I think Hyundai made the vehicle my family needs, I thought of the pathfinder, but at 260 hp, same as the Veracruz, they say it's under-powered (never drove it, not persona opinion)
290hp seems perfect, 2 adults, 2 kids /w booster chair and baby chair, + a dog and all the required gear for going up north, sounds perfect.
mini van.... it's OK, but I think Hyundai has better finance options. Also I bet this Santa Fe will get better km per liter than the Dodge minivan.
