2015 Hyundai Santa Fe review

1. Driver-assist features 

Key driver-assist features you’ll appreciate include a backup camera, blind-spot monitoring, stability control, and even a tire pressure monitoring system. On top of this, Hyundai made some updates to provide more precise handling and a better steering feel. Alongside the driver aids, this is great for when you’ve got a full car and are hitting bumpy roads or need to navigate tight spots.  

2. Stylish interior 

The interior design of the 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe calls to mind the phrases, “classy,” “sophisticated,” and “luxurious.” The cockpit is beautiful and smart with thoughtful, easy-to-access placement of gears and knobs. There are plenty of soft-touch elements throughout the cabin. If you're a long-legged driver (or passenger), you'll appreciate that the front seats boast 41.3 inches of legroom. 

3. Towing capabilities 

If your SUV carries kids or work equipment during the weekdays and recreational vehicles on the weekends, you’ll like that the 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe has good towing capabilities. The V6 engine is plenty powerful so you shouldn’t feel much drag when towing something in the back. The estimated maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

4. Powerful, peppy engine 

A six-speed automatic transmission is standard on the 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe and there are AWD options to look for, too. While you have the 2.4L engine standard, look for trims with a 3.3L V6 engine that produces 290 hp and 252 lb-ft. of torque for a little zoom zoom. It’s a much quieter engine than you might expect too. Whether you need to sprint around lagging drivers or need to get to highway speeds quickly, you’ll appreciate this crossover’s quick acceleration. The Hyundai Sante Fe Sport can go from zero-to-60 mph in 8.6 seconds.  

5. Plenty of seating options 

The 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe has trims that allow you to seat seven. For more cargo room get a two-row option with 41 cu-ft of cargo space behind the rear seat. When those are folded down, you’ll get 80 cu-ft of cargo space behind the driver and passenger seats. The third row makes a great space for kids and teens although adults can fit back there too. It has 31.5 inches of legroom and 35.7 inches of headroom. When the third row is in use, cargo space drops to 13.5 cu-ft—though that's still big enough for some sports equipment!
