Consumer Guide
The entry Santa Fe GLS includes a number of features that cost extra in this class—or at least aren't typically included in base models—such as Bluetooth, keyless entry, cruise control, a trip computer, air conditioning, and USB and iPod inputs. Mid-range SE models get lots of appearance upgrades like 18-inch alloys, adjustable roof-rack rails, fog lamps, body color molding, an LED stop lamp, heated mirror and wiper deicers, and other extras. Top Limited models get full leather upholstery, a sunroof, and dual-zone climate control.
For 2011, Hyundai has made the 605-watt Infiniti Logic 7 surround sound system standard on all Limited trims, and solar glass is now standard on all models.
Conclusion
While the Santa Fe doesn't offer the library of features available on some crossover models, it's very well equipped with standard features.
