Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Cadillac has made only a few minor changes to the XT4 for 2021, starting with the base Luxury trim, which receives a new standard power rear liftgate and the option of leather upholstery. An optional Driver Awareness package that includes automatic high-beam headlamps and lane-keeping assist has also been added to the Luxury trim.

Pros
Stylish exterior, handsome interior design, spacious cabin.

Cons
Down-market interior materials, rough ride, loud engine note.

Lots of engine and road noise
Some controls are confusing to use
Luxury features you'd expect to be standard are optional

The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe makes premium gains with hybrid and turbo-4 power and a Palisade-like interior.

Pros
Larger standard and available touchscreens
Hybrid models
Potent powertrains
Revised transmission
Luxe Calligraphy edition

Cons
Moderate base-engine power
Middling fuel economy (except Hybrid)
Busy body

By:

The Santa Fe receives a visual freshening for 2021 that includes bolder front-end styling and improvements to its interior. Three new powertrains are offered: A 2.5-liter four-cylinder replaces the standard 2.4-liter unit, a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder replaces the optional turbocharged 2.0-liter, and a hybrid variant powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder and an electric motor joins the lineup.

Pros
Relative bargain compared to rivals,
relaxed demeanor,
nicely-equipped cabin.

Cons
Nonhybrid models could be more fuel efficient,
tight rear seat headroom,
no third-row option.
