Hi - I'm looking at a 2010 Santa Fe 2.2 auto diesel and am just worried about real world economy.
My commute is a 75 mile run on dual carriageway and the M1 and I am wondering what sort of economy I should expect to get out of the unit.
The figures suggest 39 mpg combined which I can live with if its closer to 30 then I'll think again.
Want to buy a bigger van again after unsuccessfully downsizing :(

I have a 2013 auto diesel and get 32 on shorter runs (20miles) , Not yet done the sort of run you mention but I would expect to get at least 36 mpg. We live in a hilly area. Sorry not a direct comparison.

I have 2010 auto and get 38 on dual carriageway but very careful driving. Normal motorway journeys would be 32/33, around town i get 30 usually.
My commute is 12 miles so doesn't really matter but not sure I would go so big with a 75 mile commute. Could the other half have the 4x4 type is they have a shorter commute and you get a eco thing!

Hi thanks for the replies - looks like it may be too thirsty for my commute. I've already tried the idea of getting my wife to drive the car on a day to day basis - her commute is only 5 miles - but that's a non starter - she thinks her Fiesta is a big car :(

For a car of that size (and you presumably need that size for the towing), you're not going to get any better...

Road Trip is excellent but sadly only seems to be an IOS app.
There is something similar for Android apparently

My Santa Fe shows 35 .3 mpg with mainly mixed trips over 5 miles. No towing. How accurate the indicator is I have not yet established - probably on the generous side as these things usually are.

Hi I finally succumbed - and went for the manual version Am getting an average of 41 to 42 MPG with mixed motorway and commuting - not bad for a 2 tonne beast :) The old BMW 520D was getting 45 - so not too bad a drop. Well happy - off to tow with it for the first time this weekend - Broadway here we come :)
