Hyundai Santa Fe - 2007 SUV of the Year: Our unanimous choice for midsize SUV was also our run-away winner for SUV of the Year, and it makes clear sense: it's not often when a vehicle comes around that's almost flawless. From the grown up new design to the near-luxury interior with room for seven - and the cool blue-lit cupholders - the Santa Fe is an excellent purchase. On the road, its character is smooth, nimble, efficient and powerful. Sure, you can find SUVs that tow more. Or climb bigger rocks. The 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe does best what today's SUVs need to do most: haul people, their stuff and do it all with a superbly efficient style.
