Used Hyundai Santa Fe for Sale

The Hyundai Santa Fe shines as a capable, efficient SUV for people who spend most of their time on the go. In particular, the SUV's features are appealing for families looking for a versatile vehicle able to keep up with a demanding, variety-filled schedule. Both the second- and third-generation models feature engines that balance fuel consumption with plenty of power. While being a midsize SUV, the Santa Fe sports a roomy interior for passengers and cargo alike. The 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe sports 108 and 146.6 cubic feet of passenger volume on two- and three-row models respectively. The two-row 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe has up to 71.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats down while its three-row counterpart gets up to 80 cubic feet of storage with the seats down.

Hyundai made several substantial changes to the midsize crossover SUV when transitioning to the third generation. Second-generation models ran from 2007 to 2012 and third-generation models ran from 2013 to 2018. The standard engine receives a modest upgrade in horsepower, moving from 175 horsepower on the 2012 model to 190 horsepower on the 2017 model. The second-generation upgraded 276 horsepower 3.5L engine on the 2012 Santa Fe gets replaced with two options: a 240 horsepower 2.0L turbo and a 290 horsepower 3.3L on the 2017 Santa Fe.
