2017 Hyundai Santa Fe

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2017 Santa Fe Sport sibling boast a wide selection of upgrades that add more visual punch and enhanced standard and optional features. Both of these new Hyundai haulers continue to be offered in front drive or AWD configurations and are due in showrooms here shortly.

The exterior changes to the 3-row 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2-row 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport are most evident on the front and rear fascias. A revised grille with a brush-look insert and new headlamps add more distinction up front and are balanced by a tidier rear bumper design set off with new taillamps and a twin-paired dual exhaust. Recast rocker panels with silver accents and revised 17-/18-/19-inch alloy wheels enhances the profile while new available LED DRLs and LED foglamps (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe only) round out the remix.

The senior Santa Fe also offers a new Navigation package with an 8.0-inch screen and next-gen BlueLink telematics, the latter being a Sport option. Buyers of either vehicle also can opt for an upgraded Infinity Logic7 Premium audio package with new Surround Sound and Clafi-Fi Music Restoration Technology.

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Engine

While all Hyundai Santa Fe 2017 model variants carry over with the existing 290-horsepower/3.3-liter V6, the new 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport gets modified versions of the 2.4-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder and 2.0-liter turbo four which now make 185 and 240 horses, respectively, down from 190 and 265 in 2016.
