Frequently Asked Questions about Buying a New Hyundai Santa Fe in Chicago, IL

Why the Redesigned 3-Row Hyundai Santa Fe is the Ultimate Family SUV for Chicago Drivers

The midsize SUV segment has experienced a bold paradigm shift with the arrival of the completely redesigned, 3-row Hyundai Santa Fe. Shifting from smooth curves to an adventurous, boxy geometric architecture, the Santa Fe marries rugged outdoor capability with sophisticated urban refinement. Designed to serve busy households and outdoor enthusiasts living in Chicago, Harwood Heights, River Grove, and Oak Park, the new Santa Fe provides standard 3-row seating, a cavernous interior volume, and eye-catching aesthetic presence on every roadway from Grand Avenue to Lake Shore Drive.

Visually, the Hyundai Santa Fe makes an unmistakable statement wherever it travels. Its upright profile maximizes interior headroom and rear cargo geometry, while distinct H-shaped motif LED headlights, H-pattern taillights, and sculpted angular wheel arches pay homage to Hyundai's brand emblem. For buyers who enjoy rooftop cargo boxes, kayaks, or bike racks, Hyundai engineered a hidden assist handle seamlessly integrated into the exterior C-pillar above the rear wheels. The handle remains flush until pressed, providing a sturdy, lockable step for accessing gear mounted to the roof rails.

Inside, the Santa Fe transforms into a luxury sanctuary crafted around family convenience and spatial versatility. Standard 3-row seating accommodates up to 7 passengers with a second-row bench seat, or 6 passengers when outfitted with available power-reclining second-row captain's chairs. Generous legroom in all three rows ensures that adults and growing teenagers travel in comfort, while power-folding second- and third-row seatbacks allow you to adjust seating configurations on the fly for weekend gear or hardware store haul runs through Elmwood Park and Melrose Park.

Turbocharged Power, HTRAC AWD & Heavy-Duty Towing Muscle

Powering the new Hyundai Santa Fe is a potent, high-performance 2.5L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine unleashing 277 horsepower and a massive 311 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a quick-shifting 8-speed Wet Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, the Santa Fe delivers immediate throttle response, crisp gear changes, and confident highway passing acceleration along I-90, I-294, and the Kennedy Expressway.

To master unpredictable Midwest winter weather, icy alleyways, and slick rain-soaked streets, the Santa Fe is available with Hyundai's advanced HTRAC All-Wheel Drive (AWD). HTRAC continuously monitors individual wheel speeds and driver inputs, actively modulating torque distribution between the front and rear axles to optimize traction and stability during severe snowstorms across Cook County. Drivers can select specific drive modes—including Eco, Normal, Sport, and Snow—to tailor transmission shift points, throttle sensitivity, and AWD lockup for various driving environments.

• Standard 2.5L Turbocharged GDI engine delivering 277 HP and 311 lb-ft of torque.
• 8-speed Wet Dual-Clutch Transmission providing responsive, athletic acceleration.
• Available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive with driver-selectable Snow and Drive modes.
• Towing capacity up to 3,500 lbs on standard trims or 4,500 lbs on the rugged XRT model.

For outdoor adventurers needing serious towing capability, standard Santa Fe models offer a 3,500-lb towing capacity with trailer sway control. Upgrading to the off-road-focused Santa Fe XRT trim elevates towing capability up to 4,500 lbs when equipped with the factory tow hitch, while adding 8.3 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, dark chrome exterior trim, and heavy-duty underbody protection designed for rugged trails.

Storage innovations abound throughout the cabin. The bilateral center console armrest features a unique bi-directional opening mechanism, allowing it to flip open from either the front or the back so second-row passengers can access the storage console effortlessly.

Standard and available safety features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 (FCA 2) with Junction Turning, Junction Crossing, Lane-Change Oncoming, and Evasive Steering Assist. Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2) combines Smart Cruise Control with lane-centering and automated lane-change assistance to make long drives on I-294 stress-free. Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) displays live side camera video on the gauge cluster when signaling, while Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) allows you to park your Santa Fe into or out of tight parking spots using your key fob while standing outside the vehicle.
