Venturing into the sports utility vehicle arena through the Hyundai Santa Fe is a risk taken by Hyundai auto company. The outcome of events seems not worth the risk taken but Hyundai Santa Fe finally proved its worth as it gained prestige and impressive remarks from critics and users because of its distinct performance and style brought about by the changes and innovations done.

The latest Hyundai Santa Fe make is a four door sport utility offered in six trims and styles with five passenger capacity. The base GLS 2.7L Santa Fe makes use of a standard 2.7 liter V6 engine that can give off a capacity of 170 horsepower with 17 mpg for city use and 23 mpg on the highways. Matched with the engine is a standard five speed automatic transmission with overdrive.

The car's interior and exterior features are well matched to emphasize the sporty look and feel of the car. The controls and buttons needed to use the features for comfort, safety, entertainment and other amenities are properly located without causing too much strains on the part of the user except for the power door locks and power outside mirror. Knobs and levers are mounted on the seats to find the desired adjustment that will suit the desired position of the car's occupants.

Cargo space is sufficient both for the passengers and other added luggages. More amenities can be savored by using added packages like the Utility package offered for Santa Fe GLS which include keyless entry, cargo net, first aid kit and heated outside mirrors.
