The Hyundai Santa Fe is a mid-size SUV produced by the South Korean automaker Hyundai. First introduced in 2001, it was designed as a versatile family vehicle, ideal for both city driving and leisure trips. Its bold exterior features distinctive creases that enhance its commanding presence, complemented by high bumpers and pronounced fenders for a rugged yet refined look.
Inside, the Santa Fe offers a spacious cabin crafted from high-quality materials. The dashboard boasts a modern design with intuitive controls and easily readable gauges. Ergonomically placed switches and comfortable seating ensure a pleasant driving experience, even on long journeys.
Under the hood, the Santa Fe is available with a range of petrol engines, including the 2.4L, 2.7L Delta V6, and 3.5L Sigma V6. A 2.0L diesel engine from Italian manufacturer VM Motori is also offered. Power is delivered to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission or optional four- and five-speed automatic gearboxes.
The second-generation Santa Fe debuted in 2007, featuring a complete redesign and sharing its platform with the Hyundai Sonata. The updated bodywork adopted a more contemporary yet understated style, which has helped it maintain a timeless appeal.
In April 2012, the third-generation Santa Fe was unveiled at the New York Auto Show. This version introduced a more dynamic design inspired by the Storm Edge concept, and for the first time, the model was offered in two wheelbase variants to better suit different customer needs.
The factory tyre size for the Hyundai Santa Fe is 235/65 R17.
Optional tyre sizes include 245/65 R17 and 235/60 R18.
