2008 Hyundai Santa Fe SE Front-Wheel Drive

Overview

The Santa Fe is a so-called crossover SUV, meaning it's built like a car, using unibody construction instead of the body-on-frame construction of a traditional truck. Also, its available seven-passenger seating makes the Santa Fa a practical vehicle for everyday use. The Santa Fe is offered in three trims: GLS, SE, and Limited. Choices of two engines are available. One engine is a 185 hp 2.7-liter V6 engine teamed with five-speed manual transmission (four-speed automatic optional). The other is a 242 hp 3.3-liter V6 teamed with a five-speed automatic transmission. The Santa Fe is available in front-wheel and all-wheel drive. Standard safety features include airbags, antilock brakes, traction control active front head restraints, and an electronic stability control. New for 2008, the Hyundai Santa Fe SE trim now features premium cloth seats. A power tilt-and-slide sunroof and upgraded audio system are standard on the Limited trim.
