2023 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL
Positioning & Character
The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL is the well-balanced mid-tier trim in the Santa Fe SUV lineup. It bridges affordability and value, delivering upscale convenience features without stretching to premium-level pricing. Its design, comfort, and technology make it an attractive choice for families and everyday drivers alike.
Powertrain & Performance
Equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder GDI engine, the Santa Fe SEL produces 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Standard front-wheel drive (FWD) is included. Hyundai's HTRAC all-wheel drive (AWD) is available for improved traction in variable conditions.
Fuel economy sits at 25 mpg city / 28 mpg highway / 26 mpg combined in FWD trims. AWD-equipped variants deliver slightly lower efficiency around 22/25/24 mpg reflecting the trade-off for enhanced grip.
Plus, it offers a respectable towing capacity of up to 2,000lbs, ideal for pulling small trailers or light gear.
Exterior Styling & Design
The Santa Fe SEL rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and is accented by chrome trim, LED headlights, and roof rails elements that lend both style and practical utility.
Optional upgrades may include panoramic sunroofs and privacy glass, further enhancing its aesthetic and functional appeal.
Interior & Technology
Inside, the cabin is loaded with thoughtful amenities:
8-way power-adjustable drivers seat, heated seating, and dual-zone automatic climate control deliver comfort and ease.
A 10.25-inch multimedia touchscreen is standard, complete with onboard navigation, smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), and real-time traffic display.
Convenience features like push-button start, wireless phone charging, hands-free liftgate, and remote engine start add seamless user experiences.
Space, Cargo & Practicality
With a spacious cabin, the Santa Fe SEL comfortably seats five, with generous passenger volume exceeding 111 cuft and a total interior volume around 148 cuft.
The cargo area offers 36.4 cuft of storage behind the second row, expandable to accommodate larger loads as needed.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety comes standard with the Hyundai Smart Sense suite, which includes:
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian detection
Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
Driver Attention Warning, High Beam Assist, and Smart Cruise Control (optional)

My favorite vehicle!
By CM on Wednesday, December 11, 2019
Nine months and 20,000 miles later this vehicle has been the best vehicle that I have ever owned. My round trip to and from work each day equals to about 60 miles each day/ 5-6 days a week. It handles beautifully, is very comfortable, and has fantastic safety featurs. Mine has the 2.0T I average 25-27 MPG in smart mode. Keep in mind that my driving is mostly highway driving. The backseat, and trunk space is great! The SUV is heavy (This is a good thing) quiet, and is all around a smart purchase. - 5.0
Calligraphy replaced a Lexus GX460
By Del on Thursday, November 04, 2021
We replaced our Lexus GX460 & BMW 330i X-drive with this ‘22 Santa Fe Calligraphy and could not be happier. Drives much like the BMW without the turbo lag the 330 had. Tech blows away the GX. Can honestly say that it is my favorite car that I have ever owned. I had ordered a new Tesla Model Y and after looking at the Calligraphy found it far better looking inside and outside. HUD is my favorite feature and it is not even offered on the Tesla. The $10k I saved buying the Santa Fe over the Y will buy my gas for the next 70000 miles… Who needs the limits of electric… - 5.0
All you want and more
By Jake on Sunday, August 29, 2021
Bought 2021 in limited trim. What an awesome ride. The 2.5t is as quick as g37 I drove before and the interior I'd as good as this of Lexus or Acura brands. Technology however is far more superior. Great, really great car.
