Year to Year Changes


2002 Hyundai Santa Fe: Nothing noteworthy changed for 2002, except that the four-cylinder GL exchanged front-disc/rear-drum brakes for the four-wheel discs of the V6 models. The V6-powered GLS and top-line LX models came with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Traction control was optional on the GLS, but standard on the LX. ABS was standard on the LX and optional for other models. The right-side dashboard airbag automatically shut off if a sensor detected a child or no occupant, but side airbags were not available.
2003 Hyundai Santa Fe: Front side airbags became standard for 2003, and all Santa Fes now had all-disc brakes. New options included a six-disc CD changer and a Homelink remote control unit.
2004 Hyundai Santa Fe: No new changes were made to the Santa Fe in 2004.
2005 Hyundai Santa Fe: Hyundai gives Santa Fe a slight facelift for 2005 and drops its 4-cyl engine. The lineup now includes GLS and uplevel LX models, both with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive without low-range gearing.
2006 Hyundai Santa Fe: Santa Fe is unchanged.
