For the 2019MY, the five-passenger model, previously dubbed Santa Fe Sport, will be known only as Santa Fe, whereas the three-row seven-seat version will wear the moniker Santa Fe XL. Meanwhile, the diesel version will receive an “occasional-use” third-row seat and one-touch folding second-row seats.<\/p>\n

There is of course nothing new about the appearance of the 2019 Santa Fe, as those who followed the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month undoubtedly saw the European-spec car boasting its Kona-like exterior design, large “cascanding” grille, increased dimensions and a much more technologically advanced interior compared to its predecessor.<\/p>\n

The new Santa Fe should be good at keeping you safe<\/strong><\/p>\n

To recap, the 2019 Santa Fe’s cabin can be equipped with a digital instrument cluster, 8.5-inch head-up display, new infotainment system and Hyundai Smart Sense technologies, such as High Beam Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Safe Exit Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Rear View Monitor with Parking Guidance (plus tailgate safe-open guide and high definition camera), Surround View Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist and Parking Distance Warning.<\/p>\n

Other safety features include Rear Occupant Alert, which represents a Hyundai-first. This system monitors the rear seats with an ultrasonic sensor, and can detect the movements of a child or pet, reminding the driver to check the rear seats when getting out of the car, via a center instrument cluster message. The Safe Exit Assist system is also a Hyundai-first, temporarily preventing doors from being opened when another vehicle is approaching from behind – it works even if the doors are unlocked.<\/p>\n

Engine line-up includes 2.2-liter CRDi diesel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buying a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe means choosing between three different powertrains. There is a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder petrol with 185 HP and 178 lb-ft (241 Nm) of torque, a punchier 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol with 235 HP and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of torque, and a 190 HP 2.2-liter diesel with 322 lb-ft (436 Nm) of its own.<\/p>\n

All engines work alongside a new 8-speed automatic transmission, with column-mounted paddles and a multi-disc, individually controlled hydraulic channel torque converter. As for the HTRAC AWD system, it’s meant to provide comfort and control in all weather conditions with its Normal, Sport and Smart modes.<\/p>\n

Just how techy is the new Santa Fe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re really going to spend your hard earned money on one, it’s important to know that there are plenty of comfort and convenience features on-board, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity (available for even the base trim level), an available Qi wireless charging pad, available 640-watt, 12-speaker Infinity stereo system with QuantumLogic Surround Sound technology and the Smart Speed-Dependent Volume Control.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, there’s the Blue Link Connected Car System, offering enhanced safety, diagnostics, remote and voice guidance services such as Remote Start with Climate Control, Remote Door Lock\/Unlock, Car Finder, Enhanced Roadside Assistance and Stolen Vehicle Recovery.<\/p>\n

The all-new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe will go on sale in the U.S. this summer.<\/p>\n
