox could have been more responsive, particularly when overtaking, as it sometimes hesitated when shifting to a lower gear. Thanks to its electronic parking brake, hill starts were straightforward, and the four-wheel drive system ensured a smooth ride on wet roads. The car was easy to manoeuvre at the destination, with the rear-view camera compensating for the limited over-shoulder visibility caused by the thick rear pillars.
While the detachable towball had plenty of clearance, the 13-pin electrics sat very close to the bumper, slightly obstructing the attachment process. Nonetheless, these minor concerns do not detract from the Santa Fe's excellent towing credentials. The Premium SE models feature an advanced surround-view system that uses multiple cameras to provide a 360° plan view of the car and its surroundings.

Hyundai Santa Fe Towing Review
When it comes to towing, the Hyundai Santa Fe doesn't disappoint. Its powerful engine and stable high-speed performance make it an ideal choice for a tow car. While the automatic gearbox could be more responsive, the Santa Fe's mid-range pulling power enables it to accelerate strongly.
Hill starts are a breeze, and the smooth automatic gearbox makes it easy to maneuver at low speeds. Plus, the car's weight makes it a sensible match for most caravans, and its sophisticated four-wheel drive system ensures that it can handle all driving conditions.
Not only is the Santa Fe an excellent tow car, but it's also a pleasure to drive on a daily basis. The suspension keeps the car well-controlled when driven enthusiastically, without sacrificing ride comfort. While there is some road noise, the car remains refined and quiet at speed, making it perfect for long journeys.
Furthermore, the Santa Fe is a practical car with plenty of space for up to seven passengers, along with underfloor storage for the parcel shelf and a variety of useful power sockets. Although the price is relatively high compared to other SUVs like the Škoda Kodiaq, the Santa Fe is loaded with features and is much heavier, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to spend around £40,000 on a top-of-the-line SUV for towing.
