It'll be replaced by the 2020 Hyundai Palisade. By contrast, last year's Santa Fe, a seven-passenger model, is unchanged but renamed the Santa Fe XL for 2019 only. The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, only available with five-passenger seating, replaces last year's Santa Fe Sport. Now, a word on just what vehicle we're reviewing. This helps it stand out a bit in a crowded crossover field, and could represent a just right size for many shoppers. It's also important to note that the 2019 Santa Fe is still a bit of a tweener crossover, falling in between the compact and midsize segments in terms of dimensions, engine choice, driving experience and price tag. You'll get more equipment for your money than other midsize crossovers along with Hyundai's generous warranty coverage. Less likely, perhaps, but that's still a major reason to get one. Basically, you're less likely to say you chose a Santa Fe because you got a great price. Its re-engineered chassis also results in an improved driving experience, which can't necessarily be described as fun, but is at least far more competitive than before. The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, by contrast, offers to do more thanks to a compelling redesign that includes a sleeker exterior and more visually interesting interior. Driving a Santa Fe has never made much of a statement to the world beyond declaring your preference for respectable utility and excellent value.
