The Hyundai Santa Fe Active turbo diesel came in eighth with a weekly ownership cost of $86.56, followed by another Kia Sorento, but this time it was the GT-Line Hybrid at $86.49 per week. While the Sorento Hybrid’s fuel bill over three years is up to $1000 cheaper than a Sorento turbo diesel, the servicing costs are much higher ($2385 versus $1308) because the hybrid needs servicing every 10,000km compared to the long-legged turbo diesel’s 15,000km intervals.
