2023 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT

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. Stepping up to the XRT adds rugged styling touches and standard all-wheel drive, making it the off-road-oriented choice in the Santa Fe lineup. Its 2.5L I4 makes 191 horsepower and pairs with a eight-speed automatic, delivering adequate power for daily driving while returning 24 mpg combined. Unique to the XRT are the black roof rails, dark exterior trim, and exclusive 18-inch wheels that give it a tougher look than other Santa Fe trims.
