Model Overview:

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.

  • 2007 Sante Fe, Fantastic Value - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I purchased a Hyundai for my son 2 years ago and was very impressed with the value of the vehicle. I did not like the 2006 Sante Fe exterior but read that the 2007 was going to be a significant redesign. When I found phots of the 2007 I began to compare the Sante Fe to the Hondas and Toyotas. I think that the value for the price is not even a close comparison. I knew I wanted to purchase a new Sante Fe as soon as I was able to find the best price for the model and options I wanted. I like the ride and handeling, I like how quite the interior ride is, I think that most of the controls and features are well thought out and placed within reach of the driver and I really like the way it looks.

  • great suv for the price - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

    the santa fe is a well built suv for the money. all the extras in the car u would pay a lot more for on other suvs and the quality of the car is very good. I would recommend this auto to all my friends.

  • 3.5L.........A must have!!! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    All I have to say is "wow"! Every Santa Fe should have the 3.5L. I bought this for my wife and now I get the 02 Elantra GT. Not to make the GT jealous, but I think I like the Santa Fe more (shhhh). Even if you already have the GREAT Santa Fe with the smaller engines, you need to just go test drive the 3.5L. It will bring a smile to your face.

  • Harry Hyundai, part of family - 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe

    Great car, usually we buy toyota or volvo, but took a chance with hyundai. Ive been very pleased with the car, rides great, sits comfortable, but upholstery lacks class. Had a few problems with passanger seat clicking and timing belt clicking, but dealership fixed. Did great this winter in the snowstorm. Car came with many standard features. Acceleration is excellent from 0-40, but 40-70 slows down quite a bit. Expected better gas mileage, but I only get around 18 mpg in town and 21-22 mpg on the highway.

  • Beats the Ford Escape & Jeep Victory!! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    We have driven it for almost two months and love it. Its easy to get accustomed to all the switches and pedals - the seats are soft and comfortable. It has plenty of "get up and go" for all the hills, etc. we have. We would definately want the 3.0L if we wanted to tow/haul things. We drove the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute (the same motor as the Ford Escape), Jeep Victory and other Jeeps and Saturn Vue and kept going back to the Hyundai Santa Fe! Compare apples to apples and youll come out way ahead of the others with the Santa Fe.

  • Most features for price! - 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I just bought the 2003 Santa Fe in artic blue, it is a very nice color but hard to find, and with the features it has like leather interior, automatic climate control, and six in-dash cd changer to name a few. The Santa Fe drives like a car, drives smooth and very good going around corners. The heated front seats are nice but since I live in Florida I havent used that feature yet. It is very comfortable no matter where you sit in the car, from the driver seat to the back seat. Although the driver seat is the best seat in the car.

  • One of the best new SUV - 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    We have tested few SUV and this one the Santa Fe has being the best ride so far.

  • I love my Hyundai - 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I love my Hyundai Santa Fe, we test drove lots of cars, but for the price and being a 4WD vehicle it fit our budget great. It is probably average on fuel, because before this I drove a Ford Explorer and it was awful (but I loved that truck also). It does have downfalls though, first the turn radius on the Santa Fe in no way compares with the Ford. Also we found out the hard way that you do not have to push in the little button on the gear shift to shift. I was driving 75 down the highway, when my daughter twisted around to get something from the back, and all of a sudden it was driving weird. I looked at the guage and it was in neutral. Scary! So just be careful. Good Luck.

  • I LOVE THIS CAR - 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I have owned a lot of SUVs. This Santa Fe is a pleasure to drive. Easy to get in and out of. Being a senior citizen this is very important. With the v-6 I have plenty of power to pass, or pull my trailer. Awesome quality with a warranty that assures you that Hyundai believes in their product too. I would highly recommend this car to anyone.
