From its intuitive interior design to its comfy ride and multiple powertrain options, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe has been designed with cutting-edge technology and thoughtful detail that make it an unbeatable choice in any terrain. Whether you’re looking for a weekend road trip cruiser or an urban commuter vehicle, the 2023 Santa Fe provides luxurious style combined with maximum utility.


What’s New for 2023?

Gone is the SEL Convenience package, but a fresh new look of the front fascia in some trims brings boldness to the design. Additionally, all trims now feature puddle lamps that light up the ground near their doorways, and the SE trim now has acoustic-laminated front windows for extra noise insulation.

The SEL trim gets an array of newly standard equipment, such as rear sunshades, a leather-wrapped steering wheel for fantastic style, a 10.3-inch center touchscreen, and navigation-based adaptive cruise control. The plug-in hybrid now has standard access to Hyundai’s Highway Driving Assist.


Engine and Performance

There are four powertrains to choose from, starting with the standard four-cylinder 2.5-liter engine that produces 191 horsepower. If you’re looking for a bit more grunt under the hood, there’s an available 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine offering 277 horsepower effortlessly transmitted through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

But if you’re eco-minded and want something a bit more efficient yet still fun to drive, there is the hybrid model with its turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder that produces 226 horsepower. There’s also the plug-in hybrid version featuring a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder capable of generating up to 260 horsepower, all while making a minimal environmental impact!


Battery Range and Charging

With the plug-in hybrid Sante Fe model, the EPA estimates you can get up to 31 miles out of a single charge, thanks to the vehicle’s 12.4-kWh battery pack. When your vehicle goes a bit further than that, the internal combustion engine (ICE) kicks in for extended power needs, completing your long road trips with ease and efficiency.


Fuel Economy

The non-turbo four-cylinder is rated at 25 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, while the optional turbocharged engine gets 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. For those seeking maximum fuel economy, the hybrid model gets up to 36 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway.


Interior Comfort and Cargo

Enjoy breathable luxury with the ventilated front seats, or cozy up to heated rear seats. A digital gauge cluster and breakthrough head-up display technology deliver crucial metrics at a glance while generous passenger space welcomes up to five people aboard. For those traveling with little ones, two complete sets of LATCH connectors are available. And when you need some extra storage space, this vehicle offers 72.1 cubic feet of cargo volume with back-row seats folded.
