Thanks to premium features, impressive performance, and top-of-the-line safety, the adventurous Santa Fe has been a favorite in the midsize crossover SUV sector for years. We fully expect the 2023 model to be no different, especially since there will be some updates and changes to make it even better than the current 2022 model. The Koons Woodbridge Hyundai team is here to help you see what’s new on the 2023 Santa Fe.
2023 Hyundai Santa Fe
Hyundai has brought back the popular Santa Fe for another model year. This SUV won’t hit the streets until later in the year, but we’ve already seen some of the options and updates available. Inside and out, there are a series of updates to make your ride better. A recent overhaul has brought the Hyundai Santa Fe a step above the competition in this highly competitive market. Updated features help it stand above the rest, and we expect the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe to remain a top contender among other midsize SUVs.
Engine Options and Performance
Not much will change regarding engine options and powertrains for the 2023 Santa Fe. The base engine option is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission that cranks out 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. With a higher trim, such as the Limited, you get a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed transmission capable of delivering up to 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. You can still maintain an impressive fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 28 mpg for highway driving and 22 mpg in the city.
The Santa Fe can be equipped with either front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive, allowing you to choose which better fits your lifestyle. The all-wheel drive will enable you to navigate various terrain and weather easily. Whichever engine you decide on, you’ll find potent power and responsive handling perfect for daily highway driving for your work commute or tackling low-speed maneuvers.
Comfort and Interior Options
With significant updates for the 2021 model year, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe will continue to impress when it comes to comfort, style, and technology. The front seats offer various adjustment options and are comfortable for both driver and passenger. Available options will include heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. Easy to use climate controls will ensure everyone is comfortable no matter what the weather is like outside. The cabin keeps things nice and quiet to enjoy a relaxing ride without road and ambient noise.
An ample amount of space will allow everyone inside to relax and enjoy the road ahead. With space enough to fit five, you’ll find plenty of cargo room, legroom, and headroom. The available panoramic sunroof allows you to see the sky whenever you want. You also get a 60/40 folding rear seat and standard stain-resistant cloth upholstery with the SE. The SEL has a power-adjustable driver’s seat, while the Limited adds a heated steering wheel. The top-of-the-line luxury Calligraphy will add ambient interior lighting, quilted leather seating, and a faux-suede headliner.
When it comes to staying connected and using infotainment features, the 2023 Santa Fe will make it easier than ever. Updates to the large 10.25-inch touch screen will make it faster and more responsive to touch. You can also connect via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to listen to your favorite songs, follow navigation directions, and even answer or return calls with just the press of a button. Also included are plenty of USB ports for charging and a convenient wireless charging station.
Attention Demanding Exterior Style
Since the last major update, the Santa Fe has been turning heads with an array of attention-demanding exterior features. The SE will come with LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, and bold paint choices. The SEL adds keyless entry, roof rails, and heated side mirrors. With the sporty SRT, you’ll get black accents, including the roof rails, wheels, and exterior cladding.
The Limited will add a hands-free liftgate, a panoramic sunroof, and 19-inch wheels. You’ll also get upgraded LED headlights and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The luxurious Santa Fe Calligraphy will come with a unique trim, 20-inch wheels, and the aforementioned features. The 2023 Santa Fe has more to offer now than ever before and is guaranteed to turn heads as you pass by others on the road.
Enhanced Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Each 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe will have enhanced safety and driver-assistance features. These features include a forward collision mitigation system to warn you of an impending collision and even apply the brakes in certain circumstances. You also get a lane-keeping assist system to bring you back into your lane if you drift over the lines. The driver attention warning lets you know if your vehicle thinks you’re becoming tired while behind the wheel. Lastly, you’ll find an adaptive cruise control system that will maintain a distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
First Impression of the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe
The Hyundai Santa Fe has always been popular among drivers looking for a mid-size SUV. It has received a series of updates in the last several years, and we’re looking forward to what the 2023 model year has to bring to the table. Features such as the bold exterior with a newly designed grille, impressive fuel-conscious performance, and top-of-the-line safety captured our attention, but the interior kept us. The advanced technology and almost luxurious finishes will keep both driver and passengers comfortable on any trip.
