Reach the top of the mountain in the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe! At Crain Hyundai of Fort Smith, we test drive all of our available vehicles to provide the best possible service to our customers. To help you make the right choice while shopping for a vehicle, let’s discuss our favorite things about the 2023 Santa Fe.


1. Multiple Engine Options

Hyundai’s popular SUV offers several engines suitable for everyone, from daily commuters to avid outdoorsmen. The Santa Fe’s engine options are:

  • 191-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder
  • 277-horsepower, 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder
  • 226-horsepower, 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid
  • 260-horsepower, 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid


Both gasoline engines link to an automatic, 8-speed transmission and are available in all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive.


2. Room to Spare

Allow your passengers to slip into something a little more comfortable when you get behind the wheel of the 2023 Santa Fe. Hyundai left plenty of room to spare inside the cabin of the new Santa Fe, even at full capacity. Passengers sitting in the back will enjoy extra headroom and legroom. With the rear seats folded flat, you can haul well over a dozen pieces of carry-on luggage.


3. Updated Trim Levels

This year, the Santa Fe SE and SEL get significant upgrades that enhance the driving experience. The front windows of both models now come with acoustic lamination to provide a quieter ride in the cabin while driving on the highway or in noisy downtown traffic. They also receive new puddle lights that turn on when you unlock your Santa Fe remotely.  


4. Semi-Autonomous Driving

The plug-in hybrid enjoys a welcome upgrade for 2023 in Hyundai’s Highway Driving Assist system. This semi-autonomous setting allows drivers to rest their arms on their laps while keeping their eyes on the road. We think it’s the perfect addition for drivers who take frequent, long-distance road trips.


5. State-of-the-Art Safety Systems

The Santa Fe returns with some of the most advanced safety equipment on the market. In addition to seatbelts and airbags, the following features come standard in all 2023 models:

  • Forward-collision alert system
  • Automatic emergency brake system
  • Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology
  • Lane-departure alert system
  • Lane-keeping assistance

6. Maintenance Plan and Warranty

Purchasers of the new Santa Fe will receive free scheduled maintenance in line with some of Hyundai’s biggest competitors. It lasts for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. You can also drive with confidence knowing you’re covered by a 5-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty and a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
