A reader has asked about the need to replace all tyres on an all-wheel drive car when just one gets a puncture. Myth-busting time.

Hyundai Australia has announced it will launch a ‘sporty’, range-topping Santa Fe SR in the first quarter of 2015.

Overall, the Sorento 3.5 Si 2WD is a nice competent seven-seater that rides and handles well, has a grunty and refined drivetrain, and a decent amount of standard features. It’s the perfect alternative to some of the pricier seven-seaters on the market, but for families that like to get their feet dirty, you’ll need to pay more for the 4WD variant.

Looking more mature and premium than its predecessor, the Hyundai Santa Fe completes Hyundai’s line-up refresh. It’s also now one of the stand-out drives in the seven-seat SUV segment.
