The face of the new 2019 Santa Fe is highlighted by Hyundai's signature cascading grille and a composite light design.

The exterior design is characterized by a powerful wide stance and an athletic body that makes a statement from 100 feet away. It's a bold look that is enhanced by refined lines that reinforce the vehicle's status in Hyundai's SUV lineup.

The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe line-up offers a choice of three proven powertrains.

There is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 185 horsepower or a more powerful, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 235 horsepower. And the 2.2-liter CRDi turbodiesel engine is the 2019 Santa Fe's biggest surprise, with 190 horsepower at 3,800 rpm and 322 lb. ft. of torque at 1,750 - 2,500 rpm. All engines are mated to a brand-new eight-speed automatic transmission.

The newly developed transmission provides quick and crisp shifts for a more engaging and efficient driving experience via the available column-mounted paddles.

Premium touches such as the layered, three-dimensional instrument panel and contrasting seat stitching ensures a high level of luxury within the cabin.

Improved ride comfort, handling and stability are achieved through key developments in the suspension geometry of the 2019 Santa Fe. The biggest change sees the rear shock moved upright from an angled position, improving the ride and handling no matter the driving conditions.

The 2019 Santa Fe has Hyundai's HTRAC All-Wheel-Drive system, developed as a multi-mode system, providing an electronic, variable-torque-split clutch with active torque control between the front and rear axles. The driver-selectable HTRAC Normal, Sport and Smart modes help provide confident control in all weather conditions.

The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is loaded with technology, including Hyundai's latest AVN 5.0 navigation system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay offered with higher level trims.
