Santa Fe

KwackerJack

I cannot find anywhere the mpg of a 2.0 petrol 2 wheel drive Hyundai Santa Fe

Are we the only country to have the 2.0 petr model???

I've tried Parkers, Honest John, car emissions act but to no avail

Im looking at a 03 for my fiancee and although i know there not light on petrol i don't want a tanker behind me either

Used to sell hyundai, the 2.0 petrol santa fe ave's around 20-23 mpg.

Try a search for a Kia Sportage of the same year? Same set-up if I'm not mistaken?

Dad had plenty of them albeit in diesel form on the fleet back in the day. None of them were ever economical as diesels as he used bring them home sometimes. I'd imagine the petrol one's were even worse, and gutless at that too.

Spirit monitor.de might be worth a look OP for real world figures...I'd look somewhere in the middle of those figures though. God knows there's plenty on there not being strictly honest.

Way, way back in 2001 I think it was I used deal with a chap who worked for a crane care company based in Dublin. He used to run his own car and get expenses off his employer. Anyway, he bought a new (ish) Santa Fe diesel, he used to carry nothing out of the way, a few tool boxes etc and he only kept the thing a month or two. He reckoned on the spin Dublin to Cork return he used barely average 30mpg.

He replaced it with a Corolla van, don't know the figures but I imagine he lost a fair bit changing, although back than the Santa Fe was quite a popular van/commercial.

If MPG is a concern why get an SUV?

Yep they went through the older and newer Santa Fe's, overall they were quite reliable and the model from 2006 onwards was a massive step up in quality and everything really but economical they weren't.

Part of me wonders if it was down to the gearbox, they were only a five speed and doing the 120km\h up and down the motorway, she was fair high up the rev range. Great car for carrying stuff though.

There not really an 'SUV' per say. A 2 wheel drive can't really be considered a utility. vehicle never mind sporty.

Anyway my current car is averaging 30 mpg so anything around that is acceptable.

If there only getting 23 mpg ill be better getting a porches boxer and leaving her with the volvo :-P

We struggled to get 30mpg out of our 2007 2.2 4wd auto Santa Fe diesel obviously :eek: the 2005 2.0 diesel done around the same manual though. Couldn't keep diesel in either. If say 23mpg would be the absolute best you'd see out of a petrol.

I had A 98 Discovery 2.5 and I was getting better mileage than that

Those CRDI engine's seem to be pretty thirsty

I drove to a wedding in Achill last year in my wife's Saab petrol. Cost us around 120 quid up and back and I didn't exactly go handy. A couple at our table had a Santa Fe petrol and they reakoned it had cost them nearly all of the eighty euros they put in the tank in Dublin just to get down.

Horrific mpg. I wouldn't mind but they're not even powerful or quick. I had one as a company car years ago. I used to call the accelerator the noise induction pedal cause not much else happened when you pressed it. Lots of space and cheap as chips now but truly painful running costs . Oh and no car on the planet understeers as much.
