Performance
The new Hyundai Santa Fe has multiple powertrain options to suit your power craves. The base option is a 191-horsepower engine. Buyers can choose the more potent turbocharged 2.5L that makes 281 horsepower. Both gas-powered engines mate with an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers power to the front as standard or optional HTRAC all-wheel drive. The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid trims for Brunswick, ME, drivers draw power from a 1.6L four-cylinder engine paired with battery packs to produce 226 horsepower.
A plug-in hybrid is also available that makes 260 horsepower. The plug-in can drive up to 31 miles on battery power only. The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe can tow up to 2,000 pounds, while trims with the 2.5L turbocharged engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Off-road enthusiasts near Saco will appreciate the strut suspension and stabilizing bar, which limits the rough terrain feedback.
Exterior and Interior Features
Hyundai carries over the Santa Fe's rugged looks, albeit there are updates to its front and rear. Daytime running lights in the front and LED headlights flank the honeycomb grille that bears Hyundai's badging. Sculpted lines and chrome accents on the top-spec Calligraphy trim bring the drama. Rear LED taillights, a shark fin, and roof rails are options to keep the frenzy style going through Portland, ME.

Available features on the premium trims, such as heated front seats, eight-way power passenger seat, four-way power lumbar support, and ambient lighting, targeting Westbrook, ME, drivers seeking a luxurious experience in the compact SUV segment.
