Hyundai’s Terracan is likely a better option if you must go off-road because the Santa Fe isn’t built to handle heavy muck. Its 4×4 system is permanent and does not have diff locks or high and low ratios. Nevertheless, it can handle the occasional point-to-point parking lot, and you won’t need to buy or carry unnecessary hardware.
Don’t expect a fast drive, but you get a lot of car for your money. It serves as an excellent workhorse for family activities.
