Hyundai Santa Fe 2019 - Test Drive
- 6 years ago
The 2019 Santa Fe offers three engine choices, all powering the front wheels through a new 8-speed automatic transmission, with all-wheel drive optional. The base powerplant is a 2.4-liter inline-4 rated at 185 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. Buyers who want more kick in their family SUV can opt for a more powerful 2.0-liter turbo-4 estimated at 235 hp and 260 lb-ft. According to Hyundai, the engine for the long-wheelbase Santa Fe XL will be a new 2.2-liter turbodiesel-4 rated at 190 hp and 322 lb-ft that should deliver higher EPA fuel-efficiency ratings, though the company hasn’t yet estimated those numbers for any of the powertrains.
As in any family SUV, safety features are critical to lure in shoppers. The Hyundai Smart Sense suite of active-safety systems is standard on the SE and higher trim levels, the automaker says, although it didn’t specify all the versions it will offer. Safety Sense bundles adaptive cruise control, active lane control, driver-alertness monitoring, and parking sensors with rear cross-traffic alert and automatic reverse braking, among other features.
The Santa Fe is the first Hyundai to offer rear-occupant alert, which both reminds the driver to check the rear seat when leaving the vehicle and uses motion sensors to detect any movement by a child or pet after the vehicle is locked, sending a text alert if it detects any. While a rearview camera is standard, automatic emergency braking is not.
