Safety features vary depending on model, variant & transmission. Please check specifications or speak to your local Hyundai dealer.
Hyundai_Safetyfeaturesicon_DriverAttentionAlert_450x284.png

Thumbs up from the judges.

We do everything we can to make every car an absolute standout. And the motoring experts have recognised our efforts with a huge number of awards and accolades. Kona, Kona Electric and Santa Fe topped their categories at the 2020 Drive Car of the Year Awards. And those 3 are just the tip of a large, trophy collection that we’ve collected over the decades which prove why these SUVs ae the best family cars in the market.

FAQs

We’ve always tried to make our vehicles stand out for their award-winning combinations of quality, style, innovation, performance, safety and value. But when it comes to our SUVs, we’ve made extra-sure they have the kinds of specific features families tend to want – like spacious cabins with high rooflines, comfortable seating, clever storage, the best in safety, the latest in connectivity, and enjoyable driveability. But we’ve also put in a few more features they might not have known about but which they’ll find indispensable once they’ve got them.

The smart one-touch walk-in switch on the Santa Fe automatically collapses and slides the 2nd row seats so kids can get in and out of the 3rd row more easily – and you don’t have to lift more than a finger to make it happen.

Rear Occupant Alert on Santa Fe – a clever safety system using an ultrasonic sensor to detect back seat occupants ensures that no one ever gets left behind!

Apple CarPlayTM and AndroidTM Auto compatibility, which is a standard feature across our entire SUV range so you can safely access your phone’s hands-free features and control your music.

You can always add more family-friendly practicalities to your SUV with Hyundai Genuine Accessories. Keep your drinks chilled on any adventure with a portable cooler; with 15L capacity there’s room to keep your picnic sandwiches too. And if you have furry family members, you can play it sensible by accessorising your interior with a perfectly fitted, water-resistant and extra durable rear seat pet cover?

We could go on. But getting back to the original question: Are Hyundai SUVs good for families? Yes! They’re so good, in fact, that they were made for them.
