Overview & Reviews

One of Hyundai's longest-running nameplates, the Santa Fe is a car-based crossover SUV aimed at buyers seeking the elevated ride height and useful cargo area of a traditional utility vehicle in an easy-to-drive package. Modern versions of the Hyundai Santa Fe are midsize with three rows of seating, quality cabin furnishings and user-friendly tech features. Whether you're shopping for a new or used Santa Fe, value is a big part of its appeal. The standard equipment list is generous, as is Hyundai's warranty coverage.

Earlier versions of the Hyundai Santa Fe range from compact to midsize in dimensions and have seating for five passengers. The 2007 and later models are a big step up in styling, performance and interior space, and they're worth considering if you're shopping for a used midsize crossover. Hyundai has since subdivided the Santa Fe line into two models: the two-row Santa Fe Sport and the three-row Santa Fe. The latter is more luxurious than its predecessors, offering premium styling and plenty of power.

  Best Mid-Size SUV-Beats Luxury models - 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By jrsactown - November 30 - 7:03 pm

  My wife and purchased a 2014 Santa Fe GLS, AWD with Ultimate Package, Frosted Mocha in Oct 2014. We paid $36,000+ T&L, about $15,000 less then our next 2 choices ( Acura mdx & lexus rx350 ). The santa fe top of the line has more features, and rides just as good. Value is unbeatable. Looks, MPG, Ride, and power are top notch. Are friends are always amazed at how good it is ( most people are not aware of how good the Hyundai brands have progressed) We now have 4,000 miles, and not one issue

  Like this vehicle! - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By The Rev - November 22 - 5:26 am

  I previously have leased Nissan Maximas and have been very happy with these cars. Living in Minnesota, this time I decided that Id like to try an all-wheel drive vehicle. Although I have only had the Santa Fe a short time I can see that I am going to enjoy driving this vehicle. So far I can find nothing major to criticize.

  Great Vehicle for Less Money - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By vpuckett - November 21 - 2:00 am

  I recently purchased the 2003 Santa Fe LX, and for the price paid its a excellent value. The other brands that I compared with the Santa Fe cost thousands more for similar options/features. Im still in the break-in period so there is not much to say about the performance or Fuel economy. The V6 24 valve fuel injected motor seems to have enough power for this vehicle and it is a quiet motor. The interior has plenty of room and is very comfortable. So far Ive been very happy and pleased by this vehicle.

  More than I expected - 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Sarasota - November 20 - 1:56 pm

  Having owned for about a week this car/truck is one great vehicle. All the research and test driving other vehicles this is the best hands down. There is so much quality in the detailing that I thought I was buying a Lexus. The infinity radio is just great along the the a/c that is so much better than my 2006 murano. These other car mfg better be looking over there shoulders.

  I have had my new Santa Fe for about a month now. I had driven one several years back, I bought it for the warrenty and gas mileage. I had a Tahoe and that didnt cut it. I LOVE IT! Its fun, zippy, and you cant beat heated seats and a sunroof, 10 year 100K bumper to bumper all for $22K !!! I have had no problems.

  Love the Santa Fe! - 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By tickleddpink - November 16 - 11:56 pm

  After six months, this SUV is still a gem! Its comfortable and has all the little things standard .Ive used it to haul bookshelves from IKEA and furniture to the Goodwill. It has a very smooth ride and its fun to drive. Zero problems in six months and its been the best vehicle Ive ever owned. Even better than my 92 Toyota Camry and 85 Cressida!
