Hyundai Santa Fe's 2017 Refresh

The Hyundai Santa Fe is a capable family hauler that seats 7 with reasonable starting price. The Santa Fe gets an ample refresh for 2017; now sporting a revised front and rear, new driver assistance systems, and upgraded technology.

The 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe comes equipped with a 3.3 L V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque.  The V6 is paired to a six speed transmission and all trim levels have the option of either front or all-wheel drive. When properly equipped, you can tow up to 5,000 lbs. The Santa Fe is now equipped with the new Drive Mode Select, a 3-position setting that enables the driver to customize steering feedback and shifting with 3 modes: Economy, Comfort, and Sport mode. Robust power and excellent driver assist features are paired to a loftier suspension that makes for an enjoyable and stress free driving experience.

The interior of the Santa Fe has been given many notable upgrades that really enhance the overall appeal. Blue Link telematics, now standard on all Santa Fe’s, offer a vast array of assistance features like turn by turn navigation, remote start, stolen-vehicle recovery, SOS emergency assistance and onboard diagnostic info.

The Santa Fe’s shining attribute would have to be the enormous panoramic sunroof that stretched from the drivers seat back into the third row. Very few competitors offer a panoramic sunroof, and the ones that do are broken into separate pieces, while the Santa Fe’s is simply one glorious glass roof. 

The Santa Fe earned the title of 2017 Top Safety Pick+ in IIHS testing by receiving the highest rating possible in all crash test evaluations. Standard safety features this year include adjustable pedals, rollover protection system, traction control, blind spot monitoring, and lane departure warning. This also includes automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control when equipped with the Ultimate package. This encompassing array of features makes for stellar safety and absolute peace of mind while driving with the family.
