Hyundai redesigned the Santa Fe last year, splitting the crossover into two variants of separate sizes: the two-row four-cylinder Santa Fe Sport and the three-row V-6 Santa Fe. Front-wheel drive is standard with all-wheel drive available. Competitors include the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, Chevrolet Traverse and Toyota Highlander.
New for 2014 New available features include a blind spot warning system, rear parking sensors, ventilated front seats and a memory feature. Xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights and LED taillights are also available.
