2011 SANTA FE: REFINED DESIGN, PROVEN DEPENDABILITY AND VERSATILITY
The Santa Fe has a refined design, proven dependability, versatility and an extensive list of standard features for a broad range of customers. For 2011, the Santa Fe adds new exterior colors. Combine these new colors with a choice of two fuel-efficient engines mated to six-speed transmissions and the 2011 American-made Santa Fe is still one of the smartest choices in the competitive mid-size crossover segment.

The 2011 Santa Fe comes standard with Hyundai's second-generation Theta four-cylinder engine. The Santa Fe four-cylinder delivers an impressive estimated 20 mpg city/28 mpg highway fuel economy rating with front wheel drive and six-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC®. A six-speed manual transmission is standard. The Theta II is rated at 175 horsepower and 169 lb.-ft. of torque. This high-tech, all-aluminum, 16-valve engine features Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) on both camshafts and a Variable Intake System (VIS) for better engine breathing.
The Santa Fe features six standard airbags, including side air curtain airbags. The combination of side and curtain airbags, which help protect the head and body during side impacts, can reduce fatalities by more than 52 percent, according to the IIHS. The Santa Fe has rollover sensors for the side curtain airbags. When the sensors detect a potential rollover, the control module triggers the head-curtain side air bags and safety belt pre-tensioners to help protect passengers against serious injury.All Santa Fe trim levels come standard with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), one of the industry's most effective life-saving technologies. NHTSA studies show SÚVs equipped with ESC experience 63 percent fewer fatalities in single-vehicle crashes. Front and rear disc brakes are standard and are coupled with a four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) that includes Brake Assist, a technology providing maximum braking force when a panic stop is detected. The system also uses Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), which automatically equalizes the braking force to the front and rear axles, based on the vehicle loading conditions. All seating positions feature three-point seatbelts and adjustable head restraints. Front-seat active head restraints help prevent whiplash by automatically reducing the space between a front occupant's head and the head restraint during a rear collision. The auto-fold style rear- seat head restraints on outboard seats also improve overall visibility, while providing easier rear-seat fold-down capabilities.Santa Fe also features a standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which alerts drivers if one or more tires are under inflated. An illuminated indicator light on the dash lets drivers know if a tire needs inflation so corrective action can be taken. MODERN, AERODYNAMIC DESIGN THAT'S DISTINCTIVELY HYÚNDAI
The Santa Fe has a dynamic and taut stance. Its wide track provides great handling and interior room. Sleek styling makes the Santa Fe aerodynamic. Standard roof rack side rails help define its clean side profile, while adding SÚV functionality. Cross bars are standard on SE and Limited models.New colors for 2011 include Moonstone Silver, Frost White Pearl, Sonoran Red, Mineral Gray and Espresso Brown.STYLISH, QÚIET AND EFFICIENT INTERIOR PACKAGE
Back by popular demand on Santa Fe Limited is Infinity's 650-watt Logic 7 Surround Sound AM/FM/CD-changer/MP3 audio system with 10 speakers (including subwoofer) and external amplifier. This optional sound machine compliments Hyundai's factory-installed navigation system featuring a high-resolution touch-screen and voice command technology available on all Santa Fe models. This touch screen navigation system also offers a rearview camera and XM NavTraffic. The rearview camera enables the driver to confidently reverse under any circumstances. Be it day or night, a clear image of all objects and surroundings behind the vehicle are instantly displayed on the navigation screen. XM NavTraffic enhances the navigation system by showing real-time traffic data when it's needed most. In addition, Bluetooth, iPod®/ÚSB auxiliary inputs and steering wheel audio controls are standard in all models.

The Santa Fe rides on a purpose-built unibody crossover platform with a 106.3-inch wheelbase. This chassis delivers a wonderful ride, handling and balance that discerning crossover buyers are looking for, along with interior amenities just right for most families. This stiff body structure provides the basis for both a more refined ride and more agile handling. Thanks to the suspension geometry and wide track width that enables greater turn angles, Santa Fe's turning circle is 35.4 feet – an advantage Santa Fe drivers will appreciate in their daily driving and parking. Santa Fe's ride and handling were tuned in California and Michigan by Hyundai's Ú.S. team with the American consumer in mind. Santa Fe uses MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension systems. A reverse L-shaped lower arm provides superior steering feel with improved dynamic control. The caster angles are set to improve straight-line stability and overall dynamics. The rear trailing arms are located on the rear cross-member and help to reduce road noise. All four wheels are controlled by coil springs and fade-resistant gas-charged dampers, while front and rear stabilizer bars help keep the vehicle flat during cornering. Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering also contributes to the Santa Fe's nimble and refined handling dynamics.MODEL LINEÚP
