2008 Santa Fe
Safety & Reliability
All models come standard with six airbags: two front airbags, two front side-curtain airbags and two roof-mounted side-curtain airbags.
Santa Fe's ultra-safe body design includes safety cage construction, steel side-impact door beams and built-in front and rear crumple zones.
ABS helps to maintain vehicle steering control while braking and comes standard on all models. During abrupt and hard braking, the brakes are automatically applied and released several times per second to prevent tires from slipping due to wheel locking.
Standard on all Santa Fe models is Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System (TCS), a cutting-edge driving stability system designed to sense oversteer and understeer conditions. During unexpected and dangerous situations, it adjusts the braking power of each wheel to help restore the driver's course.
Fog Lights help you see better in foul weather and come standard on the GL 3.3L AWD, 3.3L GLS AWD, 3.3L Limited models.
The jewelled projection headlights on all models offer brighter illumination for safer night driving. The lights extend to the side so approaching drivers can easily see the Santa Fe.
All-season radials help the Santa Fe get around in all types of weather. The 3.3L Limited come with 18-inch alloy wheels.
