Nice review - Agree 100% re lack of diesel for both towing capacity, torque and longevity over 225k kms one one of mine.. For A/NZ market especially I think this is going to be challenging but at least Kia Sorrento diesel still exists and others options like new Land Cruiser looks good.. They have already discounted some of these (pre order) in this market..

Really good review Tish, thank you. Very good looking vehicle and well appointed to make it great to travel in But think the towing capacity might hamper its sales instead of towing a family 6 berth you will be lucky to tow a 2 berth which negates the need for a 7 seater , shame.

As nice and practical as the car is, fact remains that the Calligraphy spec is over priced by at least £15-20k, target price should be around £30-35k not upwards of £50-55k! For a Hyundai that is madness! We must stand up to Manufacturers trying their luck and increasing prices just because it’s the UK!

Borrowing some ideas from the Defender i see. Lol right off the bat: the style. As mentioned definitely resembles the Defender in terms of its style, but everything else is where you'll see the difference. Love the LEDs at the front, but at the back the turn signals are too low. Idk why they took that route so I am gonna zonk that. Love the interior. Lots of storage, ambient lighting. But here's what boils my zonks. This is an expensive car. Why is there a manually operated panoramic sunroof? That should be power folding. Same with the steering wheel. Manually operated instead of power tilting and telescopic. DOUBLE ZONKS!! Other than that a very decent SUV. Nice review.

I am a potential buyer for this type of vehicle. However it would never be compared to a Defender. Which is a lifestyle vehicle with relatively modest boot and four seats. I need a car with a really big boot capacity and this would fill the bill. However you never stated what its electric only range is for the phev and its a modest 31 miles which in the real world will be less. Always ignore fuel consumption figures on PHEV vehicles as they are a nonsense. It assumes you always drive from home with a full battery which you didnt have to pay for the electricity and you only went a Short distance. Its competitiors which are more expensive are the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 and so it appears good value. The important thing though is second hand values and depreciation and that may prove its undoing with such a low towing capacity and poor performance compoared to the cars I have mentioned means that actually it is too expensive to compete and the real cost of ownership would be higher than these prestige models. I own a Volvo XC90 recharge and past owner of an Audi Q7.
