Boxy, bold, and built around real family life, the Hyundai Santa Fe Plainfield, IN, shoppers ask us about most has grown into one of the most practical three-row SUVs around. At Ray Skillman Avon Hyundai, we keep a strong selection of Santa Fe models ready for test drives, from the fuel-sipping Hybrid to the trail-ready XRT.
Plenty of families near Plainfield, Indiana, make the short drive to see us in Avon when it’s time for a bigger SUV. The Santa Fe fits into whatever your week looks like, whether that means school pickups, Saturday tournaments, or a fall drive down to Brown County State Park. Come see which version fits your routine.
Every gas Santa Fe runs on a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and paddle shifters. That’s plenty of punch for merging onto I-70 with a full cabin and a cargo area packed for the weekend. Front-wheel drive comes standard, and HTRAC all-wheel drive is available on every trim, which is a welcome safety net once Indiana winter rolls in.
Prefer fewer fuel stops? The Santa Fe Hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor for 231 combined horsepower and an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. Towing is another strong suit. Gas models can pull up to 3,500 pounds with trailer brakes, and the XRT raises that to 4,500 pounds, so a small camper or a pontoon headed to the lake is well within reach.
A 12.3-inch touchscreen sits front and center on every trim, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so your playlists and maps pop up the moment you climb aboard. Bluelink+ lets you start the engine, lock the doors, or warm up the cabin from your phone, and over-the-air updates keep the system current without a trip to the shop.
The available Hyundai Digital Key 2 turns a compatible smartphone into your key, and wireless charging keeps devices topped off on the go. Limited and Calligraphy trims add a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12-speaker Bose sound system, making long highway stretches much more enjoyable for everyone on board.
Safety tech is standard across the lineup. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Safe Exit Assist all come on every Santa Fe, along with Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go. That last feature makes rush-hour crawls along Ronald Reagan Parkway a lot less tiring. The Santa Fe has also earned an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a reassuring nod for any parent.
The cabin is just as thoughtful. Most trims seat seven, while the Limited and Calligraphy offer second-row captain’s chairs that make third-row access easier. You get 40.5 cubic feet of space behind the second row and up to 79.6 cubic feet with both rear rows folded, so strollers, hockey bags, and a big grocery haul all fit. The Calligraphy tops things off with Nappa leather, a head-up display, and power-reclining second-row seats.
The lineup includes five gas trims, and the SE, SEL, Limited, and Calligraphy are also offered as Hybrids. The chart below shows how key features shift from one trim to the next.
