2006 NY Auto Show
Santa Fe blends the best attributes of traditional SUVs with a driving character like that of a mid-sized sedan. The Santa Fe’s unique broad-shouldered stance gives it a distinctive look compared to typical SUVs.
Santa Fe owners can choose between two advanced V6 engines. The GLS comes standard with a 2.7-liter V6 or an optional 3.5-liter V6. The Limited comes standard with the larger engine. The Delta-series 2.7-liter V6 makes 170 horsepower at 6000 rpm, and delivers 181 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm. A SHIFTRONIC® four-speed automatic transmission is standard with the 2.7-liter engine.
For Santa Fe owners looking for maximum performance, the 3.5-liter V6 that’s optional in the GLS and standard in the Limited produces 200 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 219 lb.-ft. of torque at an easily accessible 3500 rpm.
The 3.5-liter engine is matched to Hyundai’s five-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC® manual control.
