What Edmunds Says
Odd design elements aside, the Santa Fe offers a consumer-friendly blend of space, comfort, features, performance and value.
Pros
Reasonable price, super warranty, roomy interior, long list of standard features, solid construction.
Cons
Underpowered without the 3.5-liter engine, unusual styling won't please everyone.

What's New for 2003
For 2003, side airbags become standard equipment for every Santa Fe. New this year is Homelink and a Monsoon sound system with a six-CD changer -- these are standard items on the LX, and the audio upgrades are optional for the GLS. There is a newly available 3.5-liter V6 which will be offered in addition to the 2.4-liter inline four and the 2.7-liter V6. The 3.5-liter engine replaces the 2.7-liter unit and is now standard on the LX as is a new five-speed automatic transmission.
