The 2013 Santa Fe comes in two sizes, the standard 7-seat Santa Fe, and the 5-seat Santa Fe Sport. The two models feature a different trim and entertain some impressive features that will inspire interest amongst customers. The 5-seat Sport model will be available in Fall 2012, while the 7-seat, long wheel base model will ship in early 2013.
Some of the new features that have come into play are a heated steering wheel and cooled seats as well as the standard heated seats. The Sport model will come equipped with the full Trailer Tow Package which has never happened before; this has traditionally existed as an additional accessory only.
Select models also include:
- Sliding second-row seating
- Heated rear seats and
- A 4.3" display screen
While other vehicles in this class also share these features, Hyundai has been able to offer these additional perks while maintaining the same price point as the 2012 Santa Fe. In that way, all this luxury is considered accoutrement that Hyundai is offering is at a remarkably reasonable price. While final pricing has not yet been confirmed, the 'base model to top end' will range somewhere between $25,000 - $39,000.
The 2013 Santa Fe will no longer feature a standard transmission option, and Hyundai has opted out on the V6 Engine completely. Consumers will be thrilled to experience the new 2.4L and Turbo versions. The 2.4 still possesses a great amount of horsepower so that drivers won't feel a sense of compromise on performance based on the smaller engine size. Nevertheless, those who want to push for speed and endurance will be attracted to the eco friendly 2.0L Turbo engine option, a confident step forward from the V6.
Our sales team agrees, the Santa Fe has clearly shone as THE vehicle that has emerged as the most recognizable and synonymous with Hyundai as a brand. We've been waiting 5 years for this fantastic redux on an already celebrated model. We look forward to seeing them all over Winnipeg roads in the coming months!

I was able to handle this car last week, when my cousins and I went for a road trip. I had an amazing experience with this mid-sized SUV crossover. However, I didn't go wild on the transmission even though it has 6-speed automatic. I need to be cautious since it wasn't my car. Anyway, this car is safe and fun to drive.

I think this car is worthy of a test drive! I am kinda interested in the features Lauren has discussed here, and I think my family will love that 7-seater capacity. You know, we always visit our relatives and we have to endure long trips just to reach them. Do you think this car will be comfy for very long trips? I hope it will be. I’ll surely check this out in the nearest car dealership. :)

The 2013 Santa Fe looks like the Hyundai Tucson, but the design is sexier in a way. :) It has stylish and functional features that I find really great. For me, it’s really a family- friendly car since it has a huge seating capacity.
