The All New Santa Fe: Want To Know What Our Staff Think?

November 14th, 2024 by
In this month’s Ask The Spokane Hyundai Experts, our team shared some of the highlights of the All-New Santa Fe with us.
Meet the redesigned Hyundai Santa Fe – your ticket to embracing the great outdoors of the Inland Northwest in style and comfort. With its clever storage solutions, spacious cargo area, and premium amenities, this SUV is ready to tackle everything from camping excursions in Riverside State Park to tailgating at Gonzaga University football games.

Leg Room-Head Room-3rd Row ( I fit! and so does my whole family!)

The new Santa Fe’s unique look not only makes it stand out in a sea of family SUVs, but it also pays big dividends in interior volume. Second-row legroom and headroom are generous, and all trims come with a third row of seating. Better still, that third row is roomy enough to accommodate 6-footers and includes Latch connectors and top tether anchors for child seats.  – -Arthur Bond, Sales Associate, 6+ footer and father of 3, including twins!

Cargo Room for Days (and All Your Gear)

The Santa Fe’s cargo room has gotten a serious upgrade – we’re talking a 4.2 cubic foot boost for a whopping total of 40.5 cubic feet. That’s plenty of space for hiking boots, camping gear, and coolers full of Spokane Craft Beer. And with a liftgate opening expanded by 5.7 inches, loading and unloading is a breeze. The flat sill and floor mean you can slide in those heavy items with ease, making the cargo area perfect for tailgating setups. -Jake Graham, Service Advisor, Jake only comes inside to work.

Storage Nooks Galore

Hyundai’s designers clearly love families because they’ve packed Santa Fe with clever storage solutions that are perfect for families with pets. The deep center compartment boasts a removable shelf and a dual-opening lid, granting rear passengers access to toys, treats, and leashes. A small storage bin at the rear of the console pops out, perfect for stashing slobbery tennis balls, and there’s even more space under the console thanks to the relocated shifter, ideal for pet beds and bags. Stash your kids’ homework, your purse, and snacks in no time, keeping everything organized on the go.  – Amber Fruin- Director, Volleyball mom and her three dogs rarely leave home without her

Get Ready for a Blast of Tech and Luxury!

Buckle up, buttercup, and step into an interior that’s about to redefine your ride. This is a clean, modern space with an airy vibe that screams luxury. Those huge windows? They’re like having the world’s biggest TV screen (minus the bad reception). Your tunes, maps, and must-haves? Forget digging through your bag, with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, it’s all at your fingertips. Get comfy, get connected, and get ready to make every trip a joyride! -Chris Borders, Parts Manager. Chris’s daily commute is almost 100 miles!

Ride and Handling to Tackle Spokane’s Roads

The Santa Fe’s increased weight lends a solid, substantial feel, making it handle like a larger SUV on Spokane’s roads. Whether dodging potholes or taking a corner tight, the Santa Fe is equally happy tackling rough terrain or handling like it’s on a straightaway. Even with the top Calligraphy trim’s 21-inch wheels, the ride is smooth and controlled. And for those off-road adventures, the XRT trim boasts a raised ride height and aggressive all-terrain tires. -Alan Shelnutt, Sales Associate, an F1 racing enthusiast, also despises potholes as a Veloster N driver.

Value For Money, You Can’t Beat it

The Santa Fe is the perfect vehicle for your active Spokane family. Its available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system and robust towing capacity prepare it for outdoor adventures. With spacious seating and cargo room, it comfortably accommodates your family and gear. The Santa Fe prioritizes safety with its 5-star and TOP SAFETY PICK+ ratings, and advanced safety features. It also offers cutting-edge infotainment and connectivity to keep everyone entertained. Backed by an industry-leading warranty, the fuel-efficient Santa Fe is built for years of reliable family service. -Ryan LaRue, General Sales Manager, generally passionate about selling new Hyundai’s
