2019 Hyundai Santa Fe vs 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe

Another year, another fresh lineup of vehicles enhanced with exciting new features, designs, technologies and specs. Thanks to its new design, the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe was one of the most anticipated vehicles for the new year. Now that it’s finally available, let’s take a look at the differences between the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe vs the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe.

There is a huge difference in design and performance between the 2019 Santa Fe and 2018 Santa Fe. The new 2019 is much smaller, affordable and more efficient than the previous model. However, some drivers much like the extra space and horsepower in the 2018 model. For 2019, the Santa Fe comes standard with a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that can generate 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. However, the new Santa Fe can be equipped with a more powerful 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbo engine that is capable of 235 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

What Happened to the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport?

Back in the 2018 model year, Hyundai offered the sporty crossover Santa Fe Sport along with the larger and more powerful Santa Fe SUV. However, the all-new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe ditches the 2018 Santa Fe’s design and is actually the successor to the 2018 Santa Fe Sport. The new 2019 Santa Fe is able to offer a great crossover option that plenty of drivers are excited to drive.
