2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Review | Way more than a bargain SUV.

An epic value, the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe is a stylish, sophisticated, and safe crossover SUV. Shop for the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe on CarGurus: https://cargur.us/stc8J Last year, Hyundai changed its approach to the Santa Fe. The smaller five-passenger Santa Fe Sport got drop-kicked from the automaker’s lineup, replaced by this completely redesigned version of the SUV. The larger seven-passenger Santa Fe got a new name for one year (Santa Fe XL), and then the all-new 2020 Hyundai Palisade replaced that vehicle. With a minimum curb weight of 3,591 pounds (and a maximum of 3,946) to haul around, the Santa Fe’s standard 185-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is not the one you want. Instead, choose a Santa Fe with a 2.0T in its name. That installs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in this SUV, one that makes 235 hp and a robust 260 lb-ft of torque between 1,450 rpm and 3,500 rpm. Those figures represent increases of 50 hp and 82 lb-ft over the standard power plant, and the torque is available much faster after you step on the gas pedal. Plus, turbocharged engines perform better at altitude, so if you live in a place like Colorado or you head to the mountains on a regular basis, you’re going to want the 2.0T. Either way, an eight-speed automatic transmission funnels the power to the front wheels unless you get the optional AWD system. Thoughtful attention to detail permeates the Hyundai Santa Fe. From its creative storage spaces to the stain-resistant fabric in versions with cloth seats, this five-passenger SUV addresses the myriad requirements of an American family. Our test vehicle had eight-way power-adjustable, heated, and ventilated front seats. Additionally, the driver’s seat included four-way power-adjustable lumbar support and an extending thigh support. Perched high atop the Santa Fe’s dashboard where it is easy to see, reference, and use, the infotainment system is a shining example of this technology done right. First, it has stereo control knobs. Second, it has main menu shortcut buttons on either side of the display. Third, one of those buttons is programmable for whatever function you wish it to perform. Fourth, every Santa Fe has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Every Santa Fe is equipped with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance. A driver monitoring system is also standard, along with a rear-seat reminder system designed to prevent a driver from accidentally leaving a child or a pet in the SUV. You can get a Santa Fe for as little as $27,415, but remember, you want the turbo engine, so you’re looking at $36,015 before any discounts. And there are always discounts. Plus, with a refreshed 2021 Santa Fe arriving soon, Hyundai is likely to continue offering 0% financing for 72 months until stocks of the 2020 model are cleared out.
