Performance
CUV drivers demand a polished on-road experience, and so that’s what the new Santa Fe supplies. In the Hyundai Santa Fe, the standard engine is a 2.5L Inline 4-cylinder turbo engine that lets you reach an estimated 20 city / 29 highway MPG for Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and around 20 city / 28 highway MPG for All-Wheel Drive (AWD). The Santa Fe is also pleasantly sure-footed, a quality made possible by a number of drivetrain setups. Here’s a list with some more performance features available for this model:
- Front Wheel Drive (FWD)
- 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
- Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS)
Technology
Technology in the new Santa Fe comes with many benefits, but passenger safety is a focus for Hyundai. Hyundai offers available features and safety systems designed to help you avoid accidents and to protect you and passengers from harm. On top of safety technology, this vehicle also comes with options for enhanced infotainment and multimedia integration. The Santa Fe also offers the following:
- Driver Attention Warning (DAW)
