What Changed

The Santa Fe receives some mid-cycle enhancements for 2010. Two new engines power the model this year. A 2.4l four-cylinder engine replaces the smaller 2.7l V6 as the base engine, whereas a 3.5L V6 is now the sole V6 engine. Both engines have increased fuel economy and the new V6 offers a significant jump in power. Six-speed transmissions are now standard on all models. Exterior styling changes include a new grille, front fascia, wheels and taillights. Interior changes are limited to updated seat materials and changes to standard equipment. The third-row seating option has been discontinued.
