The Hyundai Santa Fe drives well on and off paved roads. It's an inexpensive, compact sport-utility with a tall seating position and generous cargo capacity. Its curvaceous body looks friendly, yet ready for the outdoors. All of this belies the Santa Fe's car-like ride and handling.
2003 Santa Fe models come standard with side-impact air bags. New interior upgrades include a revised dashboard center stack, larger air conditioning vents, and a revised overhead console, and GLS and LX versions come with a new 218-watt Monsoon stereo.
The Santa Fe is backed by Hyundai's long and comprehensive warranty, making it one of the most attractive small SUV's on the market.
