The optional powerplant Hyundai now familiar 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4, which produces 264 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque under the hood of Santa Fe Sport 2.0T. 8.5-inch longer Santa Fe gets a bit more powerful engines - 3.3-liter 290-hp V-6 ripped directly from the new Azera. All three machines are connected to a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive with torque vectoring available.


Fuel economy is a major focus of the 2013 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport. Although bigger than ever, thanks to the increased use of lightweight high-tensile steel, reducing weight, but fuel economy, for the most part, has been fixed.

All 2013 Santa Fes comes standard with Hyundai's Active ECO system.


Hyundai has added several new driver-oriented technology to Santa Fe Santa Fe and Sport, including a new system all-wheel-drive with Cornering torque vectoring control, or TVCC for short. Hyundai TVCC can distribute torque required for each single wheel at all times, allowing the system to reduce understeer or oversteer unwanted.

Hyundai aims to increase the sense of fashion steering wheel with new drivers Selected (DSSM) in Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport. DSSM including three operating modes - Comfort, Normal, Sport, and - which can decrease or increase the steering effort depending on the mode. DSSM adjust not only the level of aid, but also in the center and on-curve build-up feel, which Hyundai says will offer a "progressive feel very natural." We have to wait and see on that one.
