Best two-row SUV: Hyundai Santa Fe

Last year, it was the Subaru Outback that came out on top, and while it's true that the glorified station wagon remains an excellent choice, especially in its less-expensive trims, the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe lineup is much more extensive when it comes to engines.

Not only has Hyundai redesigned its popular SUV for the new year, but the model is available with four distinct powertrains, all of which come with in-house all-wheel drive as well.

Once again, Hyundai is applying its patented "well-equipped for less" recipe to perfection.

My honorable mention goes to the Outback, which benefits from the addition of the Wilderness variant for 2022 and remains a solid, durable and fun-to-drive vehicle.
