The Hyundai Santa Fe has been a consistent performer in the Australian SUV market, and the 2015 Highlander Diesel builds on that foundation with additional features designed to maintain its appeal. The Highlander sits at the top of the Santa Fe range, and the diesel engine adds an efficiency advantage over the petrol alternatives.
In a segment where seven-seat capability and everyday practicality matter, the Santa Fe Highlander Diesel remains a strong contender. It competes with the Toyota Kluger, Nissan Pathfinder and Ford Territory for buyers who prioritise interior space and a comprehensive feature list.
Hyundai has done a good job of keeping the Santa Fe competitive through regular updates rather than wholesale changes. The 2015 Highlander Diesel is a case of a brand refining what already works, and for buyers already loyal to the nameplate, the updates make a strong car a little better.
