Hyundai Santa Fe is only a little smaller than a
Toyota Highlander, but it costs about $6,000 less. Judging from Hyundai's performance in J.D. Power and Associates quality studies, Hyundai's vehicles are right in there in terms of quality and reliability as well. If you're in the market for a suburban SUV, the capable and refined Santa Fe should be included on your shopping list.
