Which Santa Fe does Edmunds recommend
Edmunds' Expert Review
overall rating
First, we need to start off with a public service announcement: The naming of the redesigned 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe might throw you off. The previous-generation Santa Fe (2013-2018) was a three-row crossover SUV, but the 2019 model is now a two-row and is essentially the redesign of last year's two-row Santa Fe Sport. A three-row model called the Santa Fe XL will come out later. Got it? Great. Now the question is: How good is this new Santa Fe?
We like that the Santa Fe is a bit wider and longer than outgoing Santa Fe Sport. It's more spacious on the inside, an area where it already excelled. Hyundai also improved the look and feel of the cabin. For standard equipment, the new Santa Fe gets smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and Hyundai's attractive 7-inch touchscreen. What's more, safety features such as blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a drowsy driving warning system, and Hyundai's Safe Exit Assist — which will temporarily prevent your door from opening if a vehicle is approaching from behind — all come as standard.
Alas, one thing we weren't overly keen on the Sport is still hanging around: the standard 2.4-liter engine. Power output is unchanged at 185 horsepower, and fuel economy is lackluster. Hyundai has paired it to an eight-speed automatic transmission for 2019, though, rather than last year's six-speed. The change should slightly improve acceleration and fuel economy. Hyundai is also offering a more powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder (235 hp) or a 2.2-liter diesel. The latter won't be available until later in the model year, and it should provide the best fuel economy of the lineup.
Despite the probable confusion with its name change, the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe seems to have a lot of potential. It's a well-equipped crossover with lots of modern tech and plenty of space for your family. If you're looking for a good value in the two-row crossover segment, it's a vehicle you'll want on your short list.
trim levels & features
The 2019 Santa Fe is a five-passenger crossover, available in five trim levels: SE, SEL, SEL Plus, Limited and Ultimate. The SE and the SEL are reasonably well-equipped, while the SEL Plus and Limited add some useful convenience features. The Ultimate packs on the luxury-oriented features. For the most part, there are no significant options or packages to choose from.
All trim levels come with the base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (185 horsepower, 178 pound-feet of torque). The Limited and the Ultimate are available with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine (235 hp, 260 lb-ft). An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard across the board, and any model can be specified with front- or all-wheel drive. Later in the 2019 model year, a 2.2D trim level will be released, which has a 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine and small third-row seat, which is exclusive to the 2.2D.
The base SE trim includes 17-inch alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, air conditioning, LED daytime running lights, a rearview camera, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a 7-inch display screen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality, four USB ports (two front and two rear) and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player. Standard safety features include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a driver attention warning to prevent drowsy driving, forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and Hyundai's Safe Exit Assist, which will temporarily prevent your door from opening if a vehicle is approaching from behind.
Along with the SE's standard equipment, the SEL gets foglights, heated mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, a power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, an upgraded driver information display, Hyundai Blue Link services and satellite radio.
Next up on the trim-level ladder is the SEL Plus. On top of the SEL's equipment, it adds 18-inch wheels, a hands-free liftgate, roof rails, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, slide functionality for the rear seats, and a 12-speaker Infinity stereo system.
For a few more creature comforts, there's the Limited trim level. Here you get LED exterior lighting (headlights, taillights, foglights), a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery and a power-adjustable passenger seat.
At the top of the heap is the Santa Fe Ultimate. It has everything on the Limited plus a top-down parking camera system, rear parking sensors, driver-seat memory settings, adjustable lumbar support for the driver, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, a driver head-up display, navigation and wireless smartphone charging.
On the Limited and Ultimate trim levels, the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine option also comes with 19-inch wheels and a trailering package.

Hyundai Santa Fe vs. the competition
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
2018 Honda CR-V
Hyundai Santa Fe vs. Honda CR-V
For years, the Honda CR-V has been the benchmark for the compact crossover segment. It's comfortable, fuel-efficient, spacious and affordable. Up against the Honda, the Santa Fe has its work cut out for it. Luckily, the new Santa Fe is larger on the inside than before, with a new eight-speed automatic transmission that promises increases in both fuel economy and drivability. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Honda CR-V.
Hyundai Santa Fe vs. Mazda CX-5
The Hyundai Santa Fe and the Mazda CX-5 have similar appeal. They both boast attractive interior materials, abundant available safety features and reasonable pricing. The Santa Fe is a bit more spacious on the inside, but the CX-5 will likely be the better option for buyers who want a connected, sporty driving experience. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Mazda CX-5.
Hyundai Santa Fe vs. Nissan Rogue
While the Nissan Rogue isn't our favorite crossover, it does deserve a lot of praise. It's priced well, has lots of interior space and is very comfortable on the highway. Basically, it's very well-rounded. The Santa Fe, thanks to its recent redesign, is a pretty comprehensive package, too. Both are viable vehicles for your family vacation.
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV for Sale
Hyundai has made some big changes for 2019 when it comes to the Santa Fe. Sure, it's completely redesigned, but that's not all. The Santa Fe has evolved from a three-row SUV to one with two rows. Basically, Hyundai has redesigned the old two-row Santa Fe Sport and renamed it the Santa Fe. What about the old three-row Santa Fe? That's now named the Santa Fe XL.
The new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe gets a redesigned look on the outside and the inside. It's also equipped with a new eight-speed transmission to go with the standard 2.4-liter engine. The optional turbocharged 2.0-liter engine also gets the new eight-speed, as does the all-new 2.2-liter diesel engine. The diesel engine will be available late in the model year, but it offers over 300 pound-feet of torque, a hefty number for such a reasonably sized SUV.
Like the previous year's model, the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe offers an attractive powertrain warranty: 10 years or 100,000 miles. It also includes a lot of standard equipment for the money. There are five trim levels for the Santa Fe: SE, SEL, SEL Plus, Limited and Ultimate. They are all available with either front- or all-wheel drive. Base SE equipment includes items such as a rearview camera, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision mitigation and adaptive cruise control. That's quite a bit when you consider the SE's entry-level price. The SEL adds items such as foglights, heated front seats, Hyundai Blue Link services and satellite radio. The SEL Plus pads on a hands-free liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 12-speaker Infinity stereo system. On the Limited and Ultimate trim levels, you get upgraded interior materials and niceties such as a panoramic sunroof and an upgraded 8-inch touchscreen.
Whichever trim level you choose, the Santa Fe definitely has a competitive level of equipment for the money. Some rivals may offer a sportier experience or a bit more cargo space, but the Santa Fe can hold its own.
