The 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe’s visual redesign is just what the crossover needed to attract new customers. The Santa Fe fully adopts the automaker’s “Fluidic Sculpture” design philosophy to make the most of its every curve, line, and edge. At the front, the grille is more pronounced and rectangular, giving it a sporty appearance, and the new LED running lamps are eye-catching to say the least. The future of Hyundai SUVs and crossovers is looking good if they all look like this one.

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Performance

Under the hood, the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe packs a 3.3-liter V6 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI), it produces 290 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque, enough to comfortably tow up to 5,000 pounds, and certainly enough to carry a cabin full of passengers and cargo hold full of luggage. The throttle response and shifting are possibly the best part, though—responsive, clean, and smooth as butter.

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Interior

The first thing people notice when stepping inside the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is the generous amount of room. There’s plenty of space to stretch in the first two rows and the driver’s view is downright panoramic. The whole interior is inviting and comfortable, thanks to high-quality materials, multi-adjustable heated seats, and numerous standard and available convenience amenities. That being said, adults in the third row will probably feel uncomfortable after long rides, and the trunk could use a bit more volume.
