Questions
How many Hyundai Santa Fe cars are in the VehicleScore dataset?
2,548 cars in our dataset. That is the catalogue sample, not UK sales or production.
Which Santa Fe generations are covered?
CM, Santa Fe DM, Santa Fe TM, MX5
How these figures are produced
Specifications and counts come from the VehicleScore UK vehicle catalogue. A count of cars is the number of records in that dataset. It is not UK production, not sales, and not the number of cars currently on the road.
Power is shown in PS where the catalogue stores PS, and in bhp only where bhp is stored separately. Official fuel economy is labelled NEDC or WLTP when the test cycle is known. Figures from different cycles are not ranked together. Empty values are left blank.
The catalogue does not store a revision date, so these pages do not show a last-updated day.
