The 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, incorporated into the brand’s first-generation SUV designs, offers a combination of solid performance and featured value commensurate with its price point. Under the hood, customers can choose between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine pushing out 138 hp, a more potent 2.7-liter V6 delivering 173 hp, as well as a 3.5-liter V6 cranking out 200 hp. All three engines are paired with a smooth 4-speed automatic transmission, with an optional Shiftronic manual-shift feature available on V6 models. The Santa Fe is available in FWD or AWD drivetrain configurations. Inside, the Santa Fe boasts comfortable interior seating for five and features like power windows and mirrors, remote keyless entry, and an audio system with CD player. Notable safety highlights include front-seat side airbags and antilock brakes. While it does not carry the sophisticated infotainment systems and driver-assistance technologies seen in newer models, the 2004 Santa Fe stands as a practical, reliable SUV offering in its time.
