2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
A familiar name is on a new vehicle with the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe crossover. The South Korean automaker’s wheel of names now includes a two-row SUV formerly known as the Santa Fe Sport. For another year, the Santa Fe XL will be used as the base model for the three-row Santa Fe until it is completely replaced. Santa Fe’s height and stiffness have been increased to appeal to a wider audience. It’s about three inches longer than the previous model, which mostly benefits passengers in the back seat. The redesigned body has a squarer, more aggressive shape, with more prominent characteristics on the front and rear. Santa Fe’s interior has more “polish” than the departing model compared to its predecessor.
Overview:
The 2019 Santa Fe is offered by Hyundai in 5 trim levels:
- Limited: 25 combined MPG
- SE: 8-Speed A/T
- SEL: 23 combined MPG
- SEL Plus: Front Wheel Drive
- Ultimate: 21 combined MPG
Performance and Fuel Economy
To make the most of your Santa Fe’s 2.4-liter engine and front-wheel drive, you may choose the all-wheel-drive for $1700. It’s possible to have the 2.0-liter turbo in the top two models for $1,600. (with Hyundai throwing in 19-inch wheels). As with the previous engine, this one may be used with either front- or all-wheel drive. Rather than using a six-speed automatic transmission, both engines now use an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The fuel economy has barely changed despite the different gear ratios—and it wasn’t the best, to begin with. The EPA estimates that a gallon of unleaded fuel will only go as far as a 2.4-liter Jeep Cherokee or a 2.5-liter Subaru Outback in Santa Fe’s standard engine. Hyundai’s 2.0-liter turbos fall short of the Cherokee and Ford Edge’s 2.0-liter turbos. The 2.0-liter all-wheel-drive Santa Fe achieved 27 mpg in our highway fuel efficiency test at 75 mph, which is higher than the previous model’s 21 mpg but not as excellent as the six-cylinder Outback’s 28 mpg. However, we managed to get barely 18mpg on the road.

Passenger Comfort
Both wheel and bumper areas have expanded in Santa Fe this year. Passenger space has been increased by 2.6 inches between the wheels and 2.8 inches from bumper to bumper. If you’re 6 feet 3 inches tall, you’ll have plenty of legroom in the back seat. With stronger bolstering and increased comfort, this year’s front seats are better than ever. In terms of dimensions, only “should room,” which tends to be a concern for Olympic swimmers and starting middle linebackers, hasn’t grown in Santa Fe. Other than that, the seats are OK, albeit they’re covered with fabric that’s a bit thin or leather that’s more robust but not particularly soft.
Cargo and Storage
The three-row Santa Fe will be unveiled later this year, although the third seat is probably best reserved for youngsters. A two-speed motorized liftgate that can be opened hands-free is available on various models from Hyundai, which should alleviate the stress of parents who are already overworked. Nearly 36 cubic feet of cargo space—about average for its class—is available in the Santa Fe with two rows of seats in place, or more than 71 cubic feet with both rows folded down. The back door is large and low, allowing for legroom and legroom between the wheel wells.
