It is fantastic. You can ride for hundreds of miles a day and not get sore at all. My bad back loves it. Hyundai should start making home furniture. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |

2009 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very quiet engine, no timing belt, uses a lifetime timing chain but sooo quiet.....Shifts ( 5 spd auto with the 3.3L)are very smooth. This is the better engine/tranny combo than the base GLS model. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |
2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The 3.3L V6 is strong and responsive. I never feel that the vehicle is bogged down and always seem to have extra power when I need to push the pedal. Gear shifting in the 5-speed AT (FWD) is smooth and precise with no drops or slips. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |

2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Relatively stingy on gas and yet has plenty of power to avoid emergency situations such as passing another vehicle or entering the freeway at speed. The shiftable 5 speed transmission is fun to drive and gives the ability to start in 2nd gear in needed see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |

Nice power with both V6 models, but more effortless with bigger engine. 5 sp transmission shifts smoothly. Could use a quicker downshift at times. Manual shift mode is a nice touch. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |
