2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Auto Show Photo

Now that the Tucson has joined the lineup, Hyundai's original SUV is moving up in size and prestige, sprouting a third-row seat, and offering a choice of DOHC V-6 engines to better challenge Toyota's RAV4 and Highlander. Power will trail the Toyotas', however, with the 2.7-liter making around 180 hp, and the 3.3-liter rated around 230 (final figures are not yet available). Transmission choices include a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic with the 2.7; and a five-speed automatic on the 3.3-liter. As the first Hyundai designed in Irvine, California, the new ute is smoother and more grown-up looking (several observers noted that the old car's exuberant fender lines had migrated to the Buick Enclave, also unveiled Sunday). The wheelbase grows 3.2 inches, the over length almost seven, and it's around an inch and a half wider and taller too. Safety gear includes stability control, six airbags, and an active-head-restraint system. The new 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe will be built alongside the Sonata in Alabama.
