The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is a powerful and capable SUV. Its features and options are numerous, and its towing power is considerable. Here we’ll detail all this remarkable SUV can do for our valued patrons.
Towing Capacity and Other Core Ratings
Two engine cores are available to power the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe, each with its own towing rating. The first one, standard on the SE, SEL, and XRT trim levels, is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine providing 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. It comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission on the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions of all three trim levels.
This engine takes the 2023 Santa Fe from zero to 60 in nine seconds and has a solid fuel economy rating of 25 mpg in town and 28 mpg on the highway. The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is capable of towing up to 2,000 pounds and carrying up to 1,281 pounds with this setup.
The second engine core, standard on the Limited and Calligraphy trim levels, is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder tied to a turbocharger, generating 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. It also comes coupled with a dual-clutch version of the eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard for this engine setup, but all-wheel drive is available.
This more powerful engine takes the 2023 Santa Fe from zero to 60 in 6.2 seconds, remarkably fast for a vehicle in its class. It gets 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the open road. With this setup, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe can tow up to 3,500 pounds and carry up to 1,488 pounds.
Both of these core setups come with unified multi-link strut suspension systems. This suspension system configurationmakes the 2023 Santa Fe capable of responding to changing road conditions on an individual tire basis, putting power just where it needs to be, right when it needs to be, to maintain traction. This makes it operationally superior to SUVs with suspension systems that don’t follow a unified or multi-strut format.
Exterior Styling and Features
The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe has a unique style for an SUV. It features bright but razor-thin headlights, a wide octagonal grille with white and body-colored borders, eight ultra-bright fog lamps, and deep, flowing body lines.
Its standard exterior features include automatic on and off Aero-Composite headlights, chrome window trim, deeply tinted glass, 18-inch alloy wheels, front and rear windshield wipers, and folding side-view mirrors. Chrome door handles, LED brake lights, roof rack rails, rain-detecting windshield wipers, 20-inch alloy wheels, heated versions of the side mirrors with turn indicators, a chrome grille, and first and second-row sunroofs are optional.
Entertainment Features and Options
The standard sound system for the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe has six speakers and features voice activation and speed-compensated volume control. It comes with an 8-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, hands-free Bluetooth, and rear-seat quiet mode programming. This system can be upgraded to a 12-speaker Harmon/Kardon version with a subwoofer, an amplifier, Clari-Fi audio technology, Quantum Logic surround sound, and dynamic voice recognition. The infotainment system can be upgraded to a 10.25-inch version with the programming mentioned above, plus BlueLink, SiriusXM satellite radio, Over-the-Air Navigation, and HD radio programming.
Interior Styling, Features, and Options
The interior styling of the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is remarkably smooth for an SUV. Its main console has a soft, almost winged pattern extending up and out from its center point. It features a digital gauge cluster for the driver, an infotainment and GPS screen set high onto the console, and a wide range of feature-related buttons down the central pillar.
Standard interior features include a metal-look gear shifter, a pair of 12-volt DC power outlets, a manually tilting and telescoping steering column, auto-locking doors, metal-look interior trim, a concealed storage bay in the cargo area, a day/night rearview mirror, an HVAC system with console and under-seat ducts, and fade-to-off interior lighting. The 2023 Santa Fe comes standard with distance-pacing stop-and-go cruise control and stain-resistant cloth seating upholstery. Interior options on this SUV include a simulated suede headliner, a head-up display, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, one-touch up and down power windows, a heated steering wheel, and leatherette interior trim.
Eight-way power-adjustable heated and ventilated bucket seats with four-way power-adjustable lumbar supports and power cushion extensions are optional, as is quilted premium Nappa leather seat upholstery. This Santa Fe has standard cargo space measuring 36.4 cubic feet or 72.1 cubic feet with the seats folded down. It has impressive legroom, measuring 44.1 inches in front and 41.7 inches in the rear.
Vital Hyundai Safety Features
The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped with an imposing range of both high-tech and tested and true classic safety features. These include dual-stage driver and passenger airbags, rear child safety locks, a lane following assistance system, active driver monitoring and alert, ABS Driveline traction control, electronic stability controls, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, a backup camera, and forward and rear collision mitigation with avoidance assistance.
The tire pressure warning system details which tires are low on air. Safety options for this powerful but extremely safe SUV include an Aerial View 360-degree camera system and the Smart Park automatic parking system with remote functionality. The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe uses disc brakes on all four wheels. This brake format has far better stopping power than standard small pad brakes, allows for wider tire options, and stays cleaner than rim brakes over time.
