Imagine heading out on a crisp morning in the surrounding area, the sun just beginning to glint off the Stormy Sea exterior of your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL. Whether you are navigating the busy corridors of the local business districts or packing up for a weekend getaway to the nearby parks and recreational trails, this Sport Utility vehicle is designed to integrate seamlessly into your lifestyle. It offers the ideal balance of sophisticated styling and rugged capability that local drivers demand. This is a vehicle built for the modern family and the weekend explorer alike, providing a refined sanctuary for your daily commute while remaining ready for whatever the regional landscape throws your way. From school drop-offs to scenic drives through the countryside, the Santa Fe SEL ensures you arrive in style and total comfort.

Performance & Capability

Under the hood, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL is powered by a Smartstream 2.5L I-4 engine featuring port and direct injection. This efficient powerplant delivers 191HP, providing plenty of pep for merging onto regional highways or navigating local thoroughfares. The engine is paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission featuring SHIFTRONIC Sequential shift with steering wheel controls, allowing you to take manual command of your gear changes when the road gets interesting.

The HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system is a standout feature for drivers in this region, providing enhanced traction and stability when weather conditions turn unpredictable. With Drive Mode Select, you can tailor the vehicle's performance characteristics to suit the terrain or your personal driving preference. The mechanical foundation is further bolstered by an aluminum engine block and a sophisticated four-wheel independent suspension, utilizing a strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. This setup ensures a composed and comfortable ride, even when the pavement in the surrounding area is less than perfect. Additionally, the Auto stop-start engine technology helps optimize efficiency during stop-and-go traffic on your daily route.

Technology & Connectivity

Staying connected while on the move is effortless in the Santa Fe SEL. The cabin features a 10.2 inch primary display with a responsive touchscreen, serving as the hub for your infotainment needs. With Apple CarPlay & Android Auto integration, your favorite smartphone apps, music, and maps are mirrored directly onto the screen. For those who prefer integrated solutions, the Navigation System with voice activation and Blue Link Guidance provides turn-by-turn directions to any destination in the surrounding area.

The driver is kept informed via a 4.20-inch gauge cluster display and analog instrumentation, while Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity ensures your hands stay on the wheel while taking calls. Charging is a breeze for everyone on board with 4 USB ports and a convenient front wireless smart device charging pad. The audio experience is delivered through 6 speakers and can be easily managed via steering wheel mounted audio controls or voice activated audio controls. To make your departure even easier, the Smart key with hands-free access and push button start allows you to get going without ever fumbling for your keys.

Comfort & Interior

Inside, the Santa Fe SEL offers a spacious and inviting environment finished with Gray Premium cloth front seat upholstery. The Heated Front Bucket Seats are a welcome luxury during chilly mornings in the surrounding area, while the 8-way power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar support ensures you find the perfect driving position for long hauls. The dual-zone front climate control and voice-activated climate control allow both the driver and passenger to set their preferred temperatures, and rear under seat climate control ducts keep those in the back comfortable as well.

Versatility is a core strength of this interior. The 60-40 folding rear seats feature manual reclining and manual fore and aft adjustments, allowing you to prioritize passenger legroom or cargo space as needed. Accessing the rear is simple thanks to the Power Liftgate with proximity cargo area access. Once inside, you will find a roll-up cargo cover, a cargo tray organizer, and concealed cargo storage to keep your belongings secure and organized. The cabin is further elevated by metal-look interior accents, a leather steering wheel, and remote activated perimeter approach lighting with puddle lights that welcome you back to the vehicle after dark.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Hyundais commitment to your peace of mind is evident in the comprehensive suite of safety technologies found in the Santa Fe SEL. The Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (SCC) and Lane Following Assist (LFA) work together to make highway driving through the surrounding area more relaxing. For urban navigation, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Pedestrian, Cyclist & Junction-Turning Detection acts as an extra set of eyes, while the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) help protect you during lane changes and while reversing.

The vehicle is equipped with a total of 6 airbags, including curtain first and second-row overhead airbags and an occupancy sensor. Standard mechanical safety features include 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes, Electronic parking brake with automatic brake hold, and Downhill Brake Control (DBC) for maintaining composure on steep inclines. Families will appreciate the Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert and Safe Exit Assist (SEA), which provides an external exit warning to help keep everyone safe when parked on busy streets.

Exterior & Design

The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL makes a bold statement with its Stormy Sea pearlcoat paint and modern silhouette. It sits confidently on 18 x 7.5-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents, complemented by black bodyside cladding and black wheel well trim. The front is defined by a striking black grille and LED low and high beam headlights, while LED daytime running lights ensure you remain visible at all times.

Functional design elements abound, including roof rails for extra gear-carrying capacity and heated door mirrors with turn signal indicators for added safety. The rear of the vehicle features a rear lip spoiler and a body-colored rear bumper with metal-look inserts. For those planning on light adventure, the trailer sway control provides added confidence when towing. Every detail, from the chrome side window trim to the deep tinted windows, has been carefully considered to create a Sport Utility vehicle that is as attractive as it is capable.
