Hyundai Santa Fe Model Research

 

Hyundai has long been known for making safe, family-friendly, and road-trip-ready SUVs, with the Hyundai Santa Fe being one of America's favorites. This vehicle recently got a complete makeover, giving the Santa Fe a sleek, boxy frame with dramatic front lighting and plenty of passenger space as you step inside. For 2024, the Hyundai Santa Fe model boasts a perky 277 horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, up to 20 city / 29 highway MPG, a towing capacity of 3,500-4,500 pounds, and a competitive MSRP of $33,950.

 

Hyundai Santa Fe vs. The Competition

When comparing the Hyundai Santa Fe model to others in its class, you may encounter nameplates such as the Hyundai Palisade, Volvo XC60, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Kia Sorrento. Of these, Santa Fe boasts some of the best safety ratings from the IIHS and one of the more affordable price points. Your other cheapest bet is the Kia Sorento, retailing for $31,990. However, it doesn't boast as impressive standard specs, nor does it share the same included technology and driver-assistance that Santa Fe does.

Specifically, the Santa Fe receives a Top Safety Pick title from IIHS, performing exceptionally well in crash testing. The EPA also rates it up to 24 MPG combined, with 20 city and 29 highway estimates.
