“The Santa Fe includes advanced safety, comfort and convenience technologies as a direct result of our listening to customers’ needs,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “The recognition by Cars.com placing Santa Fe as the leader in the mid-size SUV challenge in a highly competitive product landscape, further emphasizes Hyundai’s commitment to our customers.”
Mid-size SUV models that offered many features were requested by Cars.com for the Mid-Size SUV Challenge. Selection criteria were based on 17 separate categories including ride quality, handling, front and back seat comfort and amenities, such as touchscreens, connectivity and multimedia.
“The Santa Fe is a home run for value, with the most generous buffet of luxury features and advanced tech in the mid-size group for the lowest price by a lot – barely more than some top-trim compact SUVs,” said Fred Meier, Washington Bureau Chief of Cars.com and one of the Challenge’s judges. “The touchscreen design is a master class for others, with a widescreen, fast response, line-of-sight placement and real shortcut buttons and knobs packaged around the screen.”
The Hyundai Santa Fe has also been a recipient of five additional awards including the 2019 Kelley Blue Book Long-term Ownership Value Award, a 2019 Wards Best Interior, Most Dependable Midsize SUV by J.D. Power, Redesign of the Year by ALG® and a 2018 GOOD DESIGN® Award from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and was recently awarded the top 5-Star Safety Rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The Santa Fe is about helping your drive become a safer one. An array of available driver assistance technologies actively scans your surroundings to help keep you safe on your journeys. They’ve been developed to help alert you to, and even avoid, unexpected dangers on the road and include the world’s first available Safe Exit Assist technology. At the core of the Santa Fe is the SUPERSTRUCTURE™, a state-of-the-art vehicle frame built with our Advanced High-Strength Steel for superior rigidity and strength. In the event that a collision cannot be avoided, this ultra-rigid frame helps protect occupants by absorbing harmful energy and redirecting it away from the passenger compartment.
Here are just some of the safety systems that work to keep you safe while driving a Santa Fe:
Forward Collision-avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
Lane Departure Warning System with Lane Keeping Assist
Driver Attention Warning
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance-Assist
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
Rear Occupant Alert with Ultrasonic Sensors
Adaptive Cruise Control with traffic stop and go
Parking Distance Warning – Reverse
Safe Exit Assist – This innovative feature helps prevent accidents by temporarily locking the rear doors when it detects a vehicle approaching from behind, so that rear passengers can only exit the vehicle when it is safe to do so. It will continue to monitor the vehicle’s surroundings for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off.
