2020 Santa Fe SEL FWD

CARFAX CERTIFIED ONE OWNER NO ACCIDENTS

The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL 2.4 FWD is the kind of midsize SUV that makes sense when you want comfort, technology and safety without paying for a top trim. Finished in Quartz White over Beige, this Santa Fe is especially well equipped with the $2,250 Convenience Package, adding 18-inch alloy wheels, a Hands-Free Smart Liftgate, rear sunshades, dual-zone automatic climate control, Infinity Premium Audio and wireless phone charging. Original MSRP was $31,690.

Power comes from Hyundais 2.4L Gasoline Direct Injection 4-cylinder paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC. Front-wheel drive keeps the package simple and efficient, while Drive Mode Select lets you tailor the response to different driving situations. EPA estimates are 22 MPG city / 29 MPG highway / 25 MPG combined.

Inside, you get heated front seats, an 8-way power drivers seat with lumbar support, a 60/40 split-folding second row with recline, proximity key with push-button start and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. The Convenience Package upgrades the cabin further with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, dual automatic temperature control with CleanAir Ionizer, rear side-window sunshades and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink.

Technology is another strong point. The 7-inch display includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while SiriusXM, Bluetooth hands-free capability, front and rear USB outlets and Blue Link Connected Services keep everyday connectivity easy. The Convenience Package adds Infinity Premium Audio with QuantumLogic Surround Sound and Clari-Fi, plus wireless device charging.

Outside, the Convenience Package replaces the standard 17-inch wheels with 18-inch alloys and adds roof side rails and the Hands-Free Smart Liftgate with Auto Open. LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, chrome exterior accents and heated side mirrors complete the look.
