2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL changes its name, stays affordable

When introduced the 2019 Santa Fe, it not only came with a new face, but a new name. The former is now the Santa Fe, and the larger three-row variant went from Santa Fe to . A new one is coming next year, but the old one is still on sale, and its pricing hasn't changed for 2019.

The 2019 Santa Fe XL starts at $30,850 for the SE trim in front-wheel drive, a $0 change over the previous year. The engine is the same ol' 290-horsepower, 3.3-liter V6, mated to a six-speed automatic. Standard equipment includes seating for seven, LED running lights, cloth seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto .

Previous years also featured an optional Ultimate package for the SE trim, but that has been discontinued entirely. There is, however, a $3,650 SE Premium Package that adds blind-spot monitoring, keyless entry, a power front passenger seat, leather seats and a third-row USB outlet.

The Santa Fe XL Limited is a fair bit more expensive at $39,550, but again, the price is unchanged from last year. This bumps up the quality with seating for six (captain's chairs replace the second-row bench), LED taillights, a panoramic sunroof, rear parking sensors and a larger, 8-inch infotainment system with embedded navigation. It also gets ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a surround-view camera system.

If you're looking for safety systems, prepare to shell out even more. The $2,100 Tech package is only available on the Limited trim, and it adds a variety of safety systems, including automatic braking, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams.
