Hyundai's popular Santa Fe crossover was redone in 2007, adding 3 inches to the wheelbase and 7 inches in length to give this mid-size sport utility vehicle a wider track and a more stable ride. There are three trims, the base GLS which begins at just over $21,000, the sportier SE and the top-of-the-line Limited, our all-wheel, 7-passenger test drive with the more powerful of the two all-aluminum engine choices Santa Fe offers. Only the GLS offers a manual transmission; the SE and Limited use a 5-speed automatic transmission with a manual side-shift. This year Santa Fe upgrades the audio in the Limited with a 605-watt Infinity Logic 7 system with 10 speakers that truly replicates sound accurately and includes three-months of free XM Satellite service. A power tilt-and-slide sunroof is standard this year and for the first time an optional Navigation system for the Limited ($1,750) is available and was on our tester but the information was at least three years old. Made by LG, a worldwide electronics manufacturer, the 4X4 inch touch screen was easy to reach and intuitive to use, covering the continental United States and offering point-of-interest features. While less sophisticated than systems in luxury sedans, it offers voice and visual prompts. Santa Fe has received high marks for its construction, including a zero tolerance fit-and-finish complemented inside by the use of good-looking false metal and wood trim. Blue background lighting for gauges and around cup holders add to the upscale, modern cabin. Inside, space and comfort are exceptional with Hyundai claiming more head, leg and shoulder room than the more expensive RX350 SUV, which is two inches longer. And to tweak the competition further, Hyundai says its optional third-row seat, which can be folded flat for extra cargo space, has more legroom that the Acura MDX, Honda Pilot, Volvo XC90 and the same leg room as the Mercedes-Benz GL-class. Handling is adequate, tracking is straight-ahead with some lean in turns and over rough roads at higher speeds, a tight suspension creates jounce in the cabin. A small (35.8) turning radius helps in U-turns and parking. Santa Fe isn't just pretty with its titled front chrome grill, deeply embedded headlights and raked windshield, but also one of the safer SUV's, earning top safety marks for front and side impacts and is a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety given to only 21 new vehicles. The Limited is rated to tow 3,500 pounds using a Trailer Prep package, included with the Navigation option.
