2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
The 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe is a compact sport utility
vehicle from Hyundai, providing efficient performance
features and plenty of room for cargo and passengers.
Offered with two different powertrain configurations,
the 2003 Santa Fe shares a Hyundai-typical price tag.
It won't break the bank, but it will satisfy.
The four-door Santa Fe seats five passengers. It comes
in three different trim levels: base, GLS and LX. The
entry-level Base model has a healthy amount of standard
features and options, while the top-line LX basically
combines everything together in one impressive model.
Under the Hood
Base models are given a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine
that produces 138 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 147 lb-ft
of torque at 3000 rpm. This engine uses front-wheel
drive and is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission
with overdrive or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission.
Optional on base models and standard on GLS and LX models
is a 2.7-liter V6 engine with 173 horsepower at 6000
rpm and 182 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. 4-speed automatic
transmission is standard with this engine, while 4WD
is optional.
All models have a smooth ride as a result of front
suspension featuring MacPherson strut with stabilizer
bar, double wishbone rear suspension and hydraulic shock
absorbers. 4-wheel disc brakes are standard on base
and GLS models. Antilock brakes with traction control
come standard with the LX model and are optional on
other models.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
Entry-level Santa Fes have all the basics and then
some. They come with rear privacy glass, roof rack side
rails, an AM/FM/CD player with six speakers, air conditioning,
power windows and door locks, heated power windows,
a full spare tire and more. The GLS adds a leather-wrapped
steering wheel, fog lights, a Monsoon AM/FM/cassette
player with an in-dash 6-disc CD changer, remote keyless
entry and others. At the top of the heap, the LX has
all of this plus leather seating and heated front seats.
A Utility Package, available with base models, provides
cruise control, rear wiper/washer, remote keyless entry
with alarm, a cargo net and a first aid kit. On GLS
and LX models, a power sliding glass sunroof is optional.
The 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe is new and improved and ready
to roll.
