TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe splits its identity in two: the three-row ute goes V-6 only, while the five-passenger Sport leans on turbo power, a flexible second-row seat and a cushy ride to make its best case ever.

The 2013 Toyota RAV4 excels at mass-market talents like gas mileage and interior room--but for turbocharged fun in a crossover, you'll have to look elsewhere.

TCC Likes

Attractive new styling
Very good fuel economy
Easy-to-use infotainment system

Crisp new shape
Automatic has six speeds
Standard rearview camera and Bluetooth

TCC Dislikes

V-6 only on long-wheelbase version
Steering feel isn't sharp
All-wheel drive exacts bigger gas mileage penalty

V-6 doesn't return
Neither does third-row seat
Straight-line performance is just okay
