2013 hyundai santa fe sport review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-new family hauler comes in two sizes. introductionthe hyundai santa fe mid-size crossover utility is all-new for 2013, built on a new lighter-weight, higher-strength platform. The long-wheelbase (lwb) santa fe will replace the veracruz. The lwb santa fe comes with a 290-hp 3. 3-liter v6. The result is improved cornering stability, reduced understeer (loss of front-wheel traction) or oversteer (loss of rear-wheel traction) to help the driver maintain control in tricky conditions. Its styling follows hyundai's recent fluidic sculpture design direction, though slightly toned down from the level of boldness that has helped lift the company's sonata to a major player in the super-competitive mid-size sedan segment. the 2013 santa fe's new interior is modern and stylish, with an obvious focus on soft-touch materials and thoughtfully arranged, well-marked controls. The sport 2. 0t and santa fe add more equipment, and a plethora of comfort, convenience and communications features, some exclusive, are available. the longer santa fe boasts 1. 9 inches more second-row legroom and 5. 6 cubic feet more total cargo capacity than the shorter sport does. Santa fe comes with second-row climate controls and vents and a 50/50 split folding third seat with 31. 5 inches of legroom. The second row is the 40/20/40 split folding bench in the gls trim, twin captain's chairs in the limited. the new, lighter structure is built with 37. 7 percent high-strength steel, part of the reason the base sport model is some 266 pounds lighter than the outgoing 2012 santa fe and the lwb santa fe nearly 400 pounds lighter than the veracruz it will replace. This also makes it stiffer, which enhances both ride and handling for driving enjoyment, and better manages crash energy should something bad happen. Its performance was impressive when needed, its ride was smooth and controlled over most surfaces, its braking was strong and stable, and its handling was at least as good as most competitors in its class. The leather and premium equipment package 2,950) piles on the leather interior, proximity key, a power front passenger seat, sliding and reclining second-row seats, heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control, the 4. 3-inch touchscreen audio display and rearview camera and more. A technology package 2,700) completes the feature list with satellite navigation with an eight-inch touchscreen, dimension premium audio, a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel and manual side-window sunshades. The latter two packages are also available for the 2. 0t sport, except that the leather/premium set costs $500 less because that model already has some of its equipment, and the technology package $200 more because it substitutes a 550-watt 12-speaker infinity logic 7 surround-sound audio system for the dimension premium audio. Stand-alone options include a cargo net 50), carpeted floor mats 100), a cargo cover screen 150) and remote engine start 350). standard safety features include the mandated dual front airbags plus side-curtain airbags for head protection, side-impact airbags for torso protection and a driver's knee bag. Active safety features include vehicle stability management (vsm), electronic stability control (esc) with traction control, anti-lock brakes (abs) with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist, downhill brake control (dbc) and hillstart assist control (hac), a tire pressure monitoring system (tpms), front seat belt pretensioners, a windshield wiper de-icer, a rear window wiper, lower anchors and upper tether anchors (latch) and hyundai blue link connectivity with up to a one-year free subscription. All-wheel drive 1,750) and a rearview camera are available, the latter as part of a leather and premium equipment package 2,950). Not yet available are such state-of-the art features as lane departure and blind spot warnings, active cruise control and collision avoidance systems. walkaroundhyundai further defines the santa fe's fluidic sculpture design language as storm edge because it seeks to capture the types of strong, dynamic, constant-motion shapes created by nature during a storm. We see it as handsome, dynamic and more distinctive than most other entries in its class. its three-bar hexagonal grille and wraparound headlamps (with led accents) lead to a rising beltline and that sweeps upward to a stylishly narrow third window and a standard rear roof spoiler. The rockers bulge between bold, round wheel arches, while a sculpted character line runs through the front chrome door handles, then hops over the rear handles to frame the upper surface of the taillamps, which wrap well.
