Redesign makes 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe a worthy option

If you’re looking for an SUV that’s not too big or too small, you might find “just right” with the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. An overall remodel made this reliable car more stylish and roomy, so it could be the right fit for many. Test drive the Hyundai Santa Fe at any Earnhardt Auto Centers location, including four Hyundai dealerships: Earnhardt Hyundai North Scottsdale, San Tan Hyundai in Gilbert, Earnhardt Hyundai in Avondale, or Rodeo Hyundai in Surprise. 

The 2019 Santa Fe grew in size, added bolder styling, and improved its ride and handling with suspension geometry, according to an Autoblog review. Every Santa Fe has a 60/40-split back seat to help customize the space for people or gear. 

The interior also looks more upscale, with plenty of gadgetry to impress the tech lovers. This includes standard features like a new 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital display in the instrument cluster, keyless entry, and four USB ports to keep everyone connected. Upgrades are available too, like a wireless charging pad and a heads-up display. 

With front-wheel drive, the Santa FE is rated at 22 mpg city and 25 mpg combined. Adding all-wheel drive brings the combined mpg to 23, according to Autoblog. 

Most Santa Fe models come with Hyundai’s 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder, with 185 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, says Autoblog. For more power, the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four provides 235 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both four cylinders are paired with eight-speed automatic transition. 

Standard safety features in the 2019 Santa Fe include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automated high-beam control and a driver attention warning system. Hyundai’s “Safe Exit Assist” detects traffic from behind and does not allow the door to open into traffic. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe as a Top Safety Pick+ for its crash protection and prevention ratings.
