The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe

If you’re looking for a mid-size SUV, the new 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe may be exactly what you want. Combining comfort, fuel economy, quality interior, and easy-to-use tech makes the Santa Fe an ideal and affordable option. In this article, we’ll find out what makes the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe stand out from among the competition. 

For 2020, the new features of the Santa Fe are mostly in appearance. The exterior design is more upright and square than previous designs. The two-tiered headlight system common to the rest of the Hyundai fleet is also utilized resulting in a tougher overall appearance. 

For the interior, high-quality materials and plenty of storage come standard. Passengers will find plenty of leg-room and cargo space behind the rear seats. This is thanks to the updated wheelbase which is three inches longer than previous models. 

With a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder motor on the standard model, the 185 horsepower produced is adequate to get you moving. For a bit more power, you may opt for the turbocharged 235 horsepower option. The eight-speed automatic transmission keeps you rolling smoothly and efficiently to your destination. 

Fuel efficiency concerns are relieved in the 2020 Santa Fe. It boasts 20-22 miles per gallon in the city and an impressive 26-29 miles per gallon on the highway. 

The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe interior provides comfortable seating and a quiet ride. Not only will you find an attractive and sleek interior design, but you’ll also enjoy plenty of cargo room, passenger space, and storage. With comfortable seating for up to five adults, the Santa Fe goes the extra mile with reclining rear seats. 

But what about car seats? No problem. The Santa Fe has enough space and seat belts to fit three across the back seat. In fact, you’ll find standard on all models two sets of LATCH car seat connectors on the outer seats. There’s also an overhead tether for the middle seat. 

The cargo room behind the rear seat is a sufficient 35.9 cubic feet. This extends to 71.3 cubic square feet when the rear seats are folded down. 

The 2020 Santa Fe comes in strong with high safety ratings, receiving five out of five stars from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This was, no doubt, one of the reasons US News and World Report rated the Santa Fe the winner of their 2020 Best New Cars for Teens award. 

Hyundai Santa Fe standard safety features include: 

• Rearview Camera 
• Automatic Emergency Braking 
• Forward Collision Warning 
• Pedestrian Detection 
• Driver Drowsiness Monitoring 
• Lane Keep Assist 
• Economy 

Safety features available on upper models include: 

• Rear Parking Sensors 
• Head-Up Display 
• Blind Spot Monitoring 
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert 
• Surround-View Parking Camera

Optional safety features you may consider adding are Blind View Monitor and Safe Exit Assist. The Safe Exit Assist feature keeps passengers safe by monitoring rear traffic before passengers exit the vehicle. 

The Blind View Monitor employs the driver’s instrument screen to show the SUV’s rear blind spots. It’s activated when the driver uses a turn signal. 

The 2020 Santa Fe offers three different trim levels to bring you the features that best meet your needs at an affordable price. All options come with standard front-wheel drive and a four-cylinder 185 horsepower motor. All-wheel drive and the turbocharged 235 horsepower motor are optional. 

All trim levels can tow up to 3500 pounds when properly equipped. It comes standard with a five year/60,000-mile warranty and a ten year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. 

The SE is the standard Santa Fe model and offers the best basic features at an affordable price point. In this base model, you’ll find an eight-speed automatic transmission paired with a 4-cylinder 185 horsepower motor and front-wheel drive. For a pleasurable ride, the easy-to-use tech features include an infotainment system. This comes complete with a seven-inch display screen, four USB ports, Blue Tooth, Apple Car Play, and Android Auto. 

Other standard features include rear-seat reminder, keyless entry, a rearview camera, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, driver drowsiness monitor, and lane-keep assist. Optional All-Wheel Drive can be added for an additional cost. 

The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL model includes all the features of the SE and then some. Additional features include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, Safe Exit Assist, heated front seats, satellite radio, proximity keyless entry, HD radio, blind-spot monitoring, and rear-cross traffic alert. 

The optional Convenience Package would add Dual-Zone Auto Climate Control, Hands-Free Power Liftgate, Wireless Device Charging, and a 12-Speaker Infinity Audio System. 

Even more options in the Premium Package would include a panoramic sunroof, power-adjustable passenger seats, and leather upholstery. All-wheel drive and the stronger 235 horsepower turbocharged motor are also available options for the SEL. 

The Limited model is the top option for the 2020 Santa Fe. Along with all the features of the lower trim models, the Limited upgrades a few and adds even more luxury features as standard. 

Here you’ll find ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, head-up display, a surround-view camera system, Blind View Monitor, an eight-inch touch screen, and a navigation system. All-wheel drive and the 235 horsepower turbo-charged engine are still optional. 

The award-winning 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe price point, safety, and performance make it a desirable and sensible choice for a mid-size SUV. Along with an award for the Best New Car for Teens, US News and World Report also awarded the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe winner of the Best Two-Row SUV for the Money. It also ranked #3 overall for SUVs with Two-Rows.
