Hyundai launches 2013 Santa Fe

By ,

Today at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, Hyundai introduced the production version of the new three-row, six/seven-passenger 2013 Santa Fe. The model joins the five-passenger Santa Fe Sport which has been on sale since August.

The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe is the only midsize crossover with a standard direct injection V6 engine (rated at 290 hp). Lighter than the defunct Veracruz by 320 pounds, it boasts a 5,000 lb towing capacity.

The spacious interior of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe features a panoramic sunroof, heated steering wheel and rear seats.

Pricing for the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe will be announced closer to its on-sale date early next year.
