http://www.autobytel.com/new-cars/hyundai/santa-fe/?id=32972 Autobytel recently caught up with John Shon, the Product Planning Manager for the new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. This Crossover SUV is all new for the 2013 model year. The Santa Fe will be released with 2 different wheel base configurations. The first is a short wheelbase dubbed the Sport which can carry up to 5 passengers. The second, extended wheelbase can seat up to 6-7 passengers depending on the trim level you choose. On the outside the sheet metal is all new and follows the Fluidic Sculpture design that Hyundai is known for. The character lines help the exterior design to flow while the chrome accents give this crossover SUV a more upscale look. The 2.0 liter Turbo Sport model as seen here in this video comes with 19-inch alloy wheels. Also standard on this model is a roof spoiler with a twin chrome tip exhaust and power liftgate. The interior of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe also received numerous upgrades. The panoramic sunroof gives the interior occupants an expansive view. Also available is the 8-inch touchsceen navigation with integrated rear-view camera. Passengers will be happy to note that heated front and rear seats are available. The rear bench seat features a 40/20/40 split fold for numerous combinations. The base engine on the Sport Model is a 2.4 liter gas direct injected 4-cylinder that makes 190 horsepower while getting 22 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway which is great in the CUV class. The upgraded powertrain on the Sport model features a turbocharged 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 264 horsepower while averaging 21 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. The extended-wheelbase model will get a 3.3 liter direct injection V-6 engine capable of 294 horsepower.
