Hyundai Santa Fe: Two Powertrain Options
If you spend a lot of time going on vacations, it's a good idea to make sure you're using an engine that's able to tow the cargo you need. The Hyundai Santa Fe brings a standard 2.4L Inline Four-Cylinder engine to the table with up to 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. You'll enjoy having a towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds to make hauling much easier.
Heavier loads require more powerful engines, though, and so this vehicle offers the option to upgrade to an available 2.0L Turbocharged Inline Four-Cylinder engine. With up to 235 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, you can expect to pull up to 3,500 pounds; that's enough power to tow a lightweight travel trailer.
Unique Safety Features
One of the most notable features of the Hyundai Santa Fe is its full array of unique safety features. Among this is a standard Driver Attention Warning which works to alert you to signs of fatigued driving. If your steering seems erratic, your vehicle has your back, as it will provide a message urging you to stop and rest.
In order to help keep you safe when leaving your vehicle on busy roads, the Hyundai Santa Fe also comes standard with a Safe Exit Assist feature. If your car detects an oncoming vehicle while you're exiting, it will lock the door until the other car has passed. This is a great way to keep you secure while you're getting out on the highway or parallel parked in the city.
