The CVT on the FXT should give it much better consumption than the old truck. Subies I've driven with the new CVT have much better economy than those with the old 4AT.

The Santa Fe, if you're looking at the 4x2, is the more practical option. It's only a second slower to 100 km/h, is much more economical, and has a more comfortable ride and more space. But at the same price the FXT is much better loaded.
