2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited

The 2013 Santa Fe is Hyundai's midsize SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Ford Edge and Toyota Highlander when you want three rows of seating. It drives with a smooth, composed feel that's more about comfort than sport, and the steering is light and easy around town. Inside, the cabin is roomy and well laid out, with a straightforward dashboard and plenty of space for five adults, though the third row is tight for anyone but kids. Cargo space is generous behind the second row, and the rear seats fold flat to swallow bulky loads, making it a practical family hauler. The Limited is the luxury-oriented trim, adding leather, a power driver seat, and a sunroof over the GLS, but you still get the same 3.3L V6 and front-wheel drive. Its 3.3L V6 makes 290 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, giving it confident highway merging and a smooth, quiet character around town, though 21 mpg combined means you'll visit the pump fairly often. This trim unlocks a rearview camera and blind-spot mirrors as standard, which are genuinely helpful when parking or changing lanes in a vehicle this size.
