2020 Hyundai Santa Fe review

1. Driver-Assist features

The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped to deal with almost anything the road can throw its way. The 2020 model comes standard with a suite of driver-assist features that can keep you and the Santa Fe motoring down the road in harmony. Forward collision-avoidance with pedestrian detection and driver attention warning can help you stay alert and aware of your surroundings. The SEL trim adds both blind spot collision-avoidance assistance and rear cross-traffic avoidance assistance.

2. The latest tech

For 2020, the Santa Fe comes well equipped with the latest technology. The base SE comes standard with a seven-inch touchscreen display that's equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Bluetooth^® hands-free connectivity is also standard, allowing you to not only stream music from your mobile device, but also make phone calls. Choosing an SEL or higher trim adds a proximity key with push-button start, and the Limited comes standard with a handy wireless-device charging station.

3. Plenty of cargo space

Interior space is typically high on the list of necessities when you're shopping for an SUV. The 2020 Santa Fe checks that box, with plenty of cargo space behind the rear seats. Plus, the 60/40 split-folding rear seats provide a variety of ways to configure your cargo and still have room for passengers. Leg room is generous for both the front and rear passengers, so a road trip with four or five adults isn't out of the question. Folding down the rear seats to maximize your cargo-carrying capacity will provide you with 71.3 cubic feet of space!

4. Comfort focused

No doubt you're looking for a certain level of comfort in your SUV, especially if you're planning to use it to commute to work or for long road trips. The 2020 Santa Fe does a good job of providing a comfortable ride with a quiet and pleasant interior. A six-way power driver seat with two levels of lumbar adjustment is standard, making it easier to find the most comfortable seating position for the long haul. SEL and Limited trims have eight-way adjustable power driver and passenger seats, and the Limited models add ventilated seats to the front and heated seats for the rear passengers.

5. Available All-Wheel drive

While the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe comes standard in front-wheel drive configuration, all-wheel drive is an option across the board. When equipped with all-wheel drive, the Santa Fe is confidence-inspiring in poor weather conditions and is a good choice for those who like to spend time in the great outdoors. The Santa Fe's all-wheel drive system is designed to automatically send power where traction is needed, though if you prefer, you can adjust the AWD so the power is equally distributed between the axles for maximum traction.
