  • The Santa Fe is totally redesigned and Hyundai has an off-road trim. On the outside you will find an all new color, 18in wheels and off-road tires. On the inside you will be greeted by a 12.3in infotainment system, 12.3in digital gauge cluster and new materials. Under the hood is a 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 mated to an 8-speed DCT transmission.

    Totally agree it is not an offroad SUV but I will say its a good (bang for the buck) SUV that is good sized with lots of interior room and looks nice for its price. Not many 3 row SUV's for around $45k out there. Thankyou Joe and Steven, great job on the review as always !

    The Santa Fe is one of the best new car deals going, under $50k

Also the rear lights look like dog bones when the brakes are applied. I know there suppose to look like the letter "H" like the front lights , but there lower and wider whick make them look more like a dogs bone.
