The all-new 2013 Santa Fe is available in two versions: “Santa Fe Sport” and extended “Santa Fe”. Showing off a modern fluid design, the line-up offers only one transmission, a six-speed automatic, and three engines. The Sport model offers two engines, a naturally aspirated 2.4l and a turbocharged 2.0l, both four-cylinders, while the extended version uses a naturally aspirated 3.3l V6. Longer by 22 cm, the latter adds a third row seat to become a seven-seater. All are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
