2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL is still with it
Despite being on sale in its current form since 2012, the Santa Fe XL is still a crossover worthy of a spot on your must-shop list.
The Southern California native briefly lived in Sydney, and is proud to have developed a barely passable Aussie accent. He also serves on the board of directors of the Motor Press Guild. When not reviewing cars or nerding out on OEM premium audio, you can find manual-labor-averse Manuel doing his best to convince his closest friends to fix the very Porsche that delivered him home.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL starts at $30,850.
With every option box checked, it's $44,445, which is pretty reasonable among three-row crossovers.
As tested, with every option excluding all-wheel drive, my front-wheel-drive Santa Fe XL comes in at $42,695, including $1,045 for destination.
Under the hood sits a 3.3-liter V6 with 290 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque sent through a six-speed automatic transmission.
EPA-estimated fuel economy is 18 miles per gallon in the city and 23 mpg highway.
I was able to achieve 26.6 mpg after a tank of mostly highway miles.
The interior looks a little dated, but it's a pleasant and comfortable place to be.
The Santa Fe XL comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. My tester sports an 8-inch touchscreen with embedded navigation.
With 13.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, the Santa Fe XL is one of the less capacious crossovers in its class.
