2023 Hyundai Santa Fe SE

The 2023 Santa Fe is a mid-size two-row SUV that slots between the compact Tucson and the larger Palisade. It competes with the Honda Passport, Ford Edge, and Nissan Murano, offering a roomier cabin than most compact crossovers. The Santa Fe drives with a composed, confident feel, and the available turbo engine gives it genuinely quick acceleration. Inside, the cabin is quiet and well-built, with comfortable seats and a generous cargo area for its size. Standard tech includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a full suite of driver assists. If you want the Santa Fe's roomy cabin and standard safety tech without paying for the XRT's rugged looks or the hybrid's fuel savings, the SE is the straightforward choice. The SE pairs its 2.5L I4 with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, delivering 191 horsepower that feels eager around town and relaxed on the highway.
