2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Review
When you want a big, spacious SUV, but you aren’t aiming for three rows of seats, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid belong on your test drive list.
Kelley Blue Book bestowed the Best Buy Award and Best Family Car Award on the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe. This ride was in the top two in its class for the MotorTrend Ultimate Car Rankings. This midsize SUV got a perfect 10 out of 10 for its features at The Car Connection.
For 2023, the manufacturer has decided to increase standards, adding value to every rung on the trim ladder. You can learn more about trim levels, powertrains, hybrid models, PHEV models, and more in this authoritative review. Keep scrolling to get the facts.
Basic Style
With its dual-level dash, pod-shaped vents, and the concentration of controls on the center console, the Santa Fe sets itself apart from standard SUV designs. Cockpits have an electric parking brake and an electronic shifter. The tilt-telescoping steering wheel has duplicate infotainment buttons and Shiftronic paddle shifters.
Santa Fe SE models have a stain resistant upholstery that parents really like. Anti-tip cupholders and numerous front-seat storage spaces are helpful assets. Seats are well-bolstered with a good view and ample adjustability. The second row has a dedicated USB port, AC vents and reclining chairs.
An 8-inch display coordinates with your smartphone via Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A quiet mode can block noise on the second row where kids may be sleeping. This device is somewhat exclusive to Hyundais.
The long list of driver assistance aids got longer for 2023. Adaptive cruise control is now standard on the SE. This system slows and speeds automatically based on traffic conditions and the driver’s input. All Hyundai models are available for your inspection at our San Tan dealership.
2023 Updates for the SEL and XRT Trims
The SEL model, always popular for its big value package, is now even richer. The largest touch screen system dresses the dash in the most modern technology. It comes with navigation, traffic, and HD Radio HERE. The infotainment system utilizes Dynamic Voice Recognition for better interactions.
SEL cabins gain dual auto temperature control and manual rear sunshades to help families beat the Phoenix AZ heat. The Hyundai Digital Key allows drivers to use a smartphone instead of the physical key. A power liftgate with hands-free capability makes it easier to access the cargo hold.
Drivers enjoy a power-adjustable chair, push button start and a wireless charger. Parents will appreciate the new rear occupant alert with its ultrasonic capability. Puddle lamps add a welcoming light for entries and exits at night.
Navigation is added to the standard adaptive cruise control for better cruising. Highway Driving Assist adds a touch automation to long open stretches of highway.
Similar standards are available with the sporty XRT. These models offer exterior extras such as side steps and skid plates. The interior is dressed in HTex leatherette. If you are car buying, your San Tan Hyundai dealer should be your destination for good deals and competitive financing. Our staff can keep you up to date on prices and let you know about any Hyundai Santa Fe sale.
Limited and Calligraphy Trims
If you are looking for wow, you’ll probably step up to the Santa Fe Limited or Calligraphy. This allows you to go for more luxurious color schemes and leather seats. Windows are thickened to block more noise, and the cockpit is equipped with both wide-screen displays.
Limiteds have premium soft door panels and a panoramic sunroof. The front seats are power-ventilated for our hot summer days in Phoenix AZ. The power driver’s chair gains a memory system and leg cushion extension. Additional upgrades include the power-adjustable passenger seat, LED cabin lights, and rear side sunshades.
Calligraphy models wear premium quilted Nappa leather. Luxury appointments include quilted door panels and an Eco-Suede headliner. Ambient lighting adds comfort to the night. The exterior has more fine features including a chrome skid plate.
Both models have the Surround View monitor which watches the entire perimeter to help with parking. Another camera system, the Blind Spot View Monitor, is also aboard. This smart feature sends live footage to the SUV's color screen, allowing drivers to be certain of what traffic is alongside them.
A Harman Kardon system is standard on these top trim levels. This premium audio sounds better thanks to its Clari-Fi™ Music Restoration Technology. With 12-speakers, passengers are enveloped with QuantumLogic Surround®. Hyundai Santa Fe incentives and available financing make it easier to get your favorite trim at our San Tan store.
Updates for the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV
All 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV and PHEV models have added more standard features. Clearly Hyundai is ensuring that the hybrid electric models are as modern as possible.
As far as trim levels go, Hybrid Blue models are similar to SEL models. These cabins now have the largest touchscreen, navigation, Dynamic Voice Recognition, and OTA Map updates. Highway Driving Assist is the semi-automated system that makes long distance travel as modern as possible.
Hybrid Limited models are similar to regular Limited models. This premium package has leather seats, digital instrument gauges, and a panoramic roof.
Size, Spaciousness and Cargo Ratings
The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe has 111 cubic feet of passenger space. This allows it to have one of the biggest back rows in its midsize SUV class.
Second-row passengers have 41.7 inches of legroom. That’s some serious wiggle room whether you have carseats with kids or teens or adults on the back row. Shoppers won’t find this much space on many rivals, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Honda Passport.
The HEV and PHEV models have a little less rear legroom, but at 40.8 or 39.5 inches, the second row is still quite spacious.
Cargo space is rated at 36.4 cubic feet. With the second row folded flat, you have 72.1 cubic feet of free space.
As for towing, the maximum is 2,000 pounds for the base engine and hybrids. The 2.5T turbo can handle up to 3,500 pounds. Ground clearance is 8.2 inches.
Standard and Hybrid Performance
The SE, SEL and XRT have the 4-cylinder standard engine. This powertrain delivers 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. Stepping up to the Limited or Calligraphy, the driver commands a turbocharged engine. Output is 281 horses and 311 lb-ft.
Hybrid drivers command 226 horsepower. It is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, a battery pack and dual electric motors. The all-wheel drive really is, allowing the system to choose individual wheels as well as which axle needs more power. Hybrid Blue models earn 36 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.
The 2023 Hyundai Tucson PHEV plugs in to allow for a commute-worthy 31-mile electric range. This hybrid electric powertrain is a real performer with 261 horsepower.
Safety Features and Driver Assistance
Parents and anyone else who prioritizes safety will be glad to know the Hyundai midsize SUV has earned top marks from both public and private crash testing agencies. It has a 5-star NHTSA rating and an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus designation.
When you need it, there is driver-selectable downhill brake control.; Automatic brake assist can sense when you are braking in an emergency.
Edmunds likes the “smooth-operating” advanced driver aids. These include the expanded automatic emergency braking system. It now watches for cyclists and junction dangers as well as people and stopping cars.
Other aspects assist with lane trajectory and try to prevent parking mistakes. Blind spot monitoring attempts to prevent side crash scenarios. It’s fun to visit your Hyundai Santa Fe dealer just to get a demonstration of these interesting technologies.
Cost to Own
Hyundai is known for the high value-to-price ratio that makes every trim level a good buy. Beyond that, ownership costs are kept in check by class-leading warranties and three years of scheduled maintenance.
JD Power rates this SUV’s resale values as “great” with a score of 86 out of 100. In fact, it ranks this ride in the top three of the Best 2023 Midsize SUV.
Helping keep fuel costs down, FWD models earn 28 mpg on the highway, according to EPA estimates. Hybrids earn as much as 34 mpg in combined driving.
